#Ad Happy 200th birthday Queen Vic! Thanks for christening and leaving behind the greatest British cake of all - the Victoria Sponge. When freshly baked and assembled, little can compete. I had a brief panic moment when I thought I'd run out of strawberry jam, the idea of using any other kind like blackcurrant or apricot seeming abominable. Is anyone else this fussy with Victoria sponge jam? What's your favourite? 🍓 I made this cake to celebrate the launch of Victoria Series 3 on DVD and Blu-Ray, can't wait to nestle in and watch it with a cuppa! Find the recipe on my blog - link in bio and stories. #VictoriaSponge #MarthaBakes #BakingMartha #BritishBakes #HappyBirthdayQueenVic
A taste of Lisbon in London • You will all know how much I love Pasteis De Nata, the Portuguese custard tart (if you don't, take a peek at my stories from Portugal saved in my highlights!), so when I heard a rumour that somewhere in London was making them like the real thing I HAD to get myself there. I wasn't disappointed, these are a strong 9/10 on the nata scale. Thank you @santanatauk for providing for us English folk 🙌🏼 #PastelDeNata #LondonEats #CustardTart #BestBakes
My current addiction - peanut butter chocolate chip cookies 🍪🍫🥜 Gooey and chewy, with a pinch of sea salt across the top to bring out the flavour of the chocolate and make them even more moreish! The trick to perfect cookies is to get them out when they don't look ready, when the edges are firm but the centre is puffy and undercooked. They will firm up as they cool into properly chewy cookies. Find the recipe link in my stories and make sure to tag me in any pictures if you give them a go • #WeekendBaking #WaitroseAndPartners #WaitroseWeekend #MarthaCooks #BakingMartha #BakingColumist #CookieDough
#AD It's a good day when lunch involves sticky pulled beef • Whipped up one of @waitroseandpartners brand new #BeautifullySimple recipe cards for lunch today and my oh my it was delicious! So straightforward too, from collecting all the ingredients from the Beautifully Simple chiller in store to the three step cooking process. Check out my stories to see how I made it! #EasyLunches #MarthaCooks #WaitroseAndPartners #30MinuteMeals
Lemon and blueberry bundt cake • A zingy, springy favourite! I love a bundt cake because, truth is, I can be quite a lazy baker. The pattern in the tin does all the work for you, creating something spectacular with zero effort. Check out the recipe (link in my stories) for a cheeky tip for getting the cake out of the tin perfectly every time too... #WaitroseWeekend #MarthaCooks #RecipeColumn #BakingMartha #BundtCake #WeekendBaking @waitroseandpartners
One month since our perfect day, and what a month of joy and laughter it's been. Thanks for following along our journey - it's been so fun sharing the details with you! Love you @mbhaywood27 - forever and always. #WeekOfWedding #SussexWedding #OneMonth #NormalServiceResumesNow 📸: @wearethechamberlins
T H E • R E C E P T I O N A big ol' barn in the middle of the countryside that we could decorate from scratch was what we were after and what we found at @sullingtonmanor. We chose everything from teaspoons to tables and I loved it. We went for a cosy colour scheme of deep pink, gold and green and made it pop with tins, jars and hanging hoops of wild flowers. Oh - and wedding armchairs for the win!! Our caterers, @garlicwoodevents, cooked up a Lebanese feast (inspired by my trip to Lebanon with @tearfund) and it was divine! #WeekOfWedding #HaywoodEst2019 #EnglishWedding #VenueDecor #Countryside #SussexWedding @wearethechamberlins
