In my mind, biscotti are the perfect bake to dunk in hot drinks. Hailing from Italy, they are traditionally served a long side a steaming cup of coffee. But they also go down very well with the more British cup of breakfast tea!

A classic banana loaf was one of the first bakes I ever attempted which turned out well. My Mum has an old school recipe which works a dream every single time.

After a night out in London with my school friends, I was feeling ready to indulge in my favourite Sunday past time. I decided a banana loaf was the perfect recipe for such a day, it fills the house with the most amazing smell and is basically a pretty easy recipe to knock up when you are feeling a little worse for wear after one too many G&Ts (and copious amounts of dancing).
