Tuna Steak @ Bentleys Bar and Grill, Margate


 
Really tasty tuna steak with hot wasabi dressing.
Great cocktails at Bentleys too.


Birthday Cake


Thought I'd share this lovely birthday my friend Rachel made for her mum.

Pecan Bourbon and Cinnamon Buns

 


I made these from Stacie Stewart's new cookbook, Stacie Bakes. Great recipe, I didn't have enough pecans so added a few walnuts.
Here's me getting my book signed at The Cake and Bake Show in London...
