An end of year recipe round-up: My 2012 favourites

With 2012 rapidly drawing to a close, it feels like a time for reflecting and for looking ahead. I will be doing another post that looks at 2012 and all it has involved (and it has involved so much!) but for now - I am focusing on food. It's easier.

Here are some of the dishes that I have most enjoyed making and eating this year, in sweet and savoury form. I would love to hear your favourite 2012 meals too, either from your own blog or elsewhere!

Sweet things

Bakewell tarts (vegan)














Ugly Duckling Muffins (vegan, low-fat)


Savoury things



Celeriac fries (vegan)













What are some of your favourite recipes from 2012?

  2. I love year-end recipe roundups - I'm planning on posting one in the next few days. Everything here looks great, and your chickpea pancakes look so much better than any ones I've attempted! I really like the look of the bakewell tarts, too. Nom!

    1. Thanks Allysia! I need to do the chickpea pancakes again I think - I'd sort of forgotten them until doing this post :P

    1. They also have the benefit of reminding me of the things I made and loved and then didn't make much again :P Thank you Joanne!

  7. I love these posts at the end of year - reminds me of all that I meant to make - the avocado scones, the bakewell tarts and your lavendar baking are all high on my to do list - but since our scottish trip there hasn't been a lot of kitchen activity other than the mandatory christmas stuff - but come the new year I have high hopes - look forward to more inspiration on your blog in 2013

    1. Thank you Johanna, and I hope you enjoy those three if and when you get to them. The nice thing about recipes is that they do wait on you, if needed :) A very Happy New Year to you and I'll look forward to hearing what your 2013 brings.
