I met Kavey through a friend when we needed somewhere to crash for the weekend whilst we went to Last Night of the Proms in Hyde Park. Whilst at Kavey’s I raided her sweet and chocolate box, as a blogger she gets sent lots of samples and so I had a great time, we inevitably got ... Read more »

Charles Campion‘s Banana Cake is a recipe I copied across to my blog from one of the many places I shared my food experiences before I finally realised I was “stealth-blogging” and set up Kavey Eats! It’s such a good recipe I always intended to go back and add photos the next time I made ... Read more »
Last week saw me doing more baking than drinking, as I found myself entering the Great Chocolate Cake-Off taking place at Chocolate Unwrapped. Although I thoroughly enjoy baking, in recent years it’s tended to be more bread based, so the prospect of coming up with a chocolate cake worthy of being eaten by anyone other ... Read more »
