Chocolate-covered marshmallow on a crisp digestive biscuit – what a lovely afternoon teatime treat! If you’ve never had British teacakes, they’re a bit like American s’mores, only shaped like a dome and much trickier to make.

Paqa’s Scottish Scones: Recipe #211

Spinach Pancakes: Recipe #172
Savory, bright green spinach pancakes with tomato salad and homemade hummus: I love dishes that confuse the mind and tastebuds.
