Portly Cooks | Apple Crumble
Crumble is essentially one of the first things you make at school and carry lovingly home for your family to try. It’s easy to see why, it doesn’t really require much cooking and is definitely in the category of traditional comfort food. It’s even better if you’re making it at the right time of year…
Portly Eats | Parker’s Tavern | Cambridge, UK
There’s a new restaurant in town and it’s in the newly refurbished University Arms Hotel. Parker’s Tavern is offering fabulous food with wonderful views of Parkers Piece. I went along during their soft opening to see what it was all about. Once greeted and shown to our table we were given water and menus. The…
Portly Eats | Wildwood Sundae | Wildwood, Peterborough, UK
There is something stuck in my head about the word Sunday. I think it’s from a commercial I saw once in America. You know, one of the lower budget ones that scream at you through the T.V. screen? I’m not sure if it was real or not but at the end it said, rather shouted…
Portly Cooks | Portly’s Pudding Club | Chocolate Brownies and Oreo Cheesecake
Now then I haven’t made puddings for ages but the other week I had a bunch of people over and you have to offer a selection don’t you? When in a restaurant if I order pudding, (I’m normally a starter and main kind of person) I always order the chocolate one, what ever that may…

Jack’s has some fantastic Gelato made from the freshest ingredients and a menu of flavours to kill for….
Portly Cooks | Chocolate Chip Muffins
Baking can be therapeutic, it’s relaxing to stand a whip up a batch of muffins and on the plus side it makes your house smell amazing! I was taught how to bake by my mum when I was about 3 years old and have used this same recipe ever since and it never fails. Apologies…
Strawberries and Cream Sandwiches
We were having some nice weather… as I write this it’s throwing it down with rain, but if the good weather does come back these are a nice quick pudding for a BBQ. Now, feel free to switch out the biscuits for whatever you fancy, they work very well with shortbread or even cookies. They’re…
Portly’s Pudding Club: Banoffee Pie
Carrying on from last time with the Oreo Cheesecake, I decided I would make another of my all time favourite desserts, Banoffee Pie. I honestly had no idea how easy it was to make this until a couple of years ago. I had always heard stories or boiling tins of condensed milk which to be…
Portly’s Pudding Club: Super Easy @Oreo Cheesecake!
Oreos who doesn’t love them? Especially when dipped in milk they are great. Making a cheesecake out of them though that’s all kinds of good! This is a really easy cheesecake recipe too, literally about 15 minutes to make and then just pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to go! 1 packet Oreos…
