This Fearne Cotton recipe is the queen of all tarts. Bejewelled with raspberries and a vegan chocolate smooth filling, you'll find yourself saying " just one more slice". The crust is light yet sturdy and the filling is dairy free yet beyond creamy. The crunch of the pastry combined with the creaminess of the filling, topped with the sharp raspberries, makes every bite moreish and heavenly. You're going to love this.

Here at Baking Mad we are partial to the occasional Oatmeal Raisin cookie and these ones are delicious. What's more they are really simple to make, they only take 10 minutes to bake and are a reduced sugar recipe. Instead of sugar we have used Truvia to bring the sweetness. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are a perfect mix of crunchy oats, chewy sweet raisins and a subtle hint of cinnamon. They may not look like show stoppers but they certainly pack in the flavour. We think you'll love our Oatmeal Raisin Cookies because they make a batch of 24 cookies, it takes only 25 minutes and they are reduced sugar, but you'd never know! If you want to mix things up a bit, replace your raisins with mixed fruit or you could replace the cinnamon with mixed spices for a festive twist.

In our opinion a roast dinner just isn't complete without a light fluffy Yorkshire Pudding (or two) These could also be served with a stew or alongside a comforting portion of Bangers and Mash.
