This recipe makes classic style cookies - they're flat, chewy in the middle and crispy at the edges. Try to eat at least one while they're still warm, and the chocolate is still melty.. There's no need to chill this dough, but you can prepare it a couple of days ahead and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to bake. It freezes well too, so you can form it into flattened balls and bake straight from the freezer. You can use milk chocolate here if you really, REALLY

Banana cake was one of the first recipes I adapted and perfected to my own tastes, back when I opened my little sandwich shop in Donny town centre in 2007. The addition of the dark muscovado sugar was a chance I took, when I ran out of caster sugar - and it became my secret ingredient from then on. It elevates it from a decent cake, to a really bloody luvvley cake. By all means use whatever

These brownies are very rich and fudgy. If you prefer them more of a cakey texture, just add an extra quarter teaspoon of baking powder, and bake for 5-10 more minutes. As always, the better quality ingredients you use, the better the outcome, so please go for real butter and decent quality chocolate if you can. However, cheap supermarket chocolate and baking blocks such as Stork still give a thoroughly decent brownie.
