From biscuits to tiffin and traybakes: try these chocolatey teatime treats inspired by traditional Irish family favourites

Buying fresh produce in-season means it’s usually more widely available, costs less and keeps longer. At this time of year, winter fruit and veg lend themselves to comforting, budget-friendly cooking

If you’re after a vegan sweet treat, consider this Fairtrade Divine chocolate. Flavours include Dark Chocolate with Ginger & Orange, Dark Chocolate with Raspberries and Dark Chocolate with Pink Himala

What’s sweeter than homemade bakes? Ones filled with nostalgia, of course! Take inspiration from TV presenter and The Great British Bake Off star Briony May Williams
