If you follow me on instagram, you might have seen me posting about this rhubarb that I managed to grab from my grandparents garden last weekend. My papa grows all sorts of fruit + veg and it’s amazing to be able to enjoy seasonal produce fresh out the ground! Since this was an unplanned addition to my fridge, I didn’t have any particular recipe planned. Read Post
Gin + Tonic Ice Lollies
We’ve been lucky to have some pretty nice weather this long weekend. Sadly, we don’t have a garden to enjoy it in but that didn’t stop me getting some ice lollies on the go. Gin & tonic ice lollies, to be precise. Because if you can’t drink in the sun, you might as well eat alcoholic ice lollies inside. Or something… A classic G&T is Read Post
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars
I’m sorry if you’re on a health kick. Truly, I am – triple chocolate cookies followed by white chocolate raspberry cheesecake bars can’t be helping. But hey, sometimes my life is filled with veggies and sometimes it’s filled with desserts. Lately, it’s been aaall about desserts! I whipped up this no bake cheesecake last week when my parents were visiting for dinner. I hate to Read Post
Triple Chocolate Cookies
Oh hi super indulgent triple chocolate cookies, nice to meet you! With a soft, chewy centre and both white and milk chocolate chips these are super indulgent but so, so worth it. When I first tried baking these last Monday, I almost had a cookie-induced tantrum. One of those times when Ricky has to remind me that my cookies being slightly less than perfect is not, in fact, Read Post
Creme Egg Cookie Cups
I don’t even know how to begin this post, I’m so excited. Creme eggs! Cookies! Frosting! I’d been dying to bake something, anything, with creme eggs this Easter but my imagination wasn’t stretching much further than brownies. And, delicious as they’d undoubtedly be, I’m not sure the internet really needs another creme egg brownie recipe. Creme egg cookie cups, on the other hand – the internet Read Post
Homemade Hot Cross Buns
The last (and first) time I made any kind of bun was when I made these brioche burger buns. Appearance wise, they turned out pretty well – nice and round and fairly uniform. Unfortunately it seems that this success has gone to my head. I had visions of turning out perfect little homemade hot cross buns that would make bakers the world over green with Read Post
Mini Gingerbread Loaves
How cute are these mini gingerbread loaves? Almost too cute to eat. Almost. It’s basically a scientific fact* that anything in miniature looks and tastes about 5x better than full sized versions. Mainly because it’s totally justifiable to eat 5 in one go. They’re only little, after all… I made these mini gingerbread loaves for a charity bake sale at work a couple of weeks Read Post
Pancake Day: Homemade Crepes
This time of year is one of my favourites, food-wise. It’ll soon be Easter which means mini eggs, hot cross buns and malteaster bunnies. But first, Pancake Day! I’ve only just learned how to make homemade crepes. As luck would have it, they’re really easy and quick to whip up! The key to getting super thin crepes is swirling the batter around your pan as soon as Read Post
Strawberry Sugar Cookies
In case the numerous heart shaped boxes of chocolates and overpriced cards floating around hasn’t tipped you off, it’s Valentine’s Day this Saturday. Naturally, I couldn’t miss an opportunity to do some themed baking. I might not be into big soppy cards, but freshly baked strawberry sugar cookies are definitely something I can get behind! One of my very first (and favourite!) recipes was for ginger nut biscuits. Read Post
Nutella Frosted Coffee Cake
Uuh guys, can we just take a minute to appreciate the beauty of nutella frosting!? I can’t believe it’s taken me until now to make it, but this nutella frosted coffee cake is honestly incredible. Saturday was Ricky’s birthday so obviously I couldn’t let that pass without baking a ridiculously indulgent cake. His only request was that said cake involved nutella. Yep, that’s a request Read Post
