Hot Cross Donuts
I did it! I finally did it! I couldn’t stand letting another year go by without finding out what would happen if you deep fried a hot cross bun. You know, I’m really kicking myself for waiting this…
The One and Only, Meatball Sub
I went to a launch the other day. A fancy, adults only style event. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you might have seen some of tweets and pictures about it already. It was the launch…
The Best Sticky Date Pudding
Oh sweet nectar of the gods. Sweet delicious river of molten sugar, butter and cream. How could anyone call you bad? How could anyone ever look upon the glory of the Stick Date Pudding, swathed as it is…
Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake
Isn’t it crazy how you can be nostalgic for something that you’ve never even had? For example, I have spent far too many hours of my life thinking about what my exact plan of action would be if…
Never Fail French Toast
French toast, french toast, french toast. Is there anything we don’t love about you? Nope. You’re buttery. You’re custardy. You’re breakfast, you’re dessert, you’re delicious. We love everything about you. But, but…when you’re bad…it’s really…
Blueberry Vanilla Bread
Check that bread out. Looks good, doesn’t it? I like baking things that look impressive, but I LOVE baking things that taste even BETTER than they look. And this bread has got it. This bread is like Hansel,…
Corn & Scallion Belgian Waffles
Sometimes inspiration just strikes. Like when you’re driving to the greengrocer to pick up your fruit and vegetables for the week, sure and certain that today you will be making a Bavarian Cream Pie. It was written in…
Sticky Date Granola
Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks making your own cereal is like magic? There’s something about all those boxes of cereal at the grocery store that says ‘you definitely can’t make me at home’. I’m looking…
Racuszki! {Yeasted Polish Pancakes}
I am a huge fan of Eastern European cooking. I think it comes from the fact that I live in a hot country, so the freezing weather and snow have always drawn my attention. Of course, being food…
Sea Salt & Poppy Seed Bagels
Sea Salt and Poppy Seed Bagels! Somehow that sounds kind of elegant and grown up, doesn’t it? I think it’s the sea salt. That’s the international ingredient for sophistication. Remember when we used to put salt on things, and…
Peanut Butter Fudge Ice Cream Sandwiches
Hello again, everyone. Were you here last Friday? We talked about the blogging community and how much I love it. There were so many kick ass comments on that piece, proving once again that bloggers and people who read…
Salted Caramel & Macadamia Pull-Apart Bread
Communities are a funny thing. They spring up in all sorts of places. No two communities ever look the same. And I think we can all agree that generally a community is a positive thing. I don’t think anyone…
Peanut Butter Fudge
Fudge! Hallelujah, everybody! We live in a world where fudge exists! If that doesn’t make you want to stand up and do the traditional celebratory dance of your people, then I don’t know what will. Even…
Cinnamon, Marmalade & Brioche Sundaes!
To begin this post, I would like to give a shout out to the lovely Claire from Things We Make. This recipe, featuring that most British of ingredients, Marmalade, reminds me of her because it, like her, is awesome….
Chocolate Cinnamon & Orange Pasteis De Nata
Disclaimer alert! These aren’t ~real~ pasteis de nata. Those heavenly little Portuguese custard tarts, with their blistered tops that you dust with cinnamon and sugar. I’m pretty sure those require a special tin, and a very complicated pastry technique,…
Beetroot Tart with Spring Onion Vinaigrette and Vintage Cheddar
This is what my boyfriend described as ‘a very adult dish’. By that he means that it’s SEXY, right? Like, XXX adults only? Oh…no. No, he means that it’s sophisticated. For adult tastes. Weeeelll, he may have a…
Super Swirly Cinnamon Buns
Hey everyone! It’s such a relief to talk to you guys. The rest of the world can be a drag sometimes, you know? Not everyone understands the importance of cinnamon buns. I could talk cinnamon buns endlessly. Do…
10 Awesome Books I Think You’ll LOVE
A Curious Invitation: The Forty Greatest Parties in Fiction. Isn’t this such a great idea for a book? I read about it in this post on Design Sponge, and now I can’t stop thinking about it. For each of…
Apple Fritters with Salted Caramel
Inspiration strikes in crazy and unexpected ways. Because get this: I had literally never even thought about apple fritters a week ago. A week ago, if you had said to me, ‘Hey Sarah, you bodacious babe, why no…
Chocolate Prune Cake with Pedro Ximinez
This cake is an enigma. Whatever you think it is, that’s what it’s not. Is it a loaf cake? It’s certainly shaped like one, but it’s texture is soft and fudgy. Is it a brownie, then? Hmm, it’s chocolatey…
Giant Blueberry Pancake Cake
If there’s one thing I could never be accused of, it’s not properly celebrating Pancake Day. I take great joy in pancake day. I feel like it’s a time when, no matter what your background or creed, we…
