KITCHEN FAILS!
Let’s talk about fails, baby. Kitchen fails. I got ’em. Maybe you got ’em? I think I got a lot of ’em. This whole ‘recipe development’ bidness ain’t always a bed of roses. Unsurprisingly, it is a lot of…
Hazelnut & Oat Pancakes
OH MAN. What a Friday I’m having. It’s absolutely pouring rain. I had a meeting to go to this morning (super exciting project coming soon!) but on the way there, a gentleman ran into my car! So that was…
Mulberry Ice Cream
There are not nearly enough purple foods. It’s such an enticing colour. It’s why grape-flavoured things seem so awesome (and often are). Ice cream is no exception to this rule. Just as I was drawn to the ‘rainbow’ flavoured…
Simple Lemon Loaf
So, my phone exploded the other day. There I was, casually sitting on my couch, watching an episode of one of Jamie Oliver’s old shows and eating some hazelnuts that I scrounged from the back of my cupboard (classy…
Peanut Brittle Blondie Pie
Oh man, this is the pie you make for those unapologetically sugar-fuelled weekend nights. This is time for boardgames, and backwards caps, and twinkle lights. Bust out Ghostbusters I and II, and strap yourself in for a hella good…
Mulberry Meringue Mess
Mulberry Meringue Mess! Or mmm, as I call it, due to alliteration and deliciousness. I freaking love mulberries, so much so that I planted a mulberry tree in my backyard. Best.decision.ever. If you are without your own personal…
Brownie Cake with Rose Persian Fairy Floss + Strawberries
FUN! This gooey brownie, topped with rose-scented fairy floss and strawberries is all about the fun. It’s fun to make, fun to look at, so fun to eat. I’m completely smitten with it, and what’s more it really…
Kinda Healthy, Very Inexpensive Loaded Veggie Nachos!
Nachos are such good time food, aren’t they? Nobody ever makes sadness nachos or angst nachos. And if they do then that is the worst thing I’ve ever heard. They should switch to a more sadness-appropriate food, like mashed…
Quick Belgian Waffles!
WAFFLES! One of my favourite foods of all time. Probably because I was denied them for so long (there is a serious waffle iron shortage in Australia, imho), I am now very passionate about waffles. And it’s my…
Salted Caramel Bourbon Apple Pie
Pie is a project. That ain’t no word of a lie. But this cowboy of a pie is worth it. I’ll be honest, I personally think all pie is worth it. This pie is next level though. Tart,…
Spiked Donut French Toast with Roasted Plums
For those days when your breakfast needs a little shot of dutch courage…I give you my Spiked Donut French Toast! It’s custardy, it’s crisp-edged, it’s coated in spiced sugar, and it’s spiked with a little bit o’ rum. …
The Slutty Frenchman
The Slutty Frenchman is no joke. Let me lay it out for y’all to play it out; sliced, smoky ham, melty gruyere, oozy fried egg, crisp spring onions and a slick of sriracha mayo on a soft, white bun….
Milk Chocolate Malted Mousse
Let’s get old school. Milk chocolate, yo. Is it having a renaissance? I know there was a long time there when milk chocolate was persona non grata amongst food lovers. Now I feel like it’s creeping back in (just…
Chocolate Overload! 12 ways to bring the chocolate this weekend.
It has been an absolutely huge, exciting, rollercoaster of a week for me! The Saveur nomination (vote here for meeee!), finally getting to share the big news with you (check out the video here) about The Sugar Hit Book…
EPIC HUGE SURPRISE NEWS!
If you follow me on Instagram you probably already know that I’ve been nominated in the Baking & Desserts Category of the Saveur Food Blog Awards – which is totally amazing, (and I’ll love you forever if you click here…
Lemon & Blueberry Ice Cream Floats
You know how I’m on a one-girl mission to bring back Floats? Well, the mission continues with this Lemon & Blueberry number! Zangy, just sweetened blueberry and lemon syrup, topped with lush vanilla ice cream, and fizzy water. FOR….
Donut Muffins with Cherry Jam & Scandi Sugar
Let me lay a muffin on you, this fine Friday. It’s maybe the one time in my life that I’ll declare something ‘as good as a donut’, when the thing is not actually a donut. You see, to…
Hazelnut & Vanilla Crumble with Peaches and Blueberries
If you’re used to crumble that is on the hook, get excited, because this one is totally off it. It’s a typically buttery crunchy crumble topping, studded generously with hazelnuts, plenty of whole rolled oats, and scented not with…
Hush Puppies with Corn and Scallions!
Why not start the week off right with a little deep fried goodness? There is no better way to end a Monday than with a cold beer, and a pile of deep fried, sweet corn studded nuggets of cornmeal…
Pecan Pancakes with Vanilla Maple Caramel
Never not putting pecans in my pancakes again. Now THAT is a fun sentence to say, it’s got a double negative, and some sassy alliteration. If that’s not wild Friday night party linguistics, then I don’t know what is….
Brown Butter Chocolate Malted Cookies
I’m on a brown butter bender. I can’t stahp with the brown butter blondies and the brown butter buns, and now these Brown Butter Chocolate Malted Cookies. It would be a problem if it weren’t so awesome. The…
