Why is it epic? Well, it’s a crunchy/doughy English Muffin slathered with sweet and sharp cheat’s chutney, stuffed with a crispy, golden potato rösti, some smoky bacon and a runny fried egg. Does that answer your question? …
So it seems I’ve developed a new sneaky habit. I can’t stop turning desserts into breakfast. Remember this Sticky Date Granola? Well, I’m at it again. Please meet Apple Pie Granola. It tastes exactly like what an apple…
I miss this pancake. I ache for this pancake. It was so freaking tasty that every minute I spend not eating it seems like wasted time. That’s a little hyperbolic of me. But please understand that my hyperbole…
Did you know there are two pancake days every year? It’s funny, everyone knows about the first one – also known as Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras, Pancake Tuesday, etc., etc. – but no-one ever mentions the second pancake…
I love traditions; any little thing that has a history. I don’t care if you just started it yesterday, or if your family has been doing it for generations, I just love to hear about people’s traditions. I’ve…
Raise your hand if you ever wanted to run away and live in France. Have you got your hand raised? Me too. What is it about those Gallic folks, and their beautiful Medieval cities, that makes me want…
English muffins have been my favourite breakfast since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. And more specifically, I like a wholemeal English muffin. I know a lot of people may well disagree with me on this, but I…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Cool recipe title, right? Of course, that’s not the point. The point is that brown sugar, yeasty bread, cinnamon, and orange have a new best friend. And that best friend is a hint of smoke. It’s subtle, not…
Summer’s coming to a close here in Australia, you guys! And I have to say, I am not personally going to miss it that much. I don’t do so great in the heat. When it’s so hot that…
You’re on a sun drenched balcony overlooking the glittering Mediterranean sea. There’s a light, cool breeze coming in off the sea, all the way from Northern Africa. On the table in front of you sits a tall glass of…
This is a leisurely breakfast. This breakfast is like listening to one of your favourite musicians do acoustic cover versions of classic songs. Just relaxed, awesome, totally without stress or tension, and bloody good fun. It’s…
