Sometimes it’s fun to abandon all recipe-naming restraint. Just put all of the possible words that you can into the title. This time it was six. Count ’em: frozen, nutella, cheesecake, ice cream, pie. Yes I count ice…
Shortcakes! They are (from what I understand) kind of a big deal in the States. People argue about what makes a real shortcake, and is it a cake, or is it a biscuit (which Aussies would call scones), or…
Here’s a secret for you – I used to HATE passionfruit. With a furious passion. The same passion with which I currently hate kiwi fruit (I love kiwi people, just can’t stand those weird fuzzy egg-shaped fruits with their…
Hyperbole? YUP. Flipping amazing cookies? You got it, mama. Crunchy oat base, a thick, chewy pile of salted caramel and peanuts, and a slick of glossy black chocolate. These are my dream cookie. My $5 cookie. They’re ridiculously…
WAFFLES! I have a waffle compulsion – I just can’t let more than a few weeks go by without hitting the kitchen and testing out a new waffle idea. And this is one of my best! Instead of…
Sometimes you put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up. And sometimes it’s autumn and that just doesn’t really seem like a viable option. On those occasions, may I suggest a semifreddo? Obviously this would…
How does this sound? You’re a young food journalist, you live in London, you jet all over the world writing about food, you’ve just published your first cookbook (it’s a cracker), and the idea for this gorgeous jelly was…
Steamed Pudding – that either sounds completely homey and comfortable to you, or totally strange and foreign. I get it. To me, though I can’t say I’ve even eaten that many of them, Steamed Puddings are a cosy delight….
Bread is my kryptonite. Well, bread and pie….and donuts…and fries… My kryptonite is carbs, let’s be real. So when I want to really fall off the healthy-eating wagon (which, although the evidence suggests otherwise, I am on) I make…
Every time I start writing this post I get completely distracted watching Hey USA. It’s just a great show, you guys. You should all watch it, so we can talk about it. I will give you donuts. Specifically,…
It’s not a secret, but man I love pie. I am just crazy about it. It’s the best dessert in my opinion. Obviously, I welcome all desserts. Even cookies. But if there’s one, proper dessert-dessert that is my complete…
It’s Wednesday, and what better day of the week could there be for a GIANT COOKIE! And not just any giant cookie – a deeply, smokily chocolate cookie studded with chunks of crunchy, chewy peanut brittle. Excuse me…
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…
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! 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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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….
