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…
It’s Monday. Maybe we spent the whole weekend doing other things. Maybe we were laughing about this Pinterest article, I don’t know. One way or another we didn’t get around to thinking about the week ahead. Specifically, how we…
Here’s a question for you – would you rather be a showgirl in Vegas, or Paris? I’m in two minds over it. Topless dancing is topless dancing, and we’re talking about the fairly classy/non-sexual kind, like the Lido in…
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….
It’s. All. About. The. Frosting. I happen to love the cake also, but I’m not going to lie to the cake part, like heyyyyy you’re important too. I would never patronise carrot cake in that way. Carrot cake…
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,…
If you ever needed evidence that I suck at the whole ‘be a professional blogger’ game, then surely it’s the fact that I’m posting a recipe for a decadent breakfast the day after Mother’s day? What.Ever. I can’t…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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. …
