The Sugar Hit ethos is ‘kick-ass, totally delicious, sometimes unexpected and always amazing food that is reasonably simple and affordable’. And if that’s the ethos of this site, then this quick and easy Banh Mi recipe is pretty…
Brown sugar! How come you taste so good? (Rolling Stones, 1971). Now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s talk bread baking. How do you feel about working with yeast? I absolutely love it. I find any…
Is this cookie badass or what? Chunky dark chocolate, crunchy shards of pretzel, a healthy kick of salt. DAYUMMMM COOKIE. This cookie is like Sandy from Grease after she completely changes her personality. Or wait, it’s more like…
I’m hijacking Street Food Monday today with these epic burgers from Jessica Merchant’s new book Seriously Delish (you probably know her amazing blog How Sweet It Is) I mean sure, we could talk about how burgers are AWESOME street…
Blueberry Pie is what I imagine every cartoon pie cooling on a windowsill to taste like. It’s the exact right combination of pure, sweet berry flavour, and buttery, flaky crust that my childhood imagination conjured up and salivated over….
If those swirly, buttery, flaky, custardy, fruit filled spirals of deliciousness don’t convince you to make this, then I don’t know what will. Oh wait, the only other thing I can think of is if you don’t have a…
Here’s the truth. I ate this for breakfast. In Thailand, where this deliciously coconutty (and incidentally vegan and gluten-free) dessert hails from, this is more of a sweet snack. Honestly, though I would eat this at any time…
It’s not often that you get to whip something up in 15 minutes, without turning the oven on, and have it bring utter happiness and joy into your life AND you can serve it to your gluten intolerant friends….
Brownies might not be an all the time food, but they are definitely an anytime food. Seriously, name me a single time when a surprise brownie would not be welcomed. The only time I can think of is…
Hey Monday, stick this in your pipe and smoke it! Because that slightly smokey flavour is just what we’re after, thank you. Sticking it to Mondays is kind of the whole point of every Street Food Monday. But…
Sweet Lord of the donuts. These are the best. I probably shouldn’t say that, since I made them. But these are the damn best, you guys. When you take two of your favourite things in the entire world,…
Raise your hand if you’re a fan of Wes Anderson? OK. Now, raise your hand if you’re a fan of any movie that has a signature pastry? GREAT! I knew you guys would raise your hands. And because…
Fair warning, this is definitely a post for carnivores. But if you are a carnivore, strap yourself in. Let me introduce you to what I like to think of as Morocco’s answer to the U.S.A.’s Southern Barbecue. Mechoui…
You know what’s the best? BIRTHDAYS! And of course, you know the best part of birthdays is….CAKE! So this post is all about how to make an EPIC birthday cake. And by that I mean THE birthday cake,…
It’s become clear to me that most of my favourite things to eat are just ‘assembly jobs’. You know what I mean? Dishes which are just a pile of other, smaller delicious things. Take sandwiches, for instance; just a…
Before we discuss anything else, know that this souvlaki has immediately shot to the top of my favourite-blog-recipes-ever list. It’s that good. Let me break it down; super-juicy chargrilled chicken marinated in lemon and oregano, crispy oven-fries tossed…
You’ve heard of Liege Waffles. You’ve heard of Daim (Dime) Bars. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet; Daim Bar Waffles. These are straight up my favourite waffles of all time. The waffle dough is like a super-simple brioche, aka…
Are you familiar with the Bakewell, you beautiful genius? It’s a tart. A British tart, to be precise. And it’s hell-delicious. Think crumbly shortcrust pastry, a layer of jammy-fruit, and then a thick, almond-y, cake-y filling. A dollop of…
Please meet the most addictive food of all time…onion pakoras. They are crunchy, spice-rich, delicate, and hearty all at the same time. When you get to eat them fresh and crisp, straight out of bubbling oil, and dipped into…
This post is sponsored by Foodie.com, I hope you like it! Winter’s wrapping up where I am! Which, if I’m honest, bums me out. My dislike of hot weather is well documented. But I’m trying to do my best…
