‘That Candy Bar’ Cupcakes

Big-ass Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
byThese cookies are exactly what they say they are. BIG ASS DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES. They’re old school, and I love it. Just a big fat cookie, full of peanutty flavour and plenty of melting dark chocolate….
Sweet Potato Sticky Buns

Churros with Salty Peanut Sugar
byChurros! Are churros over? I feel like they were huge for a while there, maybe a year ago, but they seem to have disappeared since then. They’ll always have a place in my heart, I can tell you…
Blackberry Jam & Custard Donuts
byWhoever invented doughnuts, it’s fair to say, is a genius. The truth is that we will probably never know the identity of this pioneer. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to honour their memory frequently, by frying up…
Apple Pie Granola
bySo 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…
French Apple, Vanilla & Rum Cake

Chocolate & Raspberry Muffins
byA muffin, to me is a little bundle of home. A homey, sturdy little cake, usually studded with fruit, and absolutely at its apogee when still warm from the oven. If I’m in need of the comfort that…
Apple Tarte Tatin Turnovers
byRaise 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…

Hot Cross Donuts

Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake

Blueberry Vanilla Bread
byCheck 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,…
Salted Caramel & Macadamia Pull-Apart Bread

Peanut Butter Fudge
byFudge! Hallelujah, everybody! We live in a world where fudge exists! If that doesn’t make you want to stand up and do the traditional celebratory dance of your people, then I don’t know what will. Even…
Chocolate Cinnamon & Orange Pasteis De Nata

Chocolate Prune Cake with Pedro Ximinez
byThis 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…
Monkey Bread with Orange & Smoke
byCool 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…
