OH HEYYY! You probably already know that THE SUGAR HIT cookbook is coming out this year in September. In fact, you can pre-order it! (Amazon – Book Depository – Booktopia – Dymocks – Barnes and Noble) And I will…
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…
When it comes to comfort food, potatoes are king. That filthy, dirt covered tuber that we of Irish descent (and pretty much everyone else) seem genetically disposed to adore – it just can’t be beat. As Nora Ephron said,…
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…
5am is a hell of a time. It’s dark, it’s cold, it’s about five hours prior to when I would prefer to get out of bed. But it was at 5am that I found myself at Folk in Byron…
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…
WHAT A WEEK! I know I’ve been light on the recipes this one, pals! And I’m sorry, but I have had some hectic, crazy times with a lot of freelance fun. I was down in beautiful Byron Bay…
What a way to make a living! Boy, Dolly Parton was right. And I know, because I used to work 9 to 5. But lucky for me, that’s not my life anymore. It’s more like working literally every hour…
Is there anything more fun than dragging your ass out of bed at 6:00am on a Saturday to go and hit up a farmer’s market? Arguably, yes. I’m not a morning person! But once I get to the…
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…
