It’s a PUMPKIN PARTAYYYYY. I’m posting these Pumpkin Everything Bagels as part of a HUGE pumpkin celebration with a bunch of other bloggers – scroll down for all their links! And honestly? I’m the most low key person ever,…
This no-knead dough is so delicious, you’re going to want to make a sleeping bag out of it. And I just might. And then I’m gonna make a pillow out of that glaze and go to sleep in a…
SALT. Is there anything it can’t do? It brings out the sweetness of these peaches, and the fragrance of this vanilla like nothing else. Each bite is like sitting on an Italian beach, with the Mediterranean sun beating down…
ROLLS! I am not the first person to say this, and I doubt I will be the last, but dammit if bread is not the most important of all the thanksgiving sides. And that bread? It’s gotta be a…
Are you tired of having to choose between brownies and cinnamon buns? Because I sure as heck was…until today. Indecisive pastry-choosers rejoice! For the agony of our indecision is over! I give you, the Pecan Brownie Bun! Yup,…
I got my first ass-kicking over a recipe today! You remember my Swedish Dream Cake? Turns out that it’s actually a Danish Dream Cake. Not Swedish at all. I thought it was Swedish, because I heard about the recipe…
It was my birthday yesterday, as I’m sure you all probably know (I wasn’t exactly subtle about it), and I had such an awesome day. I had lunch with my sister, dinner with my mum and dad and breakfast…
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…
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…
Here’s a little trivia for ya; in Australia, Winter is Strawberry season. Also, Christmas is in the middle of Summer. And we ride Kangaroos to school, but that’s another story for another time. So, whilst we unfortunately miss…
These sticky buns are the business. And you know that when I say that, I do not lie. The not-secret, but totally magical ingredient is sweet potato. This was a hard-sell for me, because the gentleman…
I love traditions; any little thing that has a history. I don’t care if you just started it yesterday, or if your family has been doing it for generations, I just love to hear about people’s traditions. I’ve…
More than anything else, this blog is about the way that I eat. Because I think I am a pretty typical person – not a lot of money, no huge family, still making my way in the world, and…
English muffins have been my favourite breakfast since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. And more specifically, I like a wholemeal English muffin. I know a lot of people may well disagree with me on this, but I…
Check 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,…
Sea Salt and Poppy Seed Bagels! Somehow that sounds kind of elegant and grown up, doesn’t it? I think it’s the sea salt. That’s the international ingredient for sophistication. Remember when we used to put salt on things, and…
Communities are a funny thing. They spring up in all sorts of places. No two communities ever look the same. And I think we can all agree that generally a community is a positive thing. I don’t think anyone…
Grilled cheese? Is that the right title? Toasted cheese, cheese on toast? Call it whatever you want. Don’t call it anything, even. But get it into your life. Because this is the best damn grilled cheese I’ve ever had….
Let me blow your mind for a second: I have not purchased a loaf of bread since the beginning of 2014. WHAAAAAAAAT? Yep. My manfriend and I have been making all our bread from scratch! That no-knead bread…
What’s up, Christmas morning?? Please meet my latest addition to the little traditions that my man-friend and I are building up. So far we have one for valentines day (do nothing), one for birthdays (fancy french restaurants), and…
Last minute Thanksgiving recipes comin’ at ya! Yep. I decided (at the last minute) to celebrate Thanksgiving. Am I in the US? Nope. Am I from the US? Nope. Am I Canadian? Nope. Is there any cultural reason…
