Sometimes it’s fun to abandon all recipe-naming restraint. Just put all of the possible words that you can into the title. This time it was six. Count ’em: frozen, nutella, cheesecake, ice cream, pie. Yes I count ice…
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…
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…
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….
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
Let’s get old school. Milk chocolate, yo. Is it having a renaissance? I know there was a long time there when milk chocolate was persona non grata amongst food lovers. Now I feel like it’s creeping back in (just…
It has been an absolutely huge, exciting, rollercoaster of a week for me! The Saveur nomination (vote here for meeee!), finally getting to share the big news with you (check out the video here) about The Sugar Hit Book…
If you’re used to crumble that is on the hook, get excited, because this one is totally off it. It’s a typically buttery crunchy crumble topping, studded generously with hazelnuts, plenty of whole rolled oats, and scented not with…
This is my recipe for the BEST hot fudge. Now, that’s my opinion, and I have very specific hot fudge requirements. Firstly, no ganache. There is a time and a place for that thick, rich, unguent, but on my…
Cake and flowers. Flowers and cake…it’s a match made in heaven. And it’s made even more fun when you get to work not only with one of your coolest friends, but when they happen to be talented, creative AND…
First thang’s first – this pie is amazing. The crust is so far beyond delicious that a word hasn’t even been invented yet to describe how good it tastes. UH-MAZING. And the filling has three ingredients, stirs together in…
First thing’s first – the Valentine’s Day giveaway is over! Winners have each been contacted individually and thank you to everyone who entered. And now, onto this sticky, chewy, chocolate-y mud pie of a cake. Because even…
WELL HELLO THERE easy, impressive weekend dessert! This is my summer fruit jam-a-lam. There may be nothing better than a heat-kissed peach, and a big scoop of milky vanilla ice cream. But if there’s one thing that can…
Here we are! Another Monday has rolled around, and it’s time for the first installment of International Eats! Street Food Monday was so much fun, butI kind of wanted to expand on the theme to include all kinds of…
Do you want to come and visit my cabin on Gingerbread mountain? Psych you guys, it’s not really a mountain it’s a cake! A bundt cake. The most casual kind of cake. There’s something about the hole in the…
