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…
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…
Never not putting pecans in my pancakes again. Now THAT is a fun sentence to say, it’s got a double negative, and some sassy alliteration. If that’s not wild Friday night party linguistics, then I don’t know what is….
Guess what day tomorrow is, homies? FAT TUESDAY! AKA Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Tuesday, Fasnacht, Mardi Gras and about a billion other names. Today, Fat Tuesday is celebrated in the Christian tradition as the last day before Lent, and therefore…
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…
It’s Day #4 of Cookie Week, and we’re nearing the end of this sugar-and-butter-fuelled ride. Today, I’m sharing a beautifully light, utterly Christmassy, Coconut Snow Ball cookie! These are so easy to put together, perfect for doing with…
Hey, what’s up? OH NOTHING, JUST PIE. Said no-one ever. Because pie is a big deal. There is no such thing as ‘just’ pie. Pie is major-league. And coming just behind apple pie in the lexicon of great pies,…
Scone time! Scones are so underrated. They are the hard-worker of the pastry world. They’ll carry any flavour, you can knock them up in no time, they’re pretty hard to screw up, and when they’re fresh and warm out…
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the internet’s oat cookie game is STRONG right now. I feel like I’ve had awesome looking oat cookies flying at me from every angle. Honestly? I liked it. The first little…
We’re in very delicious territory here, friends. I absolutely love Tarte Tatin. Give me apple, peach, apricot, pineapple, anything and I will happily cook it in caramel, top it with pastry and then bake it. But my new…
Sweden! Hands up if you’re as obsessed with Scandinavia as I am? Anyone? In Scandi countries, they have this thing called a ‘cake table’. And it is basically the afternoon tea of my dreams. You invite all your…
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 no secret that I love an ice cream float! I just think they’re so underrated. Floats so often get shortchanged; cheap vanilla ice cream and a dodgy can of soda does not make for an amazing dessert. …
I would like you to meet my new favourite waffle. His name is Fritz. Just kidding, it’s not just one Waffle that I’ve given a name to and carry around with me a la Wilson from Castaway (can you…
Did I ever tell you guys that I went to France when I was 15? Yes I am officially one of the 6 luckiest people in the world and I have my extremely generous parents to thank for that….
There is something so old school sexy about praline. It seems so luxurious to me – I remember hearing Nigella describe it once as ‘edible gold filings’. That was probably before the huge proliferation of actual gold being…
Have you ever heard that saying ‘the days are long but the years are short’? Did it ring true to you? Time seems to fly by, and yet each day we get up, cram in a thousand different…
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…
Because it’s Australia Day on Sunday, the 26th, I made you this epic MILO ICE CREAM CAKE! You: But Sarah, what is Milo? I’ve never heard of it before. You look great today by the way. I love…
You know how I know that you’re cool? Because we would eat this for breakfast together. Anyone who could eat rice pudding for breakfast, and get that it’s a totally acceptable breakfast food, is fine by me. And…
