So my friends and I are turning 30 this year. You have no idea how sick I felt writing that intro sentence. God damn it. Where has time gone and when did we stop being 19? First of my friends to turn 30 is Bronwen. I always refer to her as the groups canary. You … Continue reading CUSTARD PANCAKES
It might be a little bit of an eyeroll moment to make a cake that is crowned with a saffron infused glaze, but when you taste this, you will understand. I hate opening up recipes with disclaimers but I know how this world works and I know the internet shames recipes writers and their pre-recipe … Continue reading SAFFRON & ORANGE YOGURT CAKE
I’ve somehow managed to hoodwink myself into believing if something contains fruit, it’s a health food. This cake has raspberries in it, so it’s a fruit salad. Kay? Well when it tastes this good, the experience is worth the lie. God forgive us. The best thing about this cake, other than the fact it is … Continue reading RASPBERRY & ROSEWATER CAKE
I often get uncomfortable when food writers use words unnecessarily to describe food. I know we have a job to do, but some words are just uncalled for. Having said that, these brownies are dripping. I’ll say it again. Dripping. These brownies were requested when I visited my Mothers house a Sunday or two ago … Continue reading BURNT BUTTER BROWNIES WITH CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM GANACHE
So I recently got back from Vegas. Someone had to do it. I’ll also throw in that it was first class both ways, just in case you didn’t think I was enough of a bellend. Now it’s a few weeks later and my tan is holding on by the skin of its fingertips and I’m … Continue reading EASY WAFFLES
This is my standard banana bread template. Extra ingredients, enhanced flavours, different liquors – all of these can be toyed with as desired, but the basic template of my banana bread is this recipe. And if you enjoy banana bread, this could quite possible becomes yours too. Sure the addition of some boozy rum … Continue reading RUM & RAISIN BANANA BREAD WITH FAUXCLATE SPREAD
Have you ever made something ‘just because’ and then it turns out to be one of your favourite things ever? This is one of them for me. I was heading back home to my mother’s house for the day. The sun was burning hot and not only did I want to grease up like a … Continue reading ORANGE & BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE
You know when you’re trying your best to be good and healthy and virtuous and skinny but then like… Saturday morning pancakes are all you can think about from Monday to Friday? THAT. That feeling. It sucks. But luckily I have a recipe that addresses such a mood and leaves you still feeling good and … Continue reading BLUE POPPY SEED PANCAKES WITH SUMAC CHERRY SAUCE
I’m very cautious not to romanticise breakfast. Because from Monday to Friday, if you think I do anything more than eat toast or soaked oats with sleep in my eyes and an eyemask on my head while the dog judges me, you’d be wrong. I work a full time job. You can swivel if you … Continue reading TAHINI LEMON & PEANUT BREAKFAST BARS
When I made these on my Instastory I was dumbfounded by the amount of people who called me posh. I was literally like ‘You know it’s just jam on crumpets, right?’ doubled up with the fact I didn’t even make the crumpets myself? Anyway. Regardless – take it out of your mind that anything here … Continue reading CRUMPETS WITH HOT BLACKBERRY & BASIL JAM
