I first tasted real alfajores while holidaying through Spain and Portugal last year. Even though I’d made alfajores before, these were different. They had some spice to them, and upon asking the bakery I found them at, pisco and cinnamon in the cookie dough. These alfajores were the best I’d ever tasted.
I have become *obsessed* with brown butter. I’ve been putting brown butter into everything from gnocchi, to cakes, to this insanely simple and delicious brown butter banana bread.
If I could only have one snack for the rest of my days, it might just be this tahini banana bread. I cannot explain how DELICIOUS and soft and morish and just utterly scrumptious it is!!
This cake is so gorgeous. Two of my favourite flavours combined. The sweet, honey-like figs with their oozy, soft texture and the earthy, buttery flavour from the ground hazelnuts is heaven together.
Whenever we have dinner parties, this is the cake Isaac makes. It’s his specialty and he has been perfecting it for a few years now since finding a very basic baked cheesecake recipe in an old magazine that he ripped out and stuck into his own personal cookbook that now has alterations and changes and scribbles all over it.
This week’s new recipe is a gooden! An easy peasy sheet cookie that uses literally just a handful of pantry ingredients so you can whip it up anytime!
This basic muffin recipe is such an easy one to whip up. It uses just a handful of ingredients that I usually have floating around in the pantry and fridge and you can add whatever berry you like to them.
This week I went apple picking with Montague for the launch of their new apple, Smitten. It was the first cold Melbourne morning we had had in ages, probably since last Spring really but I got up, drove the hour to the orchard then wound up on a dirt road that had a sign for apples at the start of it.
This year was a bit of a slower start than normal for me. It was pretty busy after Christmas getting my re-brand all set for January 1st and putting the finishing touches on my free eCookbook which you can download here
As you guys probably know, I absolutely love enjoying a hot drink throughout the day, and
have a huge collection of teas that I pick up from all over the place, whether it be while I’m
travelling or just ducking into my local supermarket.
I remember getting a totally delicious coffee, date and walnut loaf from my local bakery when I was in primary school.
You guys are going crazy for this recipe on insta so I thought I'd better get it up and running quick-smart after my walk tonight!
Happy new year everyone! I'm back in the kitchen again and as you guys saw on Instagram today, I was getting my bake on and preparing lots of snacks including this healthy honey and oat banana bread for the week ahead.
I thought I'd best put the recipe for this delicious morsels here so you guys can always refer back to it for Christmases to come!
As you may have guessed, I love shortbread biscuits as Christmas time! They're delicious, buttery, crumbly and perfect to take along to work for your office Christmas party or package up as little gifts!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I for one cannot wait! It's my favourite time of year. Lots of cooking, and getting together with friends. Plus Michael Buble's Christmas album and 'Love Actually'. And decorating. There's literally nothing I don't LOVE about the festive season.
In case you needed any extra help getting through this crabby Melbourne week, I've got you sorted with these incredible chocolate fudge zucchini brownies. They are ridiculously good and fudgey. So fudgey that when you bite into the brownies, it gets stuck to your front teeth and you look slightly crazy if anyone sees you smile! They're THAT good.
What's a birthday without cake right? Not a birthday at all I say!
I make my famous chocolate cake every year but this year I put a twist on the classic, pomegranate! It might sound strange but the slight sourness that pomegranate molasses has compliments the bitterness of dark chocolate so well. A total flavour bomb. Especially when you go all out like I have (well it is a birthday weekend!) with whipped cream and ganache frosting...heaven!
Focaccia forever amiright?! This focaccia is SO good, like you need to make this stat! So chewy and salty and morish and just so damn good.
It's August already! Where has the time gone?! It's been six weeks since moving house now, and we are hopefully inching closer to finding our own little house but for now, Isaac, Frankie and I are living with his parents. Frankie is so brave with their dog, Harper, a labradoodle. I hope they become best friends soon because it'd be so cute and it would make my life easier not having to monitor them together all the time!
