This week I’m sharing my recipe for the perfect dessert this festive season – easy and delicious individual vanilla bean and mango pavlovas with macadamias. They are so simple to put together and, in this recipe, I’ll show you my method for only using two ingredients, egg whites and sugar, to make the best meringue.
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.
Today on the blog I am sharing a delicious and very easy passionfruit slice recipe. A gorgeous buttery biscuit bottom and a sweet and slightly tart creamy passionfruit icing on top.
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.
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 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 cake reminds me of an old school vanilla tea cake, but WAY better! The process of ‘burning’ the butter is well worth the little bit of extra effort because the flavour just shines through each bite in this cake.
I'm not going to lie, I have eaten SO many of these salted coconut bars lately. It's like heaven in a bite. They are just like healthy bounty bars but ten times better if you ask me. The coconut filling actually tastes like a coconut pudding with lots of texture and a subtle sweetness.
Strawberries and cream are such a dream. I love dunking fresh and fragrant strawberries through a big pool of just-whipped vanilla cream. And I wanted to translate these flavours over into a plant-based version so everyone could experience the yumminess!
Did you know that more than 3.8 million Australians skip lunch thinking they will get more done? But by 12pm blood sugar levels begin to drop leaving you feeling tired and having trouble concentrating. Taking a few minutes for a light lunch helps to re-fuel your body and get you ready to take on the afternoon. Good choices for lunch are quality carbohydrates, protein, good fats and some vegetables or fruit.
I've always been one to pick zesty flavours over caramel/chocolate flavours because I find them super flavoursome and generally not as sweet. I always love enjoying a raw slice but they always have dates in them but I am actually sorbitol-intolerant and dates have a pretty large chunk of sorbitol in them. So to save looking 6 months pregnant after a coffee and cake date, I always end up going to something else.
Summer time and Christmas go hand-in-hand in Australia and I love nothing better than a good pav during the warm, festive season! I am so happy to be working with Pacific Epping on this gorgeous marbled berry pavlova, it's not too sweet and a little healthier than most <3
If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I've been sharing some of the recipes that are in the book but I thought it was high-time to give you guys a complete preview of what is included in From my Little Kitchen!
It's finally here! Pre-sale has begun on my very first recipe book - From my Little Kitchen: The Holiday Edition! I created this book with all of you in mind, and there are recipes for every taste and preference.
On the weekend I asked my mum and dad to take me to the snow for my birthday. Even though it's not until next week it was the only day everyone could line up to be free. It's so funny how hard it is to organise 6 people when they all have different lines of work or study. So after I organised what seemed like a military-like operation to get the fam together, and we headed off to Lake Mountain near Marysville in Victoria. It's not very far from the city at all really, barely 2 hours. We got our snow gear and toboggans - the super quick 'carve' toboggans no less and parked the car.
Recently I enjoyed a morning with Nespresso to learn about morning rituals and how to choose the perfect coffee for my morning with the help of Nespresso Coffee Ambassador Mitch Monaghan, and superstar journalist, Paula Joye.
Go nuts for gluten free doughnuts! These little babies are so easy to make, vegan and a one-bowl wonder.
So as it turns out, it's not just me who loves lemon cakes! You guys had so much positive feedback that I thought I'd post the recipe for this zesty lemon buttermilk loaf here for you all to find :)
Carrot and walnut cake has always been a favourite of mine and it seems after last week's cake post, you guys love it too! I got down to business pretty quickly on this one because I had a massive hankering for carrot and walnut cake after we had been chatting about it.
My local cafe bakes a dozen fresh muffins from scratch everyday single morning. sometimes there's apple and cinnamon, mixed berry, lemon curd, vanilla cream..and then last week they had hot jam duffins.
