Little Sour Cherry Pies

The life of a food blogger. These came out of the oven at 11 o’clock last night. Late, I know. The cherry filling was bubbling. It looked like their little pie hearts were pumping, and all the juices were bleeding out. My dad pulled one out of the tray and wolfed it down while it was piping hot. Which was weird, because he hardly ever eats the things I bake … Continue reading →


Nutella and Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

I clearly have chocolate chip cookies on the brain. We all know I am obsessed with them. Now that we have accepted that fact, lets move on. I really loved these chocolate chip cookie pots because they baked up thicker chocolate chip cookies. The thicker the cookies, the chewier and the gooeyer they are. Yum. So when I saw a similar idea for Nutella cookie cups on Barbara Bakes , … Continue reading →


Easy Pancakes

This is my go-to pancake recipe. It’s quick, its easy and it makes big, thick, fluffy pancakes. It’s nothing fancy – there’s no beating egg whites, no folding, no buttermilk, no refrigeration. You just mix, cook and eat. See? Easy pancakes. This is the recipe I always whip up when I’m craving pancakes. This is the one I make as an after-school snack for my brother. Sometimes I make it … Continue reading →


Wholegrain Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am having a love affair with chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip cookies and I make a good pair. We get along. They make me happy. They satisfy my cravings. And they pack some extra insulation into my hips and butt to keep me warm during winter. Anyway. I like love chocolate chip cookies so much that I’m always on the lookout for new variations to make. Because I bake … Continue reading →


Strawberry Crumble Pie

How did I not get onto strawberry pie sooner? HOW? How have I been missing out on this delicousness all my life? Ever since making these tarts, I have had strawberries on the brain. I wanted to make strawberry pie. And I wanted to make strawberry crumble. And I didn’t know which one I should make first. Before I had time to decide, I saw a recipe for Strawberry Skillet … Continue reading →


Oreo Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I have to be honest.  When I first saw these cookies on Bakergirl, I was a little skeptical. They are chocolate chip cookies with Oreo chunks in them. This photo makes them look deliciously chewy and gooey, but I was worried about what Oreos would do to their texture. I thought they might make the cookies annoyingly crunchy just in certain parts, like nuts do. But I needn’t have worried. … Continue reading →


Cookie Dough Truffles

Some time a go, a girlfriend of mine sent me a link to a cookie dough truffle recipe. I saw that as a hint and although it took me a while, I made them for her. I have enjoyed eating raw dough since I was a little girl. I used to snatch as much dough as I could when my mum used to make apple pie. Then I would beg … Continue reading →


Blueberry Crostata

My family loved these rustic strawberry tarts so much that I was begged to make them again. So I thought I’d try them out with blueberries instead. They were just as good. I love crostata, rustic tarts, freeform tarts, galettes, whatever you want to call them (all the same thing, just different names). I love them because they are so quick and easy to make. I love them because the … Continue reading →


Chocolate Decadence Cookies

These cookies turned out looking nothing like the original recipe. The original chocolate decadence cookies are thick and chunky and kinda lumpy looking. Mine are flat and thin like wafers. But boy are they good. They taste like brownies. They are chewy and fudgy and chocolatey. They even have the same crackly, flaky top as brownies. They could even be better than brownies. Big claim, I know. They taste like … Continue reading →


Baked Pancake with Caramelized Apple and Pear

I am a pancake fan. I grew up on my mum’s crepes, which we used to eat with Nutella and whipped cream. And my grandma’s pancakes which my cousins and I would fight over and slather with golden syrup or lemon and sugar. When I was old enough to start cooking, I learned how to make buttermilk pancakes. And drop scones. I bough real maple syrup and found a fantastic … Continue reading →
