Cookies and Cream Cookies

I’m in Poland, its early morning and its -1 C outside. Way too cold for me! So I’ll be staying inside today. Maybe I’ll even bake something. But for now, I made you some yummy cookies. These cookies taste like cookies and cream. I’m not joking. Do you like cookies and cream ice cream? Do you like crushed up Oreo biscuits in smooth vanilla ice cream? Do you? I do. … Continue reading →

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am in Poland at the moment and I love it! I just spent a few days in Warsaw visiting my grandma and now we are in a little village where my mum grew up, hanging out with the whole family and eating! Expect a post about Polish pastries soon. Before I left Melbourne, I bought myself a new camera. It is a Canon 550D (Rebel T2i) and I am … Continue reading →

French Pastries

So yesterday in Paris, Mum and I didn’t actually eat any proper food. We ate pastries. We walked around Paris for about ten hours (so I guess we burnt it all off!) and every time I saw a patisserie I made her stop so we could go inside and every time she saw a cute cafe she made me stop so she could have a cafe creme. We went to … Continue reading →

Lemon Tartlets

I am in Paris! It is beautiful! The weather is lovely, the streets are beautiful, the French Onion Soup is delicious and the Pain au Chocolat are absolutely to die for. TO DIE FOR. We have a huge day of walking, sightseeing, shopping and croissant-eating ahead so more about Paris later. For now, we have lemon tartlets. I really like lemon tart. I like lemon tartlets, lemon coconut bars, lemon … Continue reading →

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

So I am leaving for Europe today! One last post before I finish packing my bags and fly early this evening. I’m not sure if I will have the time or internet to update as regularly, but I do have some posts lined up so you will be hearing from me soon. And hopefully while I’m gone I can post up some photos of croissants, Christmas markets, snow and Polish … Continue reading →

Sweet Cherry Galette

It’s spring outside, here in the southern hemisphere. The weather is getting warmer, the sun is actually shining, flowers are blooming and the days are getting longer as we head into summer. With spring comes delicious fruit! Cherry season has just begun here in Melbourne. Unfortunately, cherries are not at their best yet. The ones I bought yesterday were actually pretty bland. And not very juicy. Or sweet. So I … Continue reading →

Traditional Apple Pie

I have blogged about a lot of apple pies in this little blog’s short existence. There have been little apple pies, toffee apple pie bars and Polish apple crumble pie, but no classic pie. Which is strange, because traditional apple pie is something I have made for years. I love this pie. To me, it is perfect. And a pie-loving girlfriend was coming over for coffee, so I thought I’d … Continue reading →

Vanilla Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are so nice and simple. It’s easy to get swept away in Nutella cookie cups, cookies and cream bars and Oreo chocolate chunk cookies. These things are all super delicious, but sometimes it’s nice to get back down to basics. This is one of those times. Although these vanilla oatmeal cookies are simple, they are by no means boring. They are thick, soft and chewy. They have texture … Continue reading →

Nutella Cookie Bars

Nutella and I are old friends. We go way back. For as long as I can remember, there has been a jar of Nutella in the pantry at my house. My family has long shared germs as we pass the Nutella jar around and we each eat it with a spoon with the milk bottle nearby. When I was young, my mum would put those little individual packets of Nutella … Continue reading →

Cookies and Cream Bars

Oreos have always been really popular in my household. Cookies are a definite hit too. And combining the two together here quickly resulted in lots of crumbs and no cookies. Delicious. So I thought I’d take some vanilla cookie dough and layer it up with Oreos. Yeah. The thing about bars, is that because they are so big (compared to a cookie), they tend to be much chewier and gooeyer, … Continue reading →
