Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars

What are your favourite baked goods? Pies? Cakes? Iced cookies? Chewy cookies? Bars? Yeast pastries? Tarts? Buns? Bread? If you are a regular around here, you would probably be very well aware that my favourite sweet thing to eat in the whole wide world is chocolate chip cookies. I would normally say that chocolate chip cookies are my favourite thing to eat, period. But I have recently developed a love … Continue reading →

Chocolate Caramel Bars

I made these recently to take to a friend’s barbeque. They were such a hit! My friend’s sister’s boyfriend (that’s a mouthful) cooked a really great barbeque, with prawns (shrimp), Peri Peri chicken, wings, lamb skewers and spicy sausages. We sat around in my friend’s awesome outdoor patio, drinking beers, talking, and eating yummy meat and salads as it begun to thunder and hail and storm. Lucky we were covered. … Continue reading →

Anzac Biscuits

Today is Anzac Day. In Australia, that means a day off from school and from work for most people. So I thought I’d bake some Anzac biscuits to represent the day, and because its raining out and what better to do on a rainy day than bake? Anzac biscuits are a very popular rolled oat biscuit in Australia. The story goes that a similar, harder version of the Anzac biscuit … Continue reading →

Parmesan Chilli Shortbread

I’m so excited about these savoury shortbread cookies! I’ve been meaning to make them for ages and now I just don’t know why I waited this long. They’re totally addictive. Not joking. I ate about 4 of them just while I was taking photos. I really want another one. Like, now. They’re that good. I first fell in love with the chilli and parmesan combo when I made these. This … Continue reading →

Strawberry Crumb Cake

Oh my gosh, this cake is amazing. I have a lot of delicious looking strawberry cakes and coffee cakes pinned on Pinterest and since I so fell in love with strawberries in pie, I have been meaning to make a strawberry coffee cake. And boy did I choose a fantastic recipe to try! I had a random day off, and a good friend was coming by for an afternoon coffee. … Continue reading →

Mocha Nutella Thumbprint Cookies

I don’t really drink coffee. It’s not that I don’t like the taste of it, it’s just that espresso coffee in lattes and cappuccinos, which is really the only type of coffee you can buy in cafes Australia, makes me feel sick. I don’t know why. I can happily drink instant coffee (judge all you like). And I love the filtered coffee that they drink in the States. I would … Continue reading →

Ferrero Rocher Nutella Brownies

I LOVE this recipe for easy Nutella brownies. Remember these? And these? And these and these? Yeah. I’m obsessed. Simple, quick and easy 4-ingredient Nutella brownies have become a favourite recipe of mine. I make them all the time. ALL the time. This is real life. Sometimes when I make them, it’s a simple batch, a plain batch, so my boyfriend can learn how to make them or just so … Continue reading →

Apple Pie Muffins

So the other day I made muffins that taste like apple pie. YUM. For real. Breakfast is hard when you need to get out of the house before 7am. I can never wake up when my alarm goes off at 6am. I end up hitting snooze about 10 times, and before I know it it’s 6.25. And by then I’m already running so late, and I have 20 minutes to … Continue reading →

Pecan Caramel Tarts

I made these little babies at culinary school. They were one of my favourite desserts we’ve made all term. Right after these. The class is Hot and Cold Desserts and has been my absolute favourite so far. The teacher is amazing, an award winner in bread and pastry sculpture. He is much more relaxed and trusting than the other chefs, simply allowing us to go off and cook what is … Continue reading →

Ultimate Brownies

Remember when I told you about my search for the ultimate brownies? And I thought I found them with these fudgy chocolate chip brownies? Well, they were great, but these are the bomb. These are the ultimate, my favourite, all time best ever, delicious, brilliant brownies. I really try not to title anything “ultimate” or “the best” on my blog, because there are so many recipes out there that it’s … Continue reading →
