So I feel like lately I’ve been bombarding you with chocolate. And chocolate. And MORE chocolate. If there is anyone out there who doesn’t like chocolate (umm… if you do actually exist, how are we friends?) and is possibly complaining, then this one is for you. But it is also for the chocolate lovers. Because this is quite possibly better than chocolate. OhmygoshdidIreallyjustsaythat?! Yes. I did. I first made this … Continue reading →

Strawberry and Custard Hand Pies
It’s summer over here in Melbourne. You wouldn’t know it with all the maple glazed pumpkin cake and gingerbread/eggnog macarons I’ve been baking. But it is summer. High summer. I swear. My days (once I’ve finished the morning bake at work) are filled with lots of tanning, laying by the pool, swimming, trips to the beach, buzzing night markets, long walks, afternoon cocktails and ciders, brunch in the sun, and warm, … Continue reading →
Creme Brûlée
So, about a year ago, I sat down and wrote a list of goals for 2012. It was a spur of the moment thing, I’m not even sure what motivated me to do it, and the list was just quickly tapped into my iPhone notes. I then proceeded to immediately forget all about it. Completely. I didn’t think about it again. Not once. Until a month or so ago that … Continue reading →
Gingerbread Macarons with Eggnog Buttercream
Christmas is only a week away now! How crazy. Where did this year go?! It was winter all of about five minutes ago. It was cold and rainy and wet and miserable. Then before I knew it, it started getting warm. And the sun started rising earlier. And summer came along with a bang. The stores put up their Christmas decorations. And trees. And Santa popped up in all the … Continue reading →
Cherry Clafoutis Tart
Sundays are my days off. My one day during the week where I don’t have to go to work or go to class or go to work and then go to class. I sometimes have Wednesdays off too, but on Wednesdays, I do stuff. Like make appointments. And see friends. And run errands. And do annoying assignments. But Sundays? Sundays are all mine. Sundays mean I get to sleep in … Continue reading →
Strawberry and Blueberry Custard Pie
I love blogging and the blogging world. It lets me bake, write about baked goods, share my ideas, discuss by baking thoughts, share my versions of baked goods, read your comments, make baking friends, reply to your comments and talk about baking with you, read other blogs, see their baking ideas, and basically through posting, it allows me to talk to myself about baking. Because no one else I know, … Continue reading →
Strawberry Baked French Toast
So. Life is busy. When I was on summer break and just working 3-4 shifts a week, I had heaps of time to bake. HEAPS. I was baking, well, pretty much almost everyday. Sometimes twice a day. I was loving it! Now that I’ve started at culinary school, there isn’t so much time to throw around. All the early mornings of school and then all the early mornings of baking … Continue reading →
Little Blueberry Tarts
Every Sunday night, we have a family dinner at my grandma’s house. She and my aunt make dinner. It is usually a big meal, typically Greek food (that’s the Greek side of my family) and always accompanied by a big salad, freshly baked bread and Greek pies, called pita. My aunt, who has her own blog called Simplest Most Delicious Food, always makes something delicious for dessert. There has been … Continue reading →
