Condensed Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today I’d like you to meet my blog’s new home! What do you think? It still has the same Recipe Index and Baking Conversions pages, all the recipes have moved over here, you can still read all about me, and if you follow, I’m happy to say I haven’t lost any of you! But it took work. Hours and hours of me asking annoying question after annoying question and nagging my amazingly … Continue reading →

Christmas Spiced Brown Sugar Shortbread

Hey everyone? It’s Christmas! Seriously, how did that happen so fast?! It’s Christmas Eve here today. I spent the entire afternoon baking various Christmassy and non-Christmassy baked goods for, well, Christmas. There are homemade Baci chocolates, espresso ice cream, a ridiculously amazing new version of this cake and the best passionfruit tart ever. All of those recipes will be coming to you in the new year! But today, I have a gorgeously … Continue reading →

Caramel Pecan Shortbread Pie Bars

So I am DONE. No more school for me. Ever. I will never, ever, have to study again (unless I am crazy enough to go back to school at some stage in the future. Not that I think school is crazy. I loved school. But I need a break. Before I lose my mind). I will never have to sit a test or exam again. I will never have to … Continue reading →

Apple and Almond Crumble Pie Bars

Today is going to be a little bit different, because the story behind why I made these bars is a sad one. My dear friend’s mum, Sophie, passed away last week. She was an amazing woman, full of life, love, energy, positivity and strength. She left this world before her time, and will be greatly missed by many. I made this pie in Sophie’s memory, and gave it to my … 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 →

Brown Butter Lemon Bars

All you Americans out there, especially all those who live in San Francisco, have you been to Tartine? I have been to SF. And the most heartbreaking thing for me is that (as it was pre my “all I want to do is bake” days) I didn’t go to Tartine. I went to some fantastic places like Nopa and Dottie Blue’s, but I was yet to hear about Tartine at … 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 →

Chocolate Chip Espresso Shortbread

After baking lots of chewy, gooey things recently, I started dreaming about buttery, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread. Chocolate chip shortbread, to be exact. I’m not sure why (Weird. I know). Anyway. So when I stumbled upon (literally) this, I went straight into the kitchen and made it. I did something ridiculously good to this shortbread. I divided the dough into two and added chopped up hazelnut milk chocolate to half of it … Continue reading →

Salted Chocolate Shortbread

There were a bunch of things I wanted to bake yesterday. I couldn’t decide between two of them. So I decided to bake both! I went into the kitchen, pulled out the heavy stand mixer, got out all my ingredients and went to the fridge to get some eggs. And there were no eggs. Something you may not know about me is that I’m pretty lazy. I’d rather not bake … Continue reading →

Lemon Cornmeal Shortbread

I had two options when making this shortbread; use a stand mixer or a whisk. It seemed like a lose-lose situation late at night after a long day of baking, uni and errands. The stand mixer is a pain to haul out of the kitchen cupboard (it actually takes like 2 seconds, but whatever). The whisk initially seemed like the easier option, but then I realised it requires a LOT … Continue reading →
