So it’s getting cold. And I don’t like it. I want warm, summer, sun, long days, being outside, the beach, fruit, cocktails… And the list goes on. Instead, it’s rainy, the sun goes down super early, the heater is on and I’m back to wearing two pairs of socks to bed. And I’m in denial. I don’t want to accept that we’re already more than halfway through autumn. Nor do … 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 →
Strawberry and Apple Crumble
I have an announcement to make everyone. I am going to Europe again. Yay! If you’re a regular in these parts, you will know that last November I went on a trip to Paris then on to Poland to visit all my relatives. I must seriously have the travel bug as I’m going again so soon. A trip to Europe from Australia is no easy feat. It is about 30 … Continue reading →

Healthy Strawberry Breakfast Crumble
I fell so in love with this strawberry crumble, that I was inspired to make a healthier version. So I could eat it all the time. Because when I baked the original, I was eating it for breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner, and I wanted to make one that I could happily eat for breakfast, lunch, dessert and dinner without feeling guilty. So this is what I came up with. … Continue reading →
Strawberry Crumble
Autumn is here. It came quite suddenly, as soon as February finished. Just as summer was technically over, on the first day of March, I found autumn leaves at my back door. I am welcoming autumn, and winter, this year. Summer in Australia is hot, humid and disgusting. I don’t live near the beach and the sun here is too strong to lie in it for long anyway. So cooler … 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 →
Crepes with Nutella and Strawberries
These are my mum’s crepes. Mum has made crepes for as long as I can remember. These are actually the Polish version of crepes, and are called nalesniki. When I was young, I was a brat and used to rebel against the Polish nalesniki she made, saying that I wanted thick, American, REAL pancakes, not her silly crepes. Now that I’m grown up and have a bit a lot more … Continue reading →
