So this tart is just ridiculous. I haven’t made something twice in a row in a really long time. Blogging just doesn’t allow for it – I am constantly wanting to try new things, so that I can test out different recipes, and so I always have something fresh to share with you. But this one was just THAT good, that I had to bake it twice. The photos you see … Continue reading →

Passionfruit Tart
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 →
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 →
Peach and Raspberry Rustic Tart
What is your favourite style of pie? Deep dish pies? Lattice-topped pies? Little, mini pies, maybe? I really like crumble-topped pies. What about skillet baked pies? Or open top pies? Tarts, maybe? I’m usually a traditional pie kind of girl, but I love the ease of these rustic tarts or galettes. They are so simple to make; you just roll out your pastry dough and spread the filling all over … 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 →
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 →
Little Apple Pies
Apple pie is an institution in my house. I love it. When I was little my mum would always make it and put aside some raw dough for me to snack on. I would also eat the apple filling by the bowlful, and Mum used to yell that she wouldn’t have any left for the pie. Everyone’s favourite part of apple pie is the pastry. Crumbly, rich, buttery, delicate pastry, … Continue reading →
Little Quiche Lorraines
When I was about 11 my dad brought me home a book called Junior Cook. I spent hours going through it, marking all the recipes I wanted to try and making lists of the ingredients I needed to buy. That book pretty much marks the beginning of my foray into cooking and baking on my own (rather than just mixing Mum’s cakes or eating her raw apple pie dough). I … Continue reading →
Caramelised Leek and Goat’s Cheese Tart
I don’t really like cooking. I’ll do it on occasion when I feel so inclined but I am much more a baker of sweet treats. If I didn’t live with my family I would happily eat things like toast or cereal or maybe even cookies for dinner. I would never cook just for myself (even though I bake for myself all the time. Funny isn’t it?). However, dishes like this … Continue reading →
