So I just went for a run. Well it was more like a walk/run. But it’s still a pretty big deal. Because I haven’t been for a run since like, 2010. Not even kidding. Once upon a time, I was one of those weird people who was addicted to the gym. The story goes that when I finished high school I lived in Europe for a year. I spent most … Continue reading →

I love lists. To-do lists, mostly. I write them all the time. They get me through busy times, my day, all my homework and the prep for a trip overseas. I love ticking off the things I need to do, one by one, and watching the list get shorter and shorter, as my freedom gets closer. The satisfaction of finishing everything you needed to do on a list, and then … Continue reading →

Sometimes you just need some good old, classic comfort. Whether its because its cold and rainy, you’re feeling unwell, or you’re just having a bad week, a bit of love and some familiar comfort food can make you feel a little better. This particular week was a pretty bad one. On top of the bad week, everything I tried to bake was just going wrong too. Do you believe that … Continue reading →

So I like to read. Like, I really like to read. Like, even when I come home drunk a little tipsy, I get into bed and open up my book and read a couple of pages. It’s habit. I have to do it. I usually read before bed. Because reading helps me go to sleep. I stop thinking about my day/life/blog/cookies and focus on the story in my book and … Continue reading →

I had just come back from Poland when I made these chocolate chip cookies. There was no proper brown sugar in Poland, not the soft, sticky molasses-y kind. It was granular and tinted brown with the addition of caramel, so it was hopeless in making chewy chocolate chip cookies. So for a whole month I lived without chocolate chip cookies. That’s a long time for me. I was absolutely fine … Continue reading →

These cookies are not called “dream cookies” because they are dreamy or heavenly (not that they aren’t good!). These cookies are called “dream cookies” because the idea for them was born in a dream. Confused? The story goes like this: One day, my friend, lets call him A, had a dream that he ate some cookies. Then he sent me a Facebook message that said – “Omg! I just had … Continue reading →

I am in Poland at the moment and I love it! I just spent a few days in Warsaw visiting my grandma and now we are in a little village where my mum grew up, hanging out with the whole family and eating! Expect a post about Polish pastries soon. Before I left Melbourne, I bought myself a new camera. It is a Canon 550D (Rebel T2i) and I am … Continue reading →

These cookies are so nice and simple. It’s easy to get swept away in Nutella cookie cups, cookies and cream bars and Oreo chocolate chunk cookies. These things are all super delicious, but sometimes it’s nice to get back down to basics. This is one of those times. Although these vanilla oatmeal cookies are simple, they are by no means boring. They are thick, soft and chewy. They have texture … Continue reading →

Cookies, cookies, cookies. I can never get enough of cookies. I bake them all the time and will never ever say no to a cookie. I eat them (and crave them) all the time too. Sometimes if the cravings get desperate, I’ll even buy them from the supermarket bakery. Or from subway. Please don’t tell anyone. This recipe is another one of my favourites for cookies (they all seem to … Continue reading →
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

The amount of butter and sugar inside cookies sometimes shocks me. Sometimes I don’t realise, but there are moments where I go whoa. I don’t even butter my vegemite toast yet I’m happy to put a block of butter in a saucepan, melt it, add some sugar and flour and then eat all the raw dough. Somewhat contradictory of me, I think. What else amazes me is how the smallest … Continue reading →
