Ok, so I know I endorse weeknight baking a lot. The trouble is sometimes the weeknight extends into the wee hours of the next weekday, when you really want to sleep, but the muffins take what seems like an eternity to bake and then there’s the question of how to wait up till they are cool…

Strawberry Mimosas (two ways)
If you do insist on consuming food and drink that’s pink/red/maroon/crimson, or anywhere in that colour spectrum this Valentine’s Day, promise me there will be these blushing mimosas somewhere on the menu. I just said ‘blushing mimosas’. Apparently no amount of “I’m above gooeyness” holds true when February 14 finally rolls around. Seriously though, these are about…
Fresh Fig and Almond Cake
I just want to say that this post might be more about my beautiful blue photography board than the food on it. The board literally takes the cake. Despite having to battle the heat that is slowly creeping up on us, shooting against a new surface was all sorts of amazing. If you don’t already know it,…
My Favourite Veggie Burgers
So over the weekend, my Instagram account went kaput and I’m crossing everything I can to make sure it comes back. In the meantime, I’m filling the void in my life and my tummy with these fabulous veggie burgers. The thing with veggie burgers at many restaurants is that they’re usually deep-fried, dripping with grease…
Strawberry Coconut Muffins
I love planning. I love lists and schedules and notes, both mental and physical. I love knowing what I’m doing next. Safe to say, impulsive behaviour isn’t something I’m too familiar with 🙂 On this blog, most posts are planned at least a week ahead. I know the ingredients I need to buy, the props…
Poached Pear and Ginger Cheesecake
Sometimes, the night before Christmas, we really need cake. Sometimes we get so busy burying the tree in ornaments, we forget that there’s a cake to be baked. A cake that should have been baked weeks ago. Or we don’t have the will power to wait for three weeks to cut into said cake. Or we…
Strawberries and Cream Scones (Eggless)
Old post, new scones! I’ve loved these strawberry scones for a long, long time but they needed a revamp. Fresh photos and an updated recipe just in time to catch the last of the strawberries this season!
Homemade Apple Cider Sangria
What do you do when you really want to curl up with a big mug of warm apple cider but fireplaces and gloves are a ridiculous occurrence where you live? Why, you turn it into chilled sangria, is what you do. And you fill it with fruits and honey and feel all beachy instead of…
Coffee Cheesecake with Tiramisu Bon Bons
I’m sorry for doing this to you. Except I’m not. One should never apologize for cheesecake. Especially not for this cheesecake. Because this one here, is a pre-Christmas miracle. There is coffee, a lot of it, chocolate, a lot of it, cream cheese, a lot of it, and then because there’s always room for improvement,…
