Happy Thursday, friends! I’ve been to the beach more times in the last 2 weeks than I have during the whole summer. I was very serious when I said I aimed to get in a few more beach trips before the autumn weather sets in. I’m very lucky to have some beautiful beaches just a few minutes walk from home. … Read More

It’s been a long time since I reviewed a restaurant. A really long time. I don’t find myself trying as many new places these days, and when I do, I don’t take my camera with me! But there’s always an exception and this was a place I was excited to try, and have been excited to tell you about all … Read More

You can’t be sad while eating a mango. Same rule applies to anything with sprinkles on top. Trust me, it’s true. But there aren’t many mango recipes on my blog, which is strange as they’re right up there with my favourite fruits… or maybe it’s not that strange, because they usually don’t last very long in my fruit bowl. In … Read More

I can’t believe we’re already half way through January – but this year has really started with a bang! I thought long and hard about my “resolutions” and discovered that the majority of them would take place in the kitchen and the office. While 2014 was a year of change and uncertainty, I think this year will be about learning, … Read More

I hope you all had a really lovely Christmas and some time off to relax. I always get quite reflective around this time of year on the things that have happened and how fast time is flying by! This year was all about hard work and learning as I started to build my freelance business. I didn’t get to bake … Read More

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas! We had a lovely lunch with the family and I’ve had a nice relaxing few days working on my new portfolio site (stay tuned!) and writing down some goals for 2014. But wow, what a year it’s been, and boy, it seemed to fly by! 2013 has come with an enormous amount of big … Read More

I don’t like eggs. I know that makes me weird, but poached and hard boiled eggs are one of my worst fears! So it makes sense that eggnog is something I thought I’d never, ever drink. But earlier this week, after seeing eggnog recipes all over Pinterest, I had an idea. How about using eggnog as one of the three ‘milks’ in … Read More

How to win friends and influence people. I spent an awesome weekend up in Brisbane for the first time in years, catching up with family and friends, and attending the Blogcademy! I met some truly awesome Brissy blog babes and now I’m brimming with ideas and inspiration for new features and ways to make this blog better. Needless to say … Read More

I love kaya. I love doughnuts. Making kaya doughnuts was pretty much inevitable.  I’ve got my friends Steph and Karen to thank for introducing me to kaya, a caramelised coconut jam enriched with eggs and flavoured with pandan leaves. It’s popular in Malaysia and other South-East Asian countries, served on toast with soft boiled eggs for breakfast, or with sticky … Read More

I have some big news. Firstly, I’m writing this from New York City. Yes, I did finally make it here after a sleepless 48 hour journey that included an unexpected 18 hour stopover in Fiji because of mechanical problems on the plane! I’m spending an absolutely amazing week exploring, eating and catching up with friends, before heading on to check … Read More
