Hello hello! I was a little bit busy/slack with scheduling posts before I left for an amazing week in Malaysia, but I really wanted to share this recipe with you. If you’ve been reading for a while, you’ll already know how I feel about Pimm’s. It’s the perfect summery drink for sharing with the girls, but I also love experimenting with it … Read More

Just a quick post from me today. Can you believe that Easter is just around the corner now? And that 2013 is almost one quarter over already?? The hot cross buns and Cadbury creme eggs have been in the shops since January 2nd it seems, but I’m yet to have any so far this year. But that will all change … Read More

2012 was a very interesting year. It was without a doubt one of the busiest and most challenging (both professionally and personally) but I feel like I’ve grown and learned a lot. One of the biggest moments for me was being promoted to Senior Designer at my day job mid-year, which had me facing all sorts of new pressures while … Read More

I’ve written before about how much I love homemade pizza. Just like making marshmallows from scratch, there’s no way I’ll ever be able to go back to store bought pizza bases now! But luckily, pizza dough is easier to make than you think, especially if you have a stand mixer with a dough hook. Although I always prefer making it … Read More

I have such a love/hate relationship with restaurants that don’t take bookings. When we were in Melbourne earlier this year, Chin Chin was high on the ‘to eat’ list. I knew we’d have to arrive early but when we showed up before 6pm we were told that we could have a table for 2 at 10.30! Whaaaat?! Quickly escaping, I … Read More

I can’t believe we’re already at the end of another year. I know I must sound like a broken record going on about how time flies, but 2011 went by especially fast! In many ways it was a challenging year, but I learned so much and I’m looking forward to seeing what 2012 will bring. I thought I would put … Read More

I’m just going to come right out and say it…these pies are awesome. I usually wouldn’t post two pear recipes in as many weeks, but I just had to share these. They came about because I still had quite a few beautiful pears left from the box sent by Impact Communications. I have had this particular recipe from Gourmet Traveller … Read More

I think we’re well and truly into autumn now. The leaves have begun to turn, daylight savings has ended and it’s dark by 6pm. I’ve begun to dig scarves and boots from the back of the wardrobe for the cooler, drizzly days, and my daily intake of hot tea is increasing as the temperature drops. Summer fruits have all but … Read More

Hi guys, no recipe today, just a bit of housekeeping, because I’ve got a few exciting things to share with you! (accompanied by some random photos snapped with my iPhone) First up, I’m very excited to be nominated as a finalist in Cosmo’s Fun Fearless Female competition in the blogger category! I’m absolutely stoked to be up with some amazing … Read More

I have a long list of favourite fruits, but I think figs are right at the tippity top. I absolutely love their curvaceous shape, their striking colour and their earthy taste that works well in both sweet and savoury dishes. Surprisingly, I don’t seem to have very many fig recipes here on my blog, but I think that’s because I … Read More
