SWEETS | Apple Pumpkin Bundt Cake
Fall (face first into this cake – no seriously)! I love autumn. The leaves are starting to change their colours from green, to red, to gold; there’s that compost smell in the air; bonfires and fireworks light up the sky at night – which is why… This cake makes the perfect accompaniment for one of…
Lemon Brûlée Tart
Lemon Brûlée tart. I can’t think of a better combination! Light, lemony, heavenly.
DINNER | La Reine Spaghetti
I LOVE going out for dinner and one of the places I like to go (although Ben will say that I don’t because of a bad experience with a waitress and a me in a terrible mood) is Pizza Express. La Reine pizza is my favourite pizza and i was inspired by it’s earthy flavour…
DINNER | Baconnaise and Sweet Potato Wedges
Let me be very clear. Under no circumstances do i suggest that you share this meal with anyone other than someone you love very dearly and whom you don’t mind eating all of the food – because trust me when I say, I’m glad this only makes so much because i would still be eating…

DINNER | Paleo Mash Sweet Potato Hash Brown with Poached Egg and Spinach
OH NO! Another sweet potato recipe. What can i say – I’m in love with the oddly shaped orange root vegetable. I started making this last year after throwing my birthday brinner (breakfast for dinner) party. So many recipes to make sweet potato hash browns call for the potato to be grated and i always…
SWEETS | Lemon & Blueberry Bread
GOOD MORNING WORLD! Now, I’d like to talk about cereal. I like Kellogs cornflakes and bran flakes as much as the next girl. Cereal is good for digestion and can be eaten as part of a healthy balanced diet. But… … so can cake. And technically this is fruit bread, so should it count as…
LUNCH | French Baked Brie Recipe with Figs, Walnuts and Pistachios
Proper Show Stopper! This baked brie with jam, figs, walnuts and pistachios is the yummiest food I’ve had in a while. A couple of days ago me and my housemates made this and I don’t think we’ve been so happy with our little selves. 15 minutes is all it takes. And it is nothing short…
SWEETS | White Chocolate, Cardamom and Orange Blondies
Cardamom is one of my favorite flavors ever, I just can’t get enough of it. Cardamom ice cream is my favorite thing ever! Cardamom buns, and all sorts of cardamom-laced baked goods are a close second. I don’t think I’ve ever had a cardamom treat(?!) I haven’t scoffed in second (except ice cream – Stripes…
Greek lamb filo pie with feta and oregano
When i was last in Greece, me and my clan were out for dinner when the kitchen in the restaurant we were at ran out of the dishes we had asked for. So the chef, came out to us and said – “I’ll make you something special” and he made us this… and boy was…
