Bills Ricotta Hotcakes

jen | May 5, 2010

When it comes to breakfast type foods, i prefer to let someone else do the cooking. First of all i’m never up early enough on the weekend and secondly it’s more fun going out for breakfast than to make it myself. On this lovely Sunday morning however my lovely hubby offered to recreate Bills famous [...]

Profiteroles with chantilly cream

jen | April 23, 2010

Now that i’m on maternity leave, i’m finding that i have a lot of time on my hands. This can be a good thing, or in my case, a bad thing. What i like to do when i’m bored is bake and baking usually equals eating! I’ve put on quite a few kilos since being [...]

Masterchef. My new favourite word. Like many of you, i am so happy to have Masterchef back on our TV screens. It was by far my most favourite show to watch last year and i couldn’t wait for it to come back on. I watched it religiously and if i wasn’t home to watch it, [...]

If you’re a Sydneysider like me, you may have noticed the weather lately. Freezing, freezing, freezing! And it’s not even winter yet. It’s meant to be Autumn, but why are we already donning jackets, gloves and scarves? During the next couple of months, i will be complaining about the cold a lot because i loathe [...]

Banana, Almond & Cinnamon Muffin
