A couple of months ago i came across this most awesome blog. Not only does she cooks the best food ever, the photos are also amazing. I then went to discover that she won Weblog of the year last year and has up to 13 million hits to her site per month! What i also [...]

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 [...]

Forgive me dear reader, for it has been way too long between posts. I must admit i took a baking hiatus as life just got in the way. Lately however i’ve had the urge to bake again and my latest creation is the humble lemon tart. I love anything sour and tangy (much to my [...]

I’m probably not taking this health kick quite as serious as i should be. I tend to find that when i go all out to be good, i end up crashing and burning before it’s even had time to have an effect. So, i’ve decided on weekdays, i’ll be strict and stick to this healthy [...]

I am often the go-to girl for dessert recipes. I’ve probably got over 10 books dedicated to dessert and am always on the hunt for more. Since my quest to become healthier, i turned to my trusty cookbooks but was horrified to find that not one contained anything remotely healthy. I think the closest i [...]

I’d like apologise for my lack of posts lately. With winter coming up, i’m trying to be good and that means no more naughty indulgences like cakes, sweets, desserts and chocolate (you get the drift). Kinda defeats the purpose of a cake blog doesn’t it? As i’ve mentioned before, i’m not really a huge chocolate [...]

***STOP PRESS*** I think i have found it. An almost as good alternative to the Monaco Bar. It’s made by The Authenic Ice Cream Company and it’s called the Ice Cream Sandwhich. From memory, the Monaco Bar was a little bigger, but the texture is as i remember it. The chocolate “bread” is soft (not [...]

I often make cheesecakes so i’m surprised i haven’t posted a recipe yet. The best thing about most cheesecake recipes is that you can just change the main ingredient to whatever takes your fancy. As usual, i was feeling peckish for something sweet so after scouring my cupboard for some inpiration, i stumbled across a [...]
