I found this recipe on Nigella’s website out of all places. As i was attending a Christmas breakfast, i thought it was the perfect time to test this out. I love banana bread on it’s own, so when it’s teamed up with chocolate chip, i knew it was going to be pretty special. Bill Granger’s [...]

Unless you’re a LifeStyle FOOD addict like me, you’ve probably never heard of Anna Olson. Anna may not be a household name like Nigella (well in Australia anyway), i believe she is just as good in the desserts and pastry department. She hosts a show called Sugar and makes the most divine desserts. Each episodes features a [...]
