Trillionaire bars
I am pretty much the happiest person ever right now, due to a remarkable combination of circumstances that have resulted in most of my closest remaining work friends all converging upon Sydney at once. I just have a couple months left here and will definitely be living life to the fullest (even more than usual), … Continue reading
Chocolate chunk sea salt cookies
Sometimes, you just need a good chocolate chip cookie. It’s exceedingly hard for me to make the most basic of cookies without adding a little twist, and I know I have a tried and true recipe for chocolate chip cookies already on this blog. But when I saw this one it caught my eye due … Continue reading
Gingersnaps
Today I present to you all one of the simplest cookie recipes I’ve ever made. When I made gingerbread over the holidays I had to get a big jar of molasses even though the recipe only called for a bit (molasses is essential to gingerbread), so then I was stuck with spare molasses in my … Continue reading
Stunning delicacies at Sixpenny
The other week, I had the pleasure of having a delightfully long lunch with a few professional chefs here in Sydney (no big deal). It goes without saying that I immensely enjoy the company of chefs and learning about the restaurant industry here, and as an added bonus, they literally all know each other and … Continue reading
Summer vegetable bake
It has been quite a while since I’ve posted a non baked goods recipe on this blog and I know I’m a bit overdue. I’ve been searching around in vain for recipes that are healthy that I haven’t made before that don’t actually require much cooking time because when it’s this hot out (sorry, people … Continue reading
Blueberry snack cake
I must admit that lately I haven’t been particularly inspired either cooking or baking wise. I was busy entertaining people over the holidays and quite pre-occupied with this business school decision, but now that that’s made (I’m moving to London!), I’m ready to start trying out some new recipes again. I had a bag of … Continue reading
Salted caramel blondies
Last month, I had to do some farewell baking for a colleague and I was told by inside sources that it was preferable the dessert be non-chocolate. As you all know this tends to be a challenge for me but instead of scouring Tastespotting I thought perhaps I would actually just create something on my … Continue reading
Chocolate spice gingerbread
It’s a bit belated to be posting about gingerbread, since this is really a Christmas baked good more than anything else, but I have to share this recipe regardless because it’s still very cold where most of my friends live and gingerbread is a great winter dessert as well. Plus, it’s incredibly fun to decorate. … Continue reading
Sticky banana date cupcakes
Happy New Year everyone! I for one am absolutely thrilled it is 2014, which will be a year full of new beginnings and exciting adventures for me. I know that most people like to kick of the new year with resolutions, of which nearly all involve some variation of “being healthier”. At my household and … Continue reading
Spinach and mushroom gozleme
In Australia, a classic food that is sold at almost every open air market is gozleme (pronounced goz-le-may). The first time I tried one I could not figure out why this amazing food has somehow not made it to America. It’s a traditionally Turkish dish and is basically a flatbread that can be filled with … Continue reading
