Roasted tomato onion salad with dukkah-crusted eggplant
I have a dear friend visiting me all the way from London right now so I am in full-on show off the city mode. However even with me wanting to show her every restaurant possible, it’s still nice to have one night designated as an eat in night when the whole rest of the trip … Continue reading
Oatmeal molasses bars
Although I love chocolate, I am also a sucker for a good chewy oatmeal raisin cookie (and even more so if there is chocolate in it). So when I was looking for recipes to use up the last of this jar of molasses I had, I thought it would be great to put the remainder … Continue reading
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
