Exploring Culinary Delights and Unforgettable Destinations.
These little babies here (the cupcakes, not the zucchinis. Dad picked one which was seventy times the size of my head yesterday, so there’s no way I can call them “little babies”), are the way I’ll be using this three-tons worth of summer produce. Who’s complaining? Not […]
Who here likes cookie dough for breakfast? (Time to picture me putting my hands up and all that jazz. I can never say no to cookies first thing in the morning!). Though I know what you’re all thinking now “Cookies? For breakfast? Are you right […]
This cake. It’s probably a good thing that I don’t have a proper oven in my dorm because I’d totally give up on life and spend the rest of my days laying in bed in my pyjamas, re-watching GoT for the 22738th time devouring slice after slice […]
Though truth to be true, the portion of cheesecake I had was the tiniest thing ever, which kinda makes me want to cry, since this one is one of the most decadent, luscious and creamiest recipes I’ve ever come across. Too bad I made this […]
These chicken souvlakis are what summer dreams and cool barbecues are made of. Super flavorful and tender pieces of chicken grilled to perfection accompanied by a creamy tzatziki dip and the most refreshing greek salad. Now, that’s what I call a well-spent Sunday! Yeaaaah, I’m […]
What’s better than Saturday mornings with a warm mug of tea and a stack of cloudy pancakes smothered in syrup and topped with a dab of melty butter? Nothing. NO-THING. Oh well, a morning without homework would have been much better, but a girl has […]
This is definitely one of my all-time favorite desserts! Frozen Strawberry Crunch reminds me of a more ‘mature and formal’ version of those strawberry crunch bars I ate as a child in the summertime. I have had this on my ‘to bake’ list for the […]
For BBQ season, I cannot think of a better recipe than this. And, I am not even considering it for just a BBQ time, you can make it all year long. I can truly say it is one of my favorite recipes that will blow […]
Cinna-bun cake is one of the trendiest foods in the world. Chinese cuisine is one of my favorites, and I love it. I watched a video of this recipe while browsing the internet and just had to make it. There were variations, ways, and ingredients […]
These Soft Baked Breakfast Bars are a total win. Win win win! They’re full of fruit, fiber, flavour and they keep me full so that I don’t feel the urge to eat 6 of them (like I do with chocolate chip cookies… Sigh…). For fruit […]
These are ubiquitous. Everyone loves a good lemon bar – even the chocoholics who say it’s not worth it if it ain’t got chocolate in it will snatch up a lemon square off the dessert table.Their beauty lies in their simplicity that comes through their flavour and […]
Something you’ll find all over cafes in Italy are gorgeous golden tarts, called Crostata Marmellata. Marmellata means jam, which is exactly what they’re filled with – strawberry, raspberry, cherry and, one of my favourites, apricot. They’ll only set you back as much as that avocado […]
There are no major expectations and no specific requirements. It just has to be a) fun, and b) delicious enough to warrant eating the batter. In my job, I bake every day. The things I bake at work need to look a certain way, taste a certain way and cost a […]
I’ve been busy baking, candy-making, testing and re-testing. I’ve been photographing, writing, editing, freaking out and panicking. I’ve been proud and thrilled when things turn out exceptionally and then completely annoyed and frustrated when things don’t come out right the first time around. That’s the […]
This dessert has the texture of a brownie, but uses the technique of a cake…..it kind of has two personalities. It starts with creaming butter and sugar. You’ve done that before right? The sugar crystals pierce through the fat and introduce air, creating little tiny […]
