There's something about the impending long weekend that accompanies Easter -- and the inescapable invasion of hot cross buns marching like fluffy little soldiers across the shelves of every bakery and grocery store in Sydney -- that makes me want to bake. My history with hot cross buns is well documented and this year, thanks to the universe sending inspiring flavours my way, my head was full of orange & almond brioche and orange & coconut pull apart bread and that challah I made a … [Read more...]
No-Knead Hot Cross Buns
Every so often I think that I'd like to be one of those people who post relevant, seasonal, festive recipes for every imaginable holiday... Then reality and life set in and I get over it pretty quickly (haha). But amazingly I've managed to post a hot cross bun recipe every year, except for the first, since I started this little corner of the internet. 2012 kicked off the Easter parade with Sour Cherry, Orange and Earl Grey Hot Cross Buns. 2013 and 2014 were two of my faves with … [Read more...]
Summer Sangria Popsicles (plus a Virgin Sangria option)
I always used to smirk at those "10 things to do with leftover wine" lists, because who ever has leftover wine? But I somehow became that person who rarely drinks more than one glass in a go, and all of a sudden if a bottle of wine was opened there was almost always a couple of glasses left over. Then one day I horrified a girlfriend (who is a brand manger for a wine company, so rightfully horrified by bad wine habits) by sharing that I was known to re-cap and refrigerate said open bottle … [Read more...]
Healthier Pecan Pie
Well now, isn't that a terribly mundane name for a stunningly good pie. Perhaps I could have gone with something more descriptive like Dairy-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Pecan Pie, but I feel that it's really just a longer and equally mundane name for a remarkable dessert. So remarkable in fact, I had to make a video -- but we'll get to that in a moment. Maybe I should have named it something more screechy and celebratory -- The Best Pecan Pie Ever!!!! Life-Changing Pecan Pie!!! OMG … [Read more...]
3-Ingredient Emergency Cookies
Sometimes you just need a cookie. It's a sentiment which seems to be a common theme around here these days -- although it's not quite as opinionated or parenthesised this time, ahem. These little morsles have made many an appearance on Instagram over the years, generally in a fit of irritation over something or other, occasionally for dinner, and very unfairly with nary a recipe to be seen. Of course this is almost to be expected for something with the word "emergency" in its name. As … [Read more...]
Vegan & Gluten Free Teff Anzac Biscuits
Sometimes baking is the only solution. Spoon, measure, stir, pour, the motions happen almost automatically, ingrained in my mussels it seems. But as my hands move on their own they in turn leave my mind free to spin and swirl. It's a dangerous situation at best. And so it was, as rain spattered the window and clouds darkened the sky in waves, my swirling mind swirled -- then paused briefly, not on our (now distant memory it seems) brunching and sunsetting all over the place, but on the … [Read more...]
Chocolate Hazelnut Raw Truffles
Every year more and more people celebrate World Nutella Day and every year I post yet another Not-tella recipe in protest celebration. If you want to read my pasts rants explore my past iterations of all things choc-nut inspired you can head over to Chocolate Tahini Spread (nut-free Not-tella) or Chocolate Macadamia Spread (Aussie Not-tella) or Nut-tella-type Choc-Hazelnut Spread (3-Ingredient Not-tella) or even Banana Split Spread (heaven). Or you can simply make a batch of Choc … [Read more...]
