It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order… As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans Willy Wonka eat your heart out (aka this is what happens when I say I'll make the cake for the MIL's 80th b-day). For those keeping score it was made up of 2 layers coconut cake, 2 layers … [Read more...]
Decadent Dark Chocolate Mousse
Let it be known that roughly once a week since January my husband has asked for chocolate mousse. Let it also be known that roughly once since January I week I rolled my eyes and ignored his pleas. But the man is nothing if not quick on his feet and a few weeks ago a fly on the wall overheard a conversation that went something like this... J - what kind of cake do you want for your birthday? R - can I pick anything? J - sure R - I want that chocolate mousse that my mate Manu made for … [Read more...]
In My Kitchen: May 2015
It’s once again time for In My Kitchen and as per usual this is a collection of things from the past month — a small snippet of those seen over on Instagram — in loosely interpreted categories and no particular order... As always I’m linking up with Celia for IMK. ------ Kitchen Shenanigans & Food Finds A much belated display of the edible goodies that actually came home with us from Japan. Chilli and tea (because I ate the Meiji dark chocolate on the plane) should tell you all you … [Read more...]
Banana Split Hot Cross Buns
I'd been thinking about Hot Cross Buns for weeks. It happens every Easter, so it wasn't a surprise really, however this year it was Chocolate Hot Cross Buns that were hopping through my mind like a hyperactive bunny. But everyone and their mother has made Chocolate Hot Cross Buns and the bunny got bored with my lack of creativity, then hand on hip it tapped its foot and whistled and refused to make eye contact. And so it was, as it hopped off on another lap of my brain, that the wheels … [Read more...]
Chocolate Granola
Sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Like the day I landed on Food.Baby.Life, my assigned blog for March Secret Recipe Club, and the first post on the first page was for a grain-free chocolate granola. And that granola called out to me so loudly that I didn't want to go any further. But I did, because it's the responsible thing to do, and I'm so glad I dug a bit deeper... I discovered that Susan -- a mum to three little ones under five who is also studying Naturopathy -- is … [Read more...]
Coconut, Ricotta & Cornmeal Tea Cake
This must be one of the easiest cakes I've ever made ... Or at least it would have been, had the morning not been a comedy of errors. First up the butter I was melting in the oven (no I don't have a microwave) tipped and spilled as I went to get it out. Interesting upside is that melted butter apparently makes a great cleaner when wiped off the bottom of a hot oven. Who knew. Of course my oven now smells like butter every time it's turned on. Then I completely forgot to put said butter … [Read more...]

A special gift guide to celebrate the one you love -- not just today but every day.

From beautiful items for breakfast in bed and decorative declarations of love, to alternative bouquets and of course chocolate, a bit of glitter and outside the box thinking goes a long way any day of the … [Read more...]
