Getting into the kitchen with the kids is a lot of fun. Yes, crazy and chaotic but seeing them get joy from measuring and mixing ingredients is precious. Even if you don’t have kids, baking is rewarding, nostalgic and can be quite therapeutic. Besides, baking makes your kitchen smell just so good that you are taken to a different world altogether. Below is a collection of baking recipes I have made and love.
Chequer Board Cookies
Two cookies in one! Sydney is currently in a COVID lockdown with further restrictions. It’s a crazy time here currently. Lots of uncertainty about the future as shops shut, construction ceases and around 100 people contracting COVID per day. Hopefully, this is only for the next two weeks until we can get numbers down but…
Charcoal Banana Bread
A vegan recipe that’s a little different. The secret to making super flavoursome banana bread is overripe bananas. Not just a little blackness on the skin. I’m talking skins that are completely black. They will look quite gross but trust me… the flavour they add into your banana bread is amazing. I have a few…
No-Knead Focaccia Bread

What I’ve discovered is a bunch of recipes there that others are sharing. While I don’t have time to create video recipes myself, I do enjoy watching…
Caramel Slice
A slice of heaven. Many moons ago I used to work at Nestlé. I loved working there and of course, there were perks. Working in the world’s largest food and beverage company meant lots of perks. First, there was the staff shop – lots of plentiful discounted products to buy. Next was the free lollies…
Choc Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Gluten-free & so easy to make! Imagine a cookie recipe with no butter and no flour. That’s what these choc chip peanut butter cookies have… absolutely no butter and no flour. Are you wondering if this is at all possible? Well, I definitely thought that when I saw this recipe. These choc chip peanut butter…
Rhubarb Crumble Slice
Being Opportunistic. I love to buy food based on what’s on special at the time. It’s amazing what bargains you can find if you search for it. At a time like now when finding what you want often fraught with stress and anxiety, look for the specials to spark a little joy. By hunting around,…
