These past two weeks have been stressful, work is hectic, and my personal life is hectic, and then amid all the chaos, my mother decided to visit! Like I said, stressful! But I am back, I missed you guys, and I missed taking beautiful photos of food and sharing them with you. To kick things […]
Jalebi Ice Cream Sandwiches
I feel like I come up with the strangest desserts, but somehow they just work.This is one of those times, sweet, crispy, and syrupy jalebi a classic Indian sweet has been upgraded to an ice cream sandwich with crushed pistachios and a touch of gold leaf. These hit the spot, especially in this heat! Here […]
Doughnuts dipped in chocolate with roasted peanuts
Forget all the fancy-schmancy stuff these are the only doughnuts you’ll ever need. Dipped in melted chocolate and toasted peanuts, I mean can you name a better combination? I prefer not using ganache because I live for that chocolate crunch that comes with dipping your doughnut into plain old chocolate and waiting for it to […]
Crêpes
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it! I made these French crêpes the other night and gave my husband one with a spread of peanut butter inside, HUGE MISTAKE! Because apparently, they were amazing, especially with the peanut butter and then I had to make another batch just […]

Drizzled in a gooey white chocolate ganache which I tinted green using food colouring powder – I would avoid using gel-based colourants as these may seize the chocolate and who […]

The addition of salted pretzels and snickers however managed to balance it out so beautifully. The sweet and salty flavour […]
Chocolate Mousse Swiss Roll
This has got to be one of the most requested recipes I’ve received since lock down. Homemade swiss rolls are easier than you think and my husband in particular who sadly does not have an insatiable sweet tooth like his better half has given me strict instructions not to share this with anyone else 😅. […]

Have you ever had Carrot Halwa? If you’ve answered no, you’re missing out! And if you answered yes! Well then that automatically makes us besties 😅. I’ve only ever made carrot cake twice in my life, you can find that recipe on my blog. However i’ve been trying for months to add some “Oomph” to […]
Coffee and Condensed Milk Lamingtons
An absolute classic array of flavours I’m no stranger to lamingtons, some would say I’m a bit obsessed. So far I’ve created the classic lamington version all doused in chocolate sauce and of course a strawberry lamington cake which is fresh and light and just perfection, next was my stack of chocolate lamington pancakes which […]
