It’s that time of year again – lemon season! The branches of our lemon tree are literally sagging under the weight of all the lemons, so it seemed like the perfect time to do a little lemony baking while the baby snoozed. These zesty lemon melting moments live up to their name: they’re zesty, tangy…
As much as I love making decadent treats, some of my favourite things to make are based around the desserts of Kiwi childhoods – jelly and ice cream. After all, the best desserts don’t need to be complicated – all you really need are good quality ingredients and great flavour combinations. Now you’ve all seen…
While I’m sure you’ve already heard the news on Facebook and Instagram, it’s time to make it ‘blog official’ and introduce the newest member of our little family – the delightful Thea. The past couple of months have been an absolute blur of all kinds of weird, wonderful and (above all) memorable moments for our…

Not only is it nice knowing there’s a homemade treat stashed away to relax with for afternoon tea, but it totally takes the pressure off when you know someone’s popping…
There are a whole lot of things that stand out about our time in South Africa last year – meeting Kevin’s wonderful extended family, road tripping through the South African countryside and (of course) every moment of our dream safari. But one thing I didn’t expect to stand out so much were rusks. We were…
With our new little arrival due in less than two weeks (eek!), I’m busy filling the freezer with all kinds of meals to help get us through those first few weeks with a newborn. But it’s not just dinners I’m trying to get sorted – I want some baked treats stashed away in there too!…
