Best summer desserts (without using the oven!)

Hasn’t this summer been the best? The long days, sunny weather and never-ending heat have certainly made this summer one to remember. The only trouble is it’s been way too hot to actually bake. As much as I’ve wanted something sweet in the house, the thought of turning on the oven has put me off...

Lemon bundt cake

Sometimes you just need a cake in the house, right? That’s exactly how this cake came to be – the baby was sleeping and I just needed something tangy and sweet to go along with my cup of tea. First up: you’ll need a bundt pan. I only recently picked one up and while you can find all...

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...

Apple and berry is one of those combinations that are almost guaranteed to please pretty much everyone – particularly during these cooler winter months. There’s just something about it that makes you want to snuggle up on the couch, right? While apple and berry crumble is a ‘go-to’ for lots of people over winter, crumble...

Black Forest Tim Tam parfaits

Kirsten — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 00:55:58 +0000

With the weather cooling down and a newborn on the horizon, I’m spending more time snuggling up at home than ever. And you know what? It’s actually pretty amazing. While not needing to set an alarm, having the option of wearing pyjamas all day and watching the rain rather than trekking through it are all...

The following blog is not sponsored – I simply love what the Blind Foundation do and want to encourage you to lend a hand this Bikkie Day. It’s always a bonus when you can make a difference just by whipping up a batch of biscuits – while it’s great having a full biscuit jar tucked...
