Baked Vanilla Yoghurt

I’ve had this recipe of baked yoghurt tucked away in my recipe file for the longest time. Maybe because it’s so simple, I didn’t come around to making it. It’s just three ingredients (if you don’t count vanilla), takes barely any prep time and tastes so good, especially with fresh fruit. All you have to […]

Chocolate Walnut Mud Cake

Over the past few days I’ve been looking for a good chocolate cake recipe. As I looked through my cookbooks and scoured the internet, nothing seemed to appeal to me. I was looking for a recipe that was cakey, and silky delicate, all at the same time. Something fudgy and gooey, but yet slightly airy. […]

Chocolate Chip Muffins

I had a sudden chocolate craving yesterday and that gave me the perfect reason to break into my new bag of dark chocolate. I needed something that was very chocolatey (naturally), that would be put together real fast and that was new to experiment with. Thumbing through my books, a lot of the cakes looked […]

Cinnamon Sugar Churros

Have you ever tried churros? No? Okay, you must leave everything you’re doing right now and run to the kitchen. Do what it takes to get into the kitchen and get down to making these – right this moment. These little sticks of dough blew my mind. Awfully easy to make and even easier to polish […]

Chocolate Hazelnut Marbled Cake

Before I get to the delicious cake, I want to tell you about the big news I was holding on to a while ago. If you’re following me on Twitter or Facebook, you might have heard me gushing about finally signing ‘the contract’.No, it’s not some corporate contract boohockey or a typical 9-5 job. This contract is my entry […]

Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips and Crystallised Ginger

Doesn’t everyone just love a thick slice of banana bread? And coupled with a glass of cold milk or a dollop of whipped cream, it makes for an offer that is hard to turn down. But what if it has crystallised ginger and a good handful of chocolate chips thrown in? Yes. Just as I […]
