The Fluffiest Cinnamon Sugar Rolls

I’ve got to admit, I’m quite a hoarder when it comes to hard-to-find ingredients. The problem with food shopping for me is that I always buy more than I should because, you know, I am utterly positive that I will never find it anywhere else. I bring sneak it back home and then find a […]

Raspberry Yoghurt Teacake

I miss blogging. I miss blogging a lot. It’s not that I’m not baking. It’s just that I’m not baking anything new. I’ve been on my feet for hours at a stretch; I can hardly feel them anymore. I’m not complaining – rather, I’m enjoying every bit of it. Nothing beats working for myself, nothing […]

To fulfill this long standing hankering, I found the perfect […]

Rosemary and Garlic Oil Focaccia

I made bread! Well it’s not really news, and definitely not something that I haven’t attempted before (yep, so what if it’s just banana bread!). But this time, I’m really excited to report that I made bread: fluffy (oh yes, I conquered volume!), white, soft and wonderfully chewy bread. A golden top brushed with garlic infused […]

How to Make Brownies

A couple of years ago, I made my first batch of brownies. I was astonished by how easy they were to make and how perfect the gooey inside and the crusty outside turned out to be. Brownies can be made any flavour you like. You could add to the brownie batter caramel, butterscotch, Oreo, chocolate […]
