Banana bread, the cake that deceives legions with its supposed healthy facade. I love a good banana bread or cake, and whipping one up also takes almost no time. I made a few loaves on Sunday morning for a friend who had ordered some off me, and my banana-bread obsessed husband begged for one for … Continue reading The Instagram Banana Bread

Milk Boosting Apple Raspberry Oat Slices
I recently posted a picture of my freezer stash of expressed breast milk on my Instagram stories and have received many questions from other breastfeeding mamas on how I managed it. Now, I've seen bigger stashes, and I must also remind you mamas of something my cousin told me - the fresher the better, so … Continue reading Milk Boosting Apple Raspberry Oat Slices
My favourite lemon loaf
I have made this particular lemon loaf many times over, and just realised last week that I haven't shared the recipe on here! I started trying to find THE lemon loaf recipe I think around the time I started this blog in 2011, and have been tweaking this recipe for years until I found the … Continue reading My favourite lemon loaf
Orange Almond Cake
There's nothing like a zesty citrus cake with a cup of coffee for tea (or breakfast) to make you feel aliiiive! Hehe saw a tweet from Simon Holland that said "Once you realize that you don't need a special occasion to buy a cake, the second part of your life begins." Yes, I completely 100% … Continue reading Orange Almond Cake
Chocolate Blackberry Cake
I baked this cake twice last week, the first time as an experiment for a friend's birthday and clearly I considered it a win so I made another cake for my mother-in-law's birthday that coming weekend. The chocolate cake recipe used for this yields a big amount of batter and therefore a very tall cake … Continue reading Chocolate Blackberry Cake

This is because I'm not entirely pleased with how week 2's Korean Beef bowls turned out and I need to tweak the recipe a bit before sharing. This one, though, this is a … Continue reading Greek Chicken and Tabouleh Meal Prep
Cravings for Chipotle
I made a huge mistake when I went to the States for work last year - I went to a Chipotle Mexican Grill branch for lunch. I remember suffering from a particularly awful bout of jetlag, was close to being sick at one point but I just needed some food inside my belly before I … Continue reading Cravings for Chipotle
Brownies Ratio Analysis
I work in an investment fund and we look at financial ratios and other boring stuff all day long. So when I walked into the office with a box of brownies and said "I couldn't sleep last night so I was experimenting with ratios -" before I could finish my sentence, my colleagues gave incredulous … Continue reading Brownies Ratio Analysis
Ricotta Apple Cake
I was meant to do a bit of a brownie experiment this weekend - had planned it out perfectly except for one thing... I forgot to buy eggs. What the hoohay? So I had only 3 eggs on hand and a hankering to bake this evening and quickly pivoted from the brownie experiment plan to … Continue reading Ricotta Apple Cake
Tomatoes, mozzarella and toast!
I've been seeing a lot of pictures of tomatoes on burrata on Instagram and Pinterest lately, and I'm not sure if it's just having a revival at the moment or the interwebz is reading me again. But after days and days of seeing variations of these flavours every time I check my social media, I … Continue reading Tomatoes, mozzarella and toast!
