Ahh the winter blues, or should I say, the winter flu? There’s nothing worse than feeling ill on a chilly Melbourne Sunday, so it’s best to fill your body with nutrients and eat foods that help boost your immune system. If you’re one of the lucky ones living in a sunny place, don’t worry – […]
YUM, these are so good! This recipe was actually substituted from my Mother’s chocolate and banana muffins recipe (containing lots of sugar/butter) and I switched the original ingredients with healthier options such as coconut oil and rice malt syrup. To be honest, these taste just as good if not better – especially knowing they’re guilt […]
Mmm Cherry Ripe – the perfect winter chocolate. I’ve been suggested to create this a few times and finally decided to give it a go. As I have mentioned previously (and in my About Me), I have quite an unhealthy obsession with chocolate. Cherry Ripe is one of those bars that when you begin with […]
Oh Melbourne, glorious sun one day and thrashing winds the next. You never know what weather to expect in this lovely city I reside in, however whatever the temperature I can be sure of one thing: it is never EVER too cold for ice cream. Hence my latest creation made with a fresh peppermint twist. […]
Since I was a child, my memories of Easter have always involved devouring one main sweet that is placed inside the small triangle at the tip of the food pyramid and labelled as ‘Eat Sparingly.’ If you haven’t guessed what that is yet, I am talking about CHOCOLATE! Yes, that smooth, succulent, sensual sweet you […]
As the cool Melbourne breeze sweeps the city, the desserts are becoming warmer and warmer… Ahh the joyous feeling when you curl up on the couch watching bad TV (Kardashians anyone?) with a cosy blanket, a cup of tea and a small sweet. It was 25 degrees in Melbourne today so I may be getting […]
For anyone who read my ‘about’ section you would be familiar with my unhealthy obsession with Nutella. The hazelnuts combined in chocolate tastes like tiny clouds of heaven swiftly melting at the tip of your tongue while you grip your spoon and dig for more. I once read that 3 teaspoons of Nutella is equivalent […]
Mmmm peppermint. I love it in biscuits, cakes, ice cream, mousse and anything else it may be included in. The fresh taste always leaves me delightfully satisfied and I can never get enough, resulting in the disappearances of my entire slice in a record 3 hours… woopsie! My chocolate peppermint slice is a light and […]
Today at work my lovely friend introduced me to sweet and salty popcorn (which is ah-mazing of course), and I had this wonderful thought of creating popcorn clusters mixed with caramel… because why not?! They are definitely not the prettiest of desserts; but they taste divine. Just a warning – these are extremely addictive! But a […]
OK, this is my new favourite recipe! I say that a lot… but really this one tastes so so bad for you (making it so so good) it baffles me how rich and delicious it is! I made these for my Italian grandmother yesterday and they were a big hit! Melbourne is quickly becoming chilly this […]
