It’s not often that I cook with duck, despite it featuring in a recipe post over the summer (thanks to my mum). But when I saw duck breast at Bones and Blades, I just had to get some. It’s an expensive cut of meat, and so it really was a treat to try out this…

Baked Peaches with Honey and Rosemary
I’m so sorry for the week-long break between posts, but as previously mentioned, things are only going to get busier from here on out. Truth be told, I’ve not been busy with University work too much as of late, but I have been enjoying some downtime, and making things that are not new (and therefore…
Pavlova
I’d never made a pavlova before this. Meringues, sure. But never a full-blown, giant disc of marshmallow-y meringue. The risks are just so high. Turn the oven just 10 degrees too hot and your meringue will crack and collapse. Whisk the eggs white at too high a speed, and large air bubble can form which…
Mixed Berry Smoothie Bowl
Alright. Christmas is officially done. My Christmas cards have been recycled, my fridge is clear of most Christmas-based foods, and now I’m trying to use up the final remnants of Christmas chocolate, while also focusing on clearing out the rest of my fridge. And with that, it’s time for some healthy breakfast options. Well, one…
Cranberry & White Chocolate Blondies
I’ve given you brownies in multiple forms. Now you get to have a Christmas-inspired blondie. What is a blondie, you ask? A blondie is simply a brownie without cocoa powder. Some recipes use white chocolate in the batter, others do not. I have omitted white chocolate from the batter because it is added to the…
Lemon Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
The one thing I always remember about supermarkets in the US is the sugar cookies. Every bakery section within a supermarket, big or small, had a box of frosted sugar cookies. The dessert-fiend inside me loved it. Even if we didn’t buy any, I loved (and still love) perusing the bakery sections of US supermarkets….
Sauteed Apple and Brussels Sprouts
I’ve posted a lot of sugar-filled recipes recently, all in the name of Christmas. But we can’t forget the humble vegetables that grace *most* tables during the Christmas period. Carrots, parsnips, swede, and Brussels sprouts. I love Brussels sprouts, although I know that wasn’t always the case. I am sure I went along with the…
Leftover Turkey Sandwich
You know the drill. The leftovers from Christmas dinner get separated into various containers, and put in the fridge. The carcass goes into the freezer, or immediately into a large pot of water to make stock. The discussion begins about what to make with the leftovers. There’s always the classics: turkey soup, turkey curry, or…
Cranberry & Orange Shortbread Biscuits
I went to the supermarket the other day, and got excited by fresh cranberries (I mean, it is the season), because I have either a) never noticed them before or b) never had them in my supermarket before. Normally we just have dried cranberries (“craisins”), which I use in my homemade granola sometimes. Anyhow, I…
Chilli & Tomato Jam
I’ve always had a thing for chilli jam. It’s so versatile, and can add depth and a kick to any dish. It’s great in a sandwich, on a burger, or with cheese and crackers. I’ve always got chillies and tomatoes in the house, and sometimes I don’t get much use out of them before they…
Lime & Garlic Chicken with Avocado
It’s been a while since I’ve done a recipe from my mum’s magazine clippings, so it was long overdue! This is a recipe I’ve always been intrigued by, because I love avocado and chicken (and lime and garlic). And while it’s meant to be a barbecue recipe, I baked it in the oven, and it…
Spelt Raspberry Pancakes
Having made the blackberry drop scones over the summer, I’ve been hunkering to adapt the recipe for different flavours. I finally had my chance one weekend, when I had some raspberries and yoghurt to use up. I’ve called this recipe pancakes, because they are very much like American pancakes, but it is essentially the same…
