I’ll let you in on a little secret; up till not so very long ago I always thought that carrot cake wasn’t real. That it didn’t really exist other then in a stupid joke that I heard when I was a kid. The joke was about a bunny going to a bakery asking for a [...]

Pavlova with pomegranate

You did not think I would get rid of my cranberry sauce so easily now did you? It’s actually quite funny how you sometimes start baking and then have leftovers that turn out to be made into something far superior then your first recipe. I had one of those days today; it was about time [...]

I have visions of salads… lovely green salads with maybe just a tiny bit of nuts and a little bit of salty blue cheese and a gorgeous dressing. Salads that make me feel light and most of all healthy. Salads that give me the feeling that I am on the right track, that I am [...]

Isn’t it funny how certain foods can transport you right back into your childhood? When I was a little kid I already loved to bake, but we never really got much further then the standard (but tasty!) apple pie and this Arretje Nof.. Now as far as I have been able to tell, this is [...]

Noooo!!! I can hear you exclaim out loud in utter confusion… Did I not say yesterday that I was gonna be good and losing weight and blablabla?? True, so true… but you see.. this was already made when I wrote that. And I am not gonna eat it all myself! What’re you thinking? Ofcourse I [...]

Delicious and moist

Do you have certain ingredients that you simply cannot resist? The type of ingredient you see in the markets or supermarket and just HAVE to have? I’m pretty terrible when it comes to things like that, so I tend to end up in a lot of cases with ingredients that have no immediate need or [...]

orange and poppyseed bundt cake

As soon as I open our stock pantry I feel like closing the door right back again. There is so much junk in there that it scares me to start organizing. Going through the contents however I do find a large jar of poppy seed… Remember I told you I would probably have to give [...]

Chocolate cake with blueberries and blackberries

Technically this is of course not a blue chocolate cake but this was our blue version of the ‘Chocolate Jewels” photoshoot where you previously saw that amazing Strawberry chocolate cake. I am just very glad that Alex does not bake me cakes like this every week or I would be in a lot more trouble [...]

Strawberry chocolate devils food cake

I consider myself to be a positive person… No matter how hard life can sometimes be, I always try and see the bright side of things… It’s been a trying year in that respect with first Tom’s grandma passing and then his mum, just a few months later. Slowly but surely however, we picked up [...]

macarons

When I was invited by Jenn from Jenn Cuisine to take part in the 7 links project I said yes without thinking long and hard about it. I’ve been blogging now for three years (wow, has it really been that long??) and blogging in itself has brought me so many things. New friends and a [...]

Chocolate fudge cakes

After spending way to much time away from the stove I figured it was time for some proper baking and what better recipes to try then Donna Hay’s? I love her recipes and have already quite a stack of favorites that I turn to time after time (the chocolate mousse recipe is just too good!! [...]
