15 min chocolate cake (egg free)
Just when you thought a homemade cake is a luxury you don’t have time for. I’ve trialled and tested this recipe with a two week newborn (and a mummy brain!). This is one chocolate cake you can make in a…
Lemon cake with cream cheese icing
I’m convinced that lemon cake is one of the most underrated cake flavours. Especially slathered with a generous amount of lemon curd cream cheese icing. When it’s lemon season here in New Zealand, I think of this cake. The recipe…
Avocado chocolate mousse (keto-friendly)
Usually I’m not one to explore keto recipes. After all – if you treat yourself, you might as well do it properly! But after my gestational diabetes life began, I started to appreciate and take note of the nutritional value…

Christmas Meringue
The Christmas holiday season is upon us, and it’s time for potlucks and gatherings with family and friends. Whether you’re tasked with making desserts or cooking for the whole party, these meringues are a perfect way to finish off a…
Puff pastry galettes
When it comes to creating impressive and delicious brunches without spending hours in the kitchen, puff pastry galettes are a game-changer. This is one of the recipes I always have up my sleeve. These golden, flaky delights are not only…
Boba tea basque cheesecake
It sure took me long enough to appreciate the basque cheesecake. For one – there is minimal cleanup. Homebakers rejoice! In fact for a normal basque cheesecake, you can prepare it all in one bowl. Second, there’s no need to…
