CHEWY LEMON & WHITE CHOC COOKIES (GF)
These chewy little morsels are dangerously addictive—but surprisingly not too indulgent. Made with ground almonds, coconut sugar, and a hint of lemon, they have a delicate balance of nuttiness and citrus brightness. The addition of white chocolate takes them over the top, creating a treat that's crisp on the outside and soft within. Perfect with coffee or as a quick sweet fix, these cookies are easy to make and even easier to devour.
CHOC OATY COCONUT COOKIES (GF)
Another day another cookie – I had hoped to photograph and stack of these chocolate beauties but there was only one left by the time I got there. Here’s my big girl cupping the last one which I swiftly ate.
DARK CHOCOLATE, PECAN & CHERRY SLAB
Happy New Year from chilly San Francisco. We’re lucky enough to be adventuring here again visiting family (while also longing for some Kiwi heat!). Here’s a delicious recipe for a simple, no-bake chocolate biscuit slab. We devoured it Christmas day but it’s so good we’re making it again for New Years.
MY FAVOURITE GOOEY CARAMEL SLICE
As a child caramel slice was my absolute favourite and think that’s where my passion for baking took off. To this day it’s my number one go to treat food. I’ve recently been home to mum and dad’s where mum stocks the pantry with baking ingredients for me to go wild – and that I did!
THE PERFECT BROWN SUGAR & WHITE CHOC BROWNIE
When it’s cold outside I bake brownies. I love desserts of all kind, but nothing can cheer me up like a brownie and a hot cuppa.
Inspired by a Kokako cafe recipe shared by a dear friend, these brownies are intensely chocolatey – almost pure unadulterated fudge, topped off with the papery, flaky top that is the signature of the best brownies.
LEEK, RICOTTA & FENNEL TART
1 tbsp olive oil
2 leeks, chopped (white parts only)
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
1 1/2 tsp each fennel seeds
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups mixed greens, roughly chopped (e.g. herbs, spinach)
CHOCOLATE HUMMUS
Who wants a recipe for Chocolate Hummus? I first tried it at Trader Joes on one of Blair’s work trips to Seattle and since travel again is a loooong way off I thought I’d create my own delicious version.
