A few weeks ago our friend Ang requested that I make a recipe that uses persimmons because she loves them so much. To be honest, I'd never (knowingly) had a persimmon until today...and I think I love them too. This galette is super easy and highlights the persimmons perfectly. I originally shot the galette WITHOUT…
Desserts
MTC x Califia Mocha Slice
I’m not vegan, but I have a bit of a strange obsession with vegan desserts. My theory is that it has something to do with the texture of cold coconut oil, but who really knows. When I was approached by Califia Farms to create a recipe using their Mocha Noir Cold Brew Coffee, I was…
Leftover Citrus Slice
This is basically a key lime pie but instead of using strictly limes I use whatever random citrus I have laying around the house. This time I had a quarter grapefruit, 1 lemon and 3 limes. That's probably the best part about this recipe because almost everyone has a few lemons or limes sitting around.…
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake
Valentines day is a thing in America, not so much in Australia... That being said, I think it's safe to say that cake is a thing in every country. And it's definitely a thing when you have a heart shaped bunt cake pan from Williams-Sonoma. Makes 1 12x8 pan- to make for a bunt pan, simply…
Nutella Rocky Road Cookies
The other day I made what some would call a bad decision. I googled the list of every single international and national food holiday, and took the time to put every single one of them (with the exception of a few weird ones...) into my calendar. This, my friends, is how I learned about world…
Double Chocolate Cake
One of the main issues I have with creating content for you lovely people is that I simple do not have enough space in my stomach or fridge to continue cooking and cooking and cooking and eating and eating and eating. This is the reason I don't have a chocolate cake recipe...until now. It sounds like…
Pavlova with Mango & Passionfruit
I've been in Australia for two years now, I've eaten countless chicken schnitzels (guessing well over 200), eaten dozens of meat pies, made all different types of slices, made hundreds of sausage rolls, eaten lots of fairy bread but haven't made pavlova..until last week. Pavlova was something that scared me a bit. It looks extremely…
Simple Sugar Cookies
The ultimate Christmas cookies are the ones you buy at the grocery store that have little holiday appropriate shapes in them, if you're American you should know what I'm talking about. They generally come on a paper tray, in precut little coins ready to go in the oven. They are F*!$^#G AMAZING (keeping things PG...).…
Salted Caramel Sticky Buns
I would like to start by clarifying something. Sticky buns, cinnamon rolls and cinnamon scrolls, ARE ALL THE SAME THING. Cool, now that we have that out of the way we can get to the important stuff, like salted caramel. Last weekend we went away with Lilydale and met some awesome people. Not just your…
Blueberry Buckle
This is a recipe from my dad's family. They got it from a friend they visited up in New Hampshire when they were kids. It is awesome. It's one of those dishes that you might as well double it and make two because it only takes ten minutes and it's gone, especially if my dad…
