Sometimes when the world all gets too much, I like to bake. It gives me comfort. Like when I think back to all the time I invested in Game of Thrones and the finale was a trash fire, I made cookies. Or when I realised a Hemsworth was wasted by being married to that...
Sweets & Snacks Recipes
Orange Blossom Chia Pudding
Yeah, yeah, its chia pudding, but I’m not trying to win Masterchef here, I’m just trying to give you healthy stuff that tastes good. What can I say, you get the seed/liquid balance right on these guys and you’re home and hosed. Then you can just play around with...
Choc Cherry Brownies
If Warrant had tried my Cherry Brownies back in the 90’s they definitely would have written a song about them, not a stupid pie. Did I just give away my age?
CHEATS COCONUT YOGHURT
Coconut yoghurt is bloody delicious. My addiction to the stuff is real. Have they put crack in it? The way its priced here in Dubai, I think they might have. Anyway, I’ve tried a couple of times to make the stuff using coconut milk, probiotic capsules and patience,...
Chai Spiced Almond Butter Loaf
Yeah, yeah, I know nut butter is delicious straight from the jar, but have you tried it in cake form? Nah, neither had I until I knocked together this little beauty. It rates highly on my AF rating meter. It’s tasty AF, healthy AF and easy AF to make. So use your loaf...
Chai Latte Muffins
Yes I know I’ve named these muffins after a sorority cheerleaders Starbucks order, but these bites of yum are far from basic. Get in ma belly…
Cappuccino Cookies
Coffee. I love the stuff. It smells awesome, tastes awesome and my morning cup makes me feel like I’ve got my shit together. I don’t, but it makes me feel like I do. So it really was a no-brainer to make it into a cookie flavour so I could have my coffee and eat it...
Bounty Bites
Surprise! Easter is almost upon us. It was hard not to notice though seeing as all the Easter paraphernalia has been in the shops since the fat man and his reindeers cleared out. So on the topic of Easter, lets talk about Cadbury Creme Eggs. They are repulsive. That...
BANANA, BLUEBERRY & COCONUT CAKE
Dubai doesn’t have the tropical temps to grow bananas, so they’re shipped in. This is unfortunate, because these shipped in bananas taste like arse. I literally only buy bananas here to let them get too ripe, then use them in baking. It’s the only way they are edible....
Bakewell Slice
So this treat is traditionally a tart with a pastry crust, jammy layer and almondy frangipane. Delicious. Then they go and ruin it by covering it with that sickly white fondant icing and top it with a glacé cherry so it looks like a British girls boob in the middle of...
APRICOT CRUMBLE SLICE
I don’t know about you, but I’ll go in the pantry and I’ll have 5 bags of something and I truly have no idea how that came about. Like, am I high when I go to the store? Have I got the munchies? And it’s always something you don’t use much, in this case, I had a...
