Sugar Crunch Cookies
I love beautifully decorated Christmas cookies. Wait, let me re-phrase that. I love the IDEA of beautifully decorated Christmas cookies. But making them myself? Not so much. I have made them in the past, but after the amount of time it takes to make and bake the...

Smashed Eggs on Toast
Smashed avocado is so 2016. Smashed eggs on toast are where it’s at now. I have posted these babies on Instagram a few times now and it seems that you love eggs on toast just as much as I do. It has become a fast favourite lunch option when I am working from home...

Traditional ANZAC biscuits
I love my hometown of Melbourne. In particular, I love Melbourne history. One of my favourite books on the subject is called Capital (af) by Kristin Otto, and it details Melbourne life between 1901 and 1927 when it was the capital city of Australia. One of the most...
