Saturday bliss…
My Saturday bliss started with bottling a batch of preservative free Heffeweizen at The Beer Shed, followed by a scrumptious burger at Paul’s famous burgers.
Pumpkin Pie
It seemed like the weather for pie. I remembered my mum’s pumpkin pie from when I was little and thought how nice it would be to make a non-vegan version. Mum’s recipe was vegan and was delicious; so how much more delicious with eggs and cream!! The recipe I used was from joy of baking.com… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie

Hot cross buns
I had a somewhat belated craving for hot cross buns yesterday, a carry over from the last few weeks addiction. Do try this one, it is the most tender version I’ve ever made at home. They look a little rustic, as I was a little hasty in shaping them, getting excited about eating them! I… Continue reading Hot cross buns
Grasse to Paris

Somebody please give me some tips for next time because I thought it was trashy, touristy, dirty and awful.… Continue reading Grasse to Paris

Where to get great coffee in Darwin
This is not a comprehensive list, just the start of a list of the best places to get a good coffee in Darwin. The criteria? The coffee should be full of flavour, the milk silky and not burnt. That screeching sound? It sounds bad for a reason. If you can scoop your milk into a… Continue reading Where to get great coffee in Darwin
Darwin Dreaming
As soon as the balmy sea air at Mindil Beach hit my face, I relaxed. Sustained by treats from the stalls at the Mindil Markets, there was too much to choose from; Indonesian, Thai, Malaysian, and Roadkill stalls all competed for my attention. Do try the Ice Kachang dessert if you can find it. Enthralled… Continue reading Darwin Dreaming
