August has been a busy month with both highs and lows, and as a result, I haven’t been very active online (although I did start a TikTok last week – I’m @bookbakeblog on there). I also have done very little baking over the past month, apart from a birthday cake for my boyfriend, but today […]

About two weeks ago I posted this strawberry meringue recipe in which I told you about the bucketload of strawberries I bought. After that recipe, I still had a whole lot of them left, so I decided to do one of my favourite things in the world (at least when it comes to baking): make […]

Strawberry season is upon us! It’s perhaps a little early still, but my local supermarket had a “two for 5 euros” thing going on so I caved and bought almost a kilo worth of strawberries.

I love baking my own cookies, as is evidenced by the many cookie recipes on this blog, but there are some mass-produced cookies that I find very hard to pass up on and those are the Subway cookies! There’s something about them that’s just irresistible, so whenever I get a sandwich at Subway, I usually […]

It’s finally getting chilly outside again and I am feeling all of the autumn vibes – I’m even looking forward to Christmas already! The changes in seasons also means a change in my baking. While I’m all about the light, fruity bakes in summer and spring, the colder months have me baking up a storm […]

Chocolate is delicious – we all know that. But one of the things I love most about chocolate is how you can combine it with so many other flavours and make it taste even better. I love experimenting with different brownie flavours because it’s pretty much impossible to get it wrong: add almost anything to a […]
