September is over and it is now officially autumn (has been for over a week, but shush). I don’t really mind autumn – quite like it actually – but the rain that’s coming with it isn’t exactly my favourite thing in the world. Oh, who am I kidding, this is the Netherlands – it always rains here. […]

Those of you who follow me on Twitter may have noticed that I attempted to make French macarons again this weekend. I did so once before, in June last year, but although I did get a couple of cookies out of it (and they had the little feet!) I wasn’t completely satisfied back then. They […]

Autumn has definitely arrived now in the Netherlands, and with that has come the first wave of colds and flu. Everyone seems to be ill, as was I this past week. I stayed home from class on Monday and Wednesday, and my lovely dad came over to bring me some groceries, so I could still, […]

It was one of my best friend’s birthday earlier this week, so I wanted to bake something nice for her. Mojitos are my favourite cocktails and although I’m […]

Greetings, my blogging friends! It’s the end of July, which means it’s time for another monthly recap. By the time you’re reading this I’ll be in sunny Malta for a two week holiday with a few of my best friends. I’ve all been looking forward to this holiday for about two months and now it’s almost […]

You, my dear readers, have by now probably picked up on the fact that I’ve got quite the passion for both books and baking (no way, really?!), which is why I was immediately fascinated when Shari’s Berries approached me about a cool graphic they’d made. It’s a book and dessert pairing guide, including some of my favourite novels […]

A few weeks ago I made a post about five of my favourite bookish social media accounts, and today I figured I’d do the same thing for some of my favourite social media accounts related to baking and gorgeous baked goodies. I love gawking at these Instagram accounts or YouTube videos, and they often provide […]
