Chocolate orange cheesecake brownies — doesn’t that combination of words just make your mouth water like there’s no tomorrow? That’s what happened to me when I encountered those words on Facebook, and the picture that came with them didn’t help either! I’ve been following Sorted Food on Youtube for a while now, and they keep amazing me […]

Today my aunt was having a high tea for her birthday, and I thought it would be nice to bake something sweet and simple to bring with me. I didn’t feel like baking my usual brownies, but I thought something like it would be perfect, so I made blondies! I’d never made blondies (“blond brownies” […]

I really missed her, and am glad she’s back again so we can get back to watching (Disney) films, drinking tea and talking for ages.

I love lemon. I’m pretty sure it’s my favourite flavour for just about anything: sweets, ice cream, tea… It’s also a great flavour to add to things like salmon or chicken. And then, of course, you’ve got the baked goods. If you go back through the recipes I’ve posted on here you’ll notice I add […]

About two and a half years ago me and (most of) my high school friends graduated high school together, and after the summer of 2011 we all went to university. We’re all majoring in completely different things and we’re all very different people, but we vowed to stay friends after high school. Back then, my […]
