When I bake, I usually do it on the weekends, when I don’t have to work, but a while ago I was at the office and I got the irrepressible urge to bake something. I only work mornings, so when I got home I still had plenty of time to whip something up. However, I […]
You know what I hate about the dark days of winter? Exactly that: the darkness. It’s so hard to take good pictures of the things I bake! Take these scones, for example. Sure, they still look scrumptious, but these pictures do have a bit of a gloomy feel to them, don’t they? I could always […]
First recipe of 2020! Last week, I posted my Bake It List with ten things I definitely want to try baking this year. At first, I planned on putting these muffins on that list as well, but I refrained in the end since the list is mostly meant for trying new things, and I’ve made […]
In 2019, I didn’t do a whole lot of baking compared to other years. Especially near the end of the year, I was busy with other things, like finishing writing my novel (more on that later this month!). This year, though, I’m motivated to do tons of baking again! Since starting my blog, I have […]
I love experimenting with cookies. I’ve got my basic cookie recipe down by now, so that makes it very easy to just try different flavours and discover new favourites. A few weeks ago, I made these chocolate chips cookies with cinnamon and pecan nuts. I was really in the mood for something autumnal, so I […]
Nearly every year, my parents and I go on holiday to the same small village on the coast of Normandy, France: Anneville-sur-Mer (once chosen for its name). This year, we went in the first half of September and it was as wonderful as ever! It’s one of my favourite places to be: in just a […]
I wasn’t planning on baking a blueberry pie at all, but then the fresh blueberries were on sale at my supermarket and I “accidentally” bought over half a kilo of them. Only when I got home did I wonder what on earth I was going to do with half a kilo of blueberries. The answer […]
Summer is the perfect time for fruity flavours! I love lemon all year round, but there’s something about the summer that makes me love it just that little bit more. Last week, I felt like baking something lemony and my mind went to a drizzle cake straightaway. A lemon drizzle cake is delicious, but I […]
I first became aware of the existence of chocolate-covered strawberry brownies when my friend Inge from Of Wonderland shared a picture of them on Twitter. They looked amazing and when I “had” to bake something for my best friend’s birthday party later that week, I knew exactly what I was going to bake. Brownies are the […]
Who doesn’t love a good muffin? I used to make them all the time and I was under the impression this was still one of my most-baked things, but apparently the last time I baked muffins was in June! So, high time for another muffin recipe. My supermarket had a sale on blueberries last week […]
