This week, I set myself the challenge of trying to make the ultimate cookie (although calling it “cookie” seems wrong): the French macaron! I’d never made these before, and I spent quite a few days researching the process and watching many Youtube videos to ensure they would come out at least somewhat decent. All of the […]

This week, the nectarines were on sale at my local supermarket (a kilo for one euro), so of course I took advantage of that! When me and my friends made sangria on Friday, we added one nectarine, which was very tasty, and I figured I could use some of the rest of them for a nice, […]

My midterms are over! Especially this last week was quite stressful, with the deadline for my research paper on Friday. But I made it, and I’m quite pleased with how my essay turned out. Now it’s just waiting for the grade… I hate that part. Anyway, now that the stress has subsided, I finally have time to […]

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” […]
