Quick Buttercream Icing
This past weekend we celebrated our daughter’s first birthday. Being a pastry chef and general foodie, I always feel the pressure to do something really amazing when it comes to the food at a party. I felt like I wanted her cake to be something special but also delicious to eat, after all this would be her first taste of cake!
Pear and Dark Chocolate Loaf Cake
It’s that time of the year when it’s getting cooler and I think Autumn is sneaking up on us. I must say, I don’t mind. There’s something so magical about the falling leaves and the change of season, it’s the start of the time of year I crave more rich flavours, like this cake. These days my life is all about making things more simple. Before I was a mum, I couldn’t have imagined the way my multi-tasking skills would be put to the test on a daily basis. So, like a few other things in my life, baking has become something of a luxury, me-time, often mid-night, activity. Sometimes I just so enjoy the quiet after a long day with my little one, that I simply can’t switch off and just savour the moment…

Mixed Cheese Tortellini with Red Pepper Pesto
It’s almost the weekend and seeing as I’m on a roll posting more regularly, I’d love to share this beautiful recipe with you. I’m not usually very big on Valentines day, but what I do love is make my hubby a special meal. This dish is guaranteed to be a show-stopper. What’s more romantic than putting so much love into a dish and making your own hand-filled tortellini!
Panzanella Salad
The reason I love this salad is that it’s simple to make and it consists of some of my favourite ingredients… Fresh buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, capers, red onion – how can theses delicious flavours not create something awe-inspiring together!
