Chocolate Chip & Honeycomb Cookies

August 5, 2019

I’m definitely a doomsday preper styled holiday maker. I feel the urgency to eat everything in the house, clean profusely & spring clean in the days leading up to a trip - even though sometimes I am away for a night. On a whim to finish the honeycomb at home before flying out, I decided to chuck it in my chocolate chip cookie recipe from the cafe.

I have a confession to make. I am helplessly addicted to peanut butter. So when Reese’s peanut butter chips were on sale at the supermarket I took them home to whiz up some magic, which is how these cookies were born.

Strawberry & Lychee Muffins

February 4, 2019

I was recently invited to participate in the Festival 21 bake sale by Fully Booked Women. Festival 21 is a two-day celebration championing food and inspiring positive change. It brings to light issues involving wasting food & how it affects our own health, social systems & planet. The Sandro Demaio Foundation puts on these types of festivals for free in our community; which is why I felt honoured to participate in this bake sale to raise money for this foundation.
