So, Easter kinda came and went, huh? Yeah it did. So here’s what we’re going to do: we’re going to pretend that this cake is decorated with eggs and stuff because I’m MENTAL and I will decorate baked goods with anything I like, whether it’s a holiday or not. We probably don’t need to pretend [...]

Tiramisu cheesecake

Just over a week ago, two things happened on the same day. Firstly, I made this cheesecake. Secondly, Chris broke up with me. I’m fairly certain the two are unrelated, just in case you’re worried that this is a cursed cheesecake.
White chocolate cheesecake ice cream + giveaway winner

I cannot believe it’s been nearly two weeks since I last posted. Did you miss me? Did you cry a bit? Did you even notice? You didn’t, did you? Hmph. I’ll just console myself with this ice cream and NOT GIVE YOU THE RECIPE.
Chocolate Tia Maria torte, or failed macaroon cake
Posted in Baking, Cake, Chocolate, Dessert on November 21, 2011 | 16 Comments »
I have a confession. You know those pretty macaroons I made the other day? I sort of maybe didn’t tell you the whole story.
Chocolate and Tia Maria parfait
Posted in Baking, Chocolate, Dessert, Egg yolks, Ice cream, Mousse on November 14, 2011 | 12 Comments »
I hadn’t planned to make this and it isn’t often that I spontaneously bake. Usually because I don’t have time in between all the planned baking! But after making macaroons I found myself with some spare egg yolks and it seemed a shame to throw them away. I knew I’d seen several recipes in my [...]
Happy birthday to Chris! Part two: Chocolate sticky toffee pudding
Posted in Baking, Chocolate, Dessert, Double cream, Pudding, Toffee/Caramel, tagged golden syrup, sticky toffee, sticky toffee pudding, toffee sauce on November 9, 2011 | 10 Comments »
You didn’t think he only got a main course, did you? Every birthday meal needs a dessert! Chris is rather fond of this sticky toffee cake and that is what I was originally going to make for this birthday. But then I ordered a copy of Green and Black’s Ultimate Chocolate Recipes and came [...]
Chocolate roulade

If you were to count my chocolate cookbooks (why do I always seem to be counting my cookbooks?), you would find that I have ten of them. Ten cookbooks devoted to chocolate. That is how much I love chocolate. And I have five more on my Amazon wishlist. Why? What is wrong with me? I [...]
Vanilla cheesecake with pineapple caramel sauce

The last of the weekend’s Mexican recipes is this ace cheesecake. If this cheesecake were a person, it would be Ryan Gosling. Beautiful, yummy and lovely to eat caramel sauce off of. Oh, Ryan Gosling. So perfect. So swoonworthy. How are you not mine? *sigh* What were we talking about?
Chocolate banoffee pie

Yep. Chocolate. Banoffee. Pie. Look at it. Don’t you just want to stick your face in it? Well, you shouldn’t. You’d have cream all over your face! It would be much more sensible to eat it with a spoon.
The best chocolate mousse, or what I remember from high school french
Posted in Baking, Chocolate, Dessert, Mousse, tagged chocolate, chocolate mousse on July 9, 2011 | 2 Comments »
My mum is brilliant at languages; she speaks pretty good French and German. My dad was fluent in Italian. My sisters have also managed to pick up the languages they were taught at school to an impressive standard. But the language gene seems to have skipped me, because the only things I remember from language [...]
