Salted-Caramel Chocolate Croissant Pudding

YOU ARE NEVER EVER EVER.  Allowed to throw away pastries.  Ever.   (I mean when you consider how astronomically expensive they can be, that’s literally like throwing money down the drain.  No soul in their right mind would do that.  So.  Don’t do it.).

Bircher Müesli

After a couple weeks of avid exploration, the only way I know how, through food, I have finally had a moment to settle into my new home.  And so it only felt right to christen the new kitchen with a family tradition; Bircher Müesli.

Elderflower - Summer's Secret Weapon

Stunning blossom, beautifully delicate, deliciously fragrant.  With the last of this year’s elderflower blossoms, had to whip up one last batch of Elderflower Simple Syrup to last through the summer.

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

This is the best and only pasta salad, you will ever need in your life.  We can shake on it if you’d like?  Here’s why: it literally combines everything you need in a dish, in texture, flavour, colour, nutritional balance and indulgence.  Even Masterchef would be impressed.  So simple, packed with flavour, born from the simple desire to eat all our favourite things.  And whaddya know, perfect leftover-pasta-bestover-recipe (how's that for a tongue-twister): my mum’s Mediterranean Pasta Salad.

Kohlrabi: Okonomiyaki + Slaw

Kohlrabi: Okonomiyaki + Slaw

I have been fortunate to have experienced cultures from across the world, which in turn has led me to crave the discovery of all sorts of global cuisines, generally through my personal consumption, but whenever I can, through local cooking classes.  But in all honesty, Japanese food is never something I properly looked into, other than endless sushi dates and that Sushi making party that one time...Until my mum brought home the strangest looking vegetable I'd seen in a long time, and Food 52 just so happened to feature it on their CSA.  Too perfect of a coincidence NOT to try my hand at it.  Hence, Kohlrabi Okonomiyaki with lightly pickled Kohlrabi Slaw.

Stale-Bread Summer Panzanella

For a No-Waste-harping, Italian-food-obsessing, Bestover-loving-gal, discovering the secrets of Panzanella were certainly among the best things to happen to me while in Italy (hey don't judge, some people get excited about tech, I get excited about new ways to upcycle foods.  To each their own...).

5-Minute Shortcut Granola

I can never remember to make Granola, until I actually want Granola, by which time it is far too late to make any, and I just don’t have the freedom to purchase beautiful artisanal granola to satisfy each craving.  A friend once said, through necessity is born genius.  Not claiming to be genius by any means, but merely to say that through this existential-granola-dilemma, a solution was born: Shortcut Granola.

Mini Champagne Pistachio + Raspberry Cakes

Mini Champagne Pistachio + Raspberry Cakes

It’s amazing how much fun you can have with people you’ve known for literally barely more than 24 hours, just because they’re the right people, in the right place, at the right time.  All brought together because of the love they have for two people.  And a good party.  And an incredible buffet dessert bar… Point is, if there's Champagne in the icing, you know it's a party.
