When people think about travel, they more often than not think about airports, exotic destinations, new cultural experiences, spicy street food and spending lots and lots of money. I’m not going to lie, these are the things I conjure whenever I think about travel or have come down with a serious case of wanderlust. I’m…
For loyal E&T followers, you might remember this gem from yonks ago. However, I recently whipped up a batch of these for a baby shower and everyone went nuts over them. THEY ARE SO GOOD. So, I’m just rehashing this recipe for you all so that you can once again drool at the amazingness of these cookies.…
Berlin’s blend of trend-setting glamour and historical highlights is guaranteed to enchant any traveller keen to explore its pulsating culture, amazing architecture, finger-licking good food, crazy clubs and tangible history.

When someone asks me what my favourite cuisine is I usually reply “Oh well I love thai and italian. That’s too boring, isn’t it?” However, recently my reply has become different. I’m increasingly turning to Japanese as my go-to dining choice as well as Saturday night take-in. Why? I can’t quite put my finger on…
Guess what? Ok, you’ll never guess. It’s one week until I’m off to the UK, Europe and Vietnam! Are you as excited as I am!? Probably not, because all you’re thinking is “gosh darn I wish it were me!” That’s what I think whenever one of my friends jet sets off across the globe. But…

I want to take you all back to the time I went to Israel. I’m betting many of you will have mixed reactions to that – or maybe not. If you’re like how I was, you’d think ‘But it’s a war zone! If you go to Israel you’re going to be shot or something!’ I know,…
Tomorrow is hump day so in celebration of pre-hump day (it’s my blog, I can do what I want!) I’ve made something utterly delicious. Though PB and choccies are utterly delicious on their own, together, they make the most heavenly combination. Think Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. And how do you create an incredible peanut butter and…
