Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sea Salt

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.…

Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake in a Glass

I have a confession to make: I absolutely adore peppermint chocolate and anything minty really. For some reason I do not understand, friends often look at me funny when I’m at messina or any gelateria and I opt for choc-mint gelato. “But there are so many better flavours! Choc-mint is boring! YOU’RE boring!” Fine, I’m…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes

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…

Easy Chocolate Tart/Slice (no bake)

 Somehow I blinked my eyes and it’s already New Year again! Don’t be alarmed, it’s not December yet (although how fast has this year flown?!), I’m talking about the Jewish New Year.  This time last year I was busy in the kitchen making the best honey cake ever however this year we’re getting our honey cake…

Governor’s Table @ Museum of Sydney

Inspired by the rich history of Sydney, The Governor’s Table at the Museum of Sydney is well-worth the visit, even for Sydney locals. The small yet intimate restaurant (soon to be expanding) perfectly captures the feel of early Australia, especially with the use of basic décor such as stone, timber and steel to mirror what…

Prawn Linguine à la Jamie Oliver

When it comes to dinner ideas and meals, you’ll usually find me eating beans on toast or a bland tuna salad. Whilst I love cooking, it is usually baking and all things sweet that get me really excited. At the end of the working day, preparing dinner seems like such a drain and too time…

Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

Oh Joy the Baker, you’ve really done it this time. You’ve provided me with an easy recipe, that makes fabulously different and delicious cookies. What kind of cookies, I hear you ask? Well, they’re Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies. Sounds scrumptiously different, right? Sandwich and cookies? Mixed together? How is that possible!? Well dear readers, it…

IPPUDO Sydney

If you dream of pork buns and ramen noodles then there’s a restaurant in Sydney city that you need to try out. Ippudo which has restaurants in New York, Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Shanghai is now my new go-to Japanese restaurant when I’ve got a hankering for pork buns and noodles (which is often). Walking…

Eating Well On the Go

As much as I love sugar, spice and all things nice, I often find myself in serious debates with the angel on my shoulder who constantly tells me that I need to eat more healthily. Most of the time I flick her off my shoulder and go hang with the devil on the other side who is…

Sunday Sweets: Tim Tam Rocky Road

I am generally not a lazy person but at the last minute when someone asks you to whip up something for dessert and you just don’t have the time to make something utterly fabulous like you normally would, it’s OK to cheat and make something easy. The past week I’d been having serious cravings for…
