One of my favourite cakes in the entire world is carrot cake. I don’t eat it very often though because it’s so hard to find a good moist cake when out and about. I was equal parts excited and reluctant to try the recipe on page 48 because I am so fussy when it comes …

The concept of seasonal fruit has changed, with most supermarkets today able to supply consumers with most types of fruit all year round.

On many a road trip to Christchurch it has been a tradition to stop at Butlers Berry Farm and Café near Waimate for some berries and an ice cream. Usually we would skip the café as we would be just passing through. In February this year it was once again the destination of choice to …

For some people Easter is about their faith, for some it’s about eating endless supplies of chocolate and Hot Cross Buns. For some its about an extra few sleep ins and for others its about family and friends. In some European countries its tradition on Easter Sunday to give Easter biscuits as a gift. These …

I really do feel that dates and prunes get a bad rap. I get that many people associate them with constipated old people whose taste buds died eons ago, but some old people are as funky as all hell with perfectly fine taste buds, and some date and prune recipes are genuinely freaking awesome. When …

2017 has been a bit trying so far, but I have still had time to leap into the kitchen to test recipes even though the writing them up side is suffering a little bit! As you know, the sponge recipes I have tested haven’t exactly been that great, so it was with trepidation that I …

I do not like fruit cake. I loathe it. If I’m at a wedding and they have fruit cake you can be sure I am not eating that there cake. I know Christmas has come and gone but I did test a couple of cake recipes before Christmas. Let’s call this review a heads up …

I am really passionate about scones. In fact, years ago a small story about one of my favourite memories of baking/cooking with Edmonds was printed in a special hard cover edition they were publishing at the time. The recipe I chose was the scone recipe. My Dad, who has been gone for 19 years now, …
