Neapolitan Cookies
I have it on good authority (my nanny) that as a child, my favourite after daycare treat was a scoop of Neapolitan ice cream. I can definitely believe that, as I am still an ice cream addict. But over the past 20 (well, slightly more than 20), I have become far less of a supporter […]
Tanya Bakes and Chocolate Chip Shortbread
I am a bit of a nerd. This I definitely know. I was probably doomed from the age of 5, at which point Star Trek became my favourite TV show. I had my own uniform and communicator. I have strong views about the political system of Star Wars. My biggest regret from my wedding is […]
S’more Brownies
The end is near. The end of my PhD is approaching. Which means that I’m both elated to see the light at the end of the tunnel and unbelievably nervous about making sure that it’s perfect. I’m doing a lot of back and forth between America and London at the moment – bursts of study […]
Chocolate Chip Cookies and The Cookies and Cups Cookbook
I blame Challenge Sophie. I’m a big fan of the classes at Sweaty Betty and I attended her 5k run and lecture. One of her major themes was the importance of showing up and working hard, even if you’re the sweaty person at the back of the run or the class feeling totally overwhelmed trying […]
Chocolate and Caramel Blossoms
Bloggers definitely get obsessions. I can think of bloggers who discovered macarons and cinnamon rolls and then repeatedly made variations on a theme. Think about it – when you find a recipe that you love, you’re excited to make it over and over again for people (are you sure you don’t want another batch of […]
Chocolate Toffee Cookies
I think, from an unofficial poll of my friends, that I am not the only person who finds January and February to be a long stretch. Christmas is over and all that’s left is the rain, wind and super short days. Is spring almost here yet? And there’s not even a snowstorm to make me […]
Cookies and Cream Blossoms
I say it every year, but it’s so true – the beginning of January can be super depressing. My cat, McNulty, has no interest at all is doing anything but curling up in a ball and staying warm (under the radiator, on the couch, on the bed) – he doesn’t have much motivation to be […]
Pain au Chocolat Cinnamon Rolls and Christmas Recipes & Crafts
Christmas dos are an inevitable part of the Christmas season – I work at a comedy club on weekends, so I see people out and about at work parties (as well as crammed onto the tube in the evenings!) And Christmas parties can be fun, but for me, the best kind of holiday party is […]
Double Pumpkin Cookies
I am a tad bit embarrassed of my love of pumpkin food in November. Let’s be honest, it’s a total cliche. Especially since I’m an American (and Irish mockery of American pumpkin obsession is legendary.) But still, when I was in the US, I was constantly searching for pumpkin-based products to bring home. Not everything […]
Caramel Kiss Brownies
Normally, I horde my baking stash like crazy. It’s mine, all carefully picked from grocery stores in America and spirited across the ocean to be hidden away until an idea pops into my head for something to bake. But when Beardy Bestie Fran came over for our weekend of baking, I let her pick out […]
