We’re only two-thirds through autumn, and yet I’m already spending my nights curled up on my bed reading with my thermal socks on and a scarf tucked into my jumper. Last night, I was on the phone to my brother and mentioned that I don’t know what I’ll do when it’s actually winter and I’ve [...]

The sweetness of caramel and white chocolate is balanced by the spicy kick of a full half cup of crystallised ginger, and the [...]

I finally did it. I finally succumbed. I don’t mean that I decided to throw caution to the wind and use all of my savings to fill my no-pets-allowed rental apartment with puppies of all shapes and size. Puppies as far as the eye can see!

As I write this, it’s raining raining lightning hailing raining cool-breeze-beautiful-blue-flashes crackling crashing storming outside and I want to run out my door and spin around in the wind and lift my head back and woop and twirl holding hands with my brother while performing a made-up Madcap Helter Pelter Skelter Rain Dance together just [...]

Remember last post, when I mentioned having new raw vegan truffle recipes to share with you? Shazaam! I ain’t no recipe-tease, folks. I deliver. I deliver deliciousness.
