Well it’s just not Christmas without some sort of trifle so this year, I made a lemon flavoured trifle with my favourite berry, raspberries. You don’t have to make this only at Christmas either, it’s an easy yet pretty summertime dessert which you can make ahead and also, anything with layers of different things looks like you went to[read more…]
I love this guy; he’s a brilliant, yet underrated actor, makes some really interesting, often off-the-beaten track movies and manages to look completely different in every single one of them …. to the point where I sometimes don’t recognise him. Also he’s kinda cute and has brilliant comedic timing in that sort of effortless way. Some of Sam’s new[read more…]
It’s that time of year when I start getting into clean and healthy salads. This pretty salad might look light but is really substantial with a decent amount of protein and is packed with grainy quinoa, fresh, sweet tomatoes, crisp spicy radish, smoky tuna and salty feta. I also added a creamy lemon dressing which topped off an[read more…]
Ant forwarded this video of the Electric Daisy Carnival to me the other day, it’s epic! Aside from how awesome it looks, the editing is incredible. Also, the fairy wings, happy faces and dance music reminds me of the 90s/early 2000s in such a fun and sparkly way. Video belongs to: Electric Daisy Carnival
These charmingly beautiful cinemagraphs caught my eye recently; a cinemagraph, from what I can gather, is a sort of refined, more delicate and high quality version of a GIF, which concentrates on movement in one part of the photo while the remainder stays still. These photographs are already lovely but then are brought to life by the exquisite detailing;[read more…]
I’ve always loved the salty flavour and lightness of miso soup, in fact, Japanese food in general is a cuisine I really enjoy for the taste and health benefits. When I was younger, at uni and a bit broke, I’d just have miso soup on it’s own, sort of like a really healthy cup-a-soup, but over[read more…]
These photos, which look like more like illustrations to me, are by Nick Knight and caught my eye the other day. Candy sweet, fanciful and pretty, I’d love to have one as a print or something. Images of Karlie Kloss, by Nick Knight, styled by Edward Enninful via: the English Group
In honour of Australia Day on Sunday, 26th January 2014, I thought I’d make two Australian traditional baked goods in one; lamingtons and butterfly cakes. These soft little cakes are filled with thick cream and sweet jam and topped with fudgy chocolate icing and flakes of coconut. I’m not sure if lamingtons are just one of[read more…]
It’s Australia Day here in our beautiful country. Stay safe and happy everyone. (One of my old film photos of Sea World)
So I knocked together some toasted muesli (or granola if you prefer), with lovely spices and chewy dried cherries.
I like my French toast golden brown and crisp around the edges yet soft and cake-like in the middle, sort of like pancakes in texture. If you prefer it a bit crispier, less squishy, then use less milk in the mixture (or thicker bread). I love the cosy cinnamon sugar flavour in this and I didn’t make[read more…]
