Peanut butter and Chamomile I hear you ask?! Listen up for a great new flavour combination ... When I bake, it tends to be (1) spontaneous, (2) sporadic, and (3) chaotic. All of these elements combined in the creation of this recipe! Baking for me is really therapeutic and brings me much more into the… Continue reading Peanut Butter & Chamomile Breakfast Muffins

These cookies are super fudgey, chocolatey and make a perfect snack. I've been experimenting with using more locally sourced alternatives to coconut oil wherever I can in baking and cooking, and olive oil is the best! It isn't at all nutty, unlike rapeseed oil, and has a really subtle flavour that works perfectly in cakes… Continue reading Chocolate Chip & Olive Oil Cookies
