This started out as a recipe for Cinnamon Rolls – I kid you not. But what could have been a total failure turned into an epic success. However somewhere along the way 😉 I think I added too much milk and then the dough was just something that I wouldn’t have been able to roll…

Japanese Milk Bread
I’m always on the hunt for a great bread recipe and over the last few weeks I’ve seen many posts about Japanese Milk Bread. I’m a sucker for beautiful pictures of food and the ones I’ve seen of this light and fluffy bread have frankly left me drooling. Sure what else what I be doing…

Marzipan Cake
Marzipan Cake was a new one for me until introduced by my Norwegian partner Mr V. The only time I used to have Marzipan was on our Christmas Cakes growing up – it was that sweet layer wedged between the rich fruit cake and the layer of icing. Because Mr V has been doing a…
Cauliflower Soup
Cauliflower soup definitely wouldn’t have been one of the soups I ever made and only came on the request of Mr V who loves Cauliflower soup. So of course I gotta keep him happy too – especially when I have a list of jobs that need doing 🙂 I try to keep my soups a…
