It’s getting cold outside! I am still waiting for the snow, but the icy breeze has definitely arrived. And what better way to warm our bellies, and our hearts, than to have a bowl of the best, most delicious, lentil soup! This is another one of my favourite meals my mom makes for us! My […]
You can’t always have sweet grapes In life, you will have travel days that are great, where everything goes according to plan and you reach your destination on time. And then you will have travel days where things don’t go as smoothly as you hope. Stew and I have done our fair share of travelling […]
When chocolate cake is the only answer! This cakes credit goes to my sister Serena, who found this recipe and shared it with me (after some begging was done). Let me just say, it is probably the best chocolate cake I have ever had. Melt-in-your-mouth moist, not too sweet with a smooth dark chocolate icing. […]
This is one for all the cookie monsters! This recipe was given to me by one of my very good friends – Franky. She knows how much I love to bake, so it was a no-brainer secret Santa gift at one of our office Christmas parties. Thanks, Franky! The best part about this recipe is […]
Oh, oranges… How delicious and nutritious you are. I love the smell and taste of oranges, but I have never really enjoyed eating an orange as it is. Maybe it’s the texture… I don’t know. But what I do know is that I LOVE ORANGE LOAF! This recipe is so easy, and it makes the […]

The who, what, when, where and why’s of travels So I think it is safe to say Stew and I have done a bit of travelling of late (it’s been quite a busy few months haha), and it has been AMAZING! We have seen so many beautiful and wonderful places, and we have barely […]
A simple and delicious dinner to impress your guests! It’s easy to get into a routine when it comes to cooking. Repeating dishes weekly is a thing. Especially when you work late and gym and you just don’t feel like, or have time to, making something new. I was there, and am still there – […]
Okay, so I think we have established that I really like, if not love Austria. And at the heart of this profound attraction is the city of Vienna. Beautiful in all ways, from the exquisite buildings built by Emperor Franz Joseph I, the awe-inspiring Cathedrals, to the food culture, the people and the lifestyle. There […]
Cottage Pie was one of those special meals in our house. My mom would make it for dinner on our birthdays, or if we had people over. Needless to say, it was a favourite of mine, and I would request it as often as I could! My mouth would start watering just smelling the cheese […]
