Using an empty yoghurt pot as a measuring tool is a genius hack to do when you don’t have any kitchen scales! It’s all about the proportions of ingredients here so I’ve given the recipe in ‘pots’ (1 pot being a 100ml yoghurt pot)…
Lemon Poppyseed Muffins (Vegan)
When I first started coming up with my own recipes, I would tend to go through phases of becoming obsessed with one thing at a time. There was a cinnamon roll phase, chocolate chip cookies phase and a lemon cake phase. Specifically, I was…
These delicious black sesame linzer cookies look just like a whole team of edible Totoros!! I’ve always loved Studio Ghibli movies (never have been much of a Disney person) and Totoro is definitley one of the most iconic characters from their movies. I’m preeeeetty…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Lemon and Parmesan
Brussels sprouts are vegetables I always forget about. Not because I hate them or don’t like cooking with them, but I think in my mind they’re ‘reserved’ for Christmas time. When I discovered roasted Brussels sprouts were a ‘thing’ a few years ago when they…
Gingerbread is one of those cookies that I’m always ‘meh’ about when I think of it. Each year I inevitably end up making some to turn into a gingerbread house (or this year, a Christmas tree made of stacked gingerbread stars!). Every time I…

Instarecipe! Steel-Cut Oats w/ Strawberry Compote, Almonds + Lemon Curd
Although I am on a fairly demanding course, I luckily sometimes get a late start. This Wednesday, thanks to a 1 pm Microbiology exam, I had one of those rare, late-start days! I like being able to take my time in the morning to…
Not-Carrot Carrot Cake with Lemon Frosting {Dairy & Gluten Free, Vegan Option}
Following on from my last post – I’m bringing you the first recipe in my low-sugar treats series! I was originally going to post about the vegan chocolate ice cream today, but instead it’s ‘carrot’ cake. This is because, after I posted a picture of…
InstaRecipe! Wheat-Free Lemon & Poppy Seed Pancakes
It started out with an intense 11am craving for waffles. I pulled out my heart-shaped waffle maker, cleaned it up and blended up this batter with my hopes set high. After that, disaster ensued: the batter stuck in the intricately patterned iron wrenching my waffle…
