For the love of food
It’s almost instinctive. I can smell it in the air. As soon as the chill arrives, so too does the sweet, rosy fruit and its myriad of dessert combinations. It’s the meeting of the soft, sweet fruit, still with a little bite and the crunchy, golden topping that sucks me in. Serve it to me [...]
‘How is Claire not the size of a house?’ That question was posed to one of my friends by a friend of hers who reads my blog. With the number of sweet and somewhat naughty recipes I post here you’d be forgiven for thinking I was enormous. You know I’m very anti-diet and believe that [...]

From delivering a batch of muffins to her local SES depot on Tuesday night, Danielle has taken [...]
