Lemon Coconut Layer Cake

November 4, 2015

I had 8 eggs that were about to go off. Sophie logic therefore made it totally reasonable to use these eggs along with five cups of coconut, half a kilo of butter plus all the rest to make a massive three layer naked cake.

Christmas Doughnuts

December 14, 2014

You know Christmas is well and truly upon you when you find yourself weeping to the final scenes of Love Actually at the outdoor cinema in Silo Park. To celebrate (the season, not the weeping) I threw a Christmas party for my new colleagues this weekend (just a mere three weeks after starting). The menu was a little unconventional though.

Raspberry and Custard Doughnuts

October 7, 2014

I wanted to talk about chivalry. Not the door opening, bag carrying chivalry, but the chivalry that involves giving people the respect they deserve.

I always have a bitch and a moan about how some guys are dicks and treat girls so badly. One minute they are all over you then the next they suddenly stop talking to you and become incredibly elusive for no reason. I get so frustrated by their rudeness and lack of balls to just tell ladies the truth.

Lemon Syrup Loaf

August 29, 2014

New Zealand Fashion Week. I am so glad you are over now.

My Instagram feed can’t take it anymore. Zambesi this, Stolen Girlfriends Club that. I’m just sitting here in some old frayed Glassons shorts that are held together with a safety pin feeling like a hobo. Not even a cool hobo but like an actual poor person.

Lemon and Coconut Cakes

July 12, 2014

I was thinking. Dangerous I know. Especially for a woman ha.

But after a frustrating time at work, a pep talk from my Dad and discovering the best YouTube channel ever (search Anna Akana), I felt like I had a lot of thoughts that needed to be caught and tied down somewhere.

Apologies for the crap photos but I’d like to share the recipe for this family favourite. I’ve written about Dad’s favourite veggie casserole over on TheSupperClubKitchen.com under recipes worth sharing. It’s 90s nostalgia at
