Annabelle and Sarah sat perched on the counter, watching us pour velvety batter into crinkled parchment cups. It was a perfect afternoon of free flowing chatter and decadent cupcake creations....

“Make room at the trough, for the noble pig knows that the more you share, the less likely you are to be eaten.” - Seen at Salumi
For most, the idea of handling meat straight from the slaughter house is one we would rather leave up to our local butcher, or in most cases to whomever gets the bloody thing into its Styrofoam/cling-wrapped packaging.

The Solution to Homesickness: Apricot Coconut...

A Recipe for a Perfectly Balanced & Flaky Pie...
For the past 3 years I have been testing and reworking the crust for my apple pies diligently and vigorously. For the most part, the motivation to get it right has been in the challenge of creating a freshly baked pie-crust that not only expresses the quality of the unsalted butter used so that the flavours of the pie (apple being my usual go-to) can really come out, but also the perfect...
