APPLE MARSHMALLOWS 🍎
check out the link below and read my brand NEW BLOG POST, where I make chocolate apples, filled with marshmallow and caramel 😘
Dominique Ansel is practically just trying to give me diabetes AMIRITE?! 😉

I currently have a kilo of leftover tempered chocolate on my table – fun? I’m gonna have to say it – I don’t like it when things have no relevance to what they look like. When it comes to eating I want to judge the book by its cover, if I’m picking up something that looks like a lemon, I w...

PINK CHAMPAGNE MACARONS 💕
follow the link below to read the NEW BLOG POST where I face my nemesis the macaron, with Dominique Ansel’s assistance 😉
Anyone else an absolute sucker for macarons? 😏

This recipe has more notes in the margin than any other recipe – yikes. This isn’t a first for me, I’ve made quite a few batches of macarons over the years. Usually, I make them for a purpose (somebody wants them on a drip cake, I wanted to include them in my uni portfolio etc.), often I’ll ...

BLACK AND BLUE PAVLOVA 💜
follow the link below to read the NEW BLOG POSTTT, where I post the next recipe ✨
A blueberry meringue shell with whipped lemon ganache, blueberry compote and blackberries 😘
Who else LOVES a pavlova?? 😉

Lowkey making me perform meringue taxidermy. I don’t think there is a single person alive who doesn’t like a pavlova, SERIOUSLY what’s not to like? When I think of pavlova, I picture nans everywhere making a shoddy meringue meringue in the oven and topping it with whipped cream and an assortme...

Visit the link below, to see me make Dominique Ansel’s - ‘Perfect Little Egg Sandwich’ 🍳
Let me know your thoughts below and share with your friends 😏

What. Even. Is. This? Dominique Ansel has said farewell to sugar and cream for this recipe, todays bake is completely savoury. If I’m being totally honest, when first purchasing this book, I didn’t really like the look of this recipe – SCANDAL. I like eggs, but I don’t *love* eggs and the id...

Although, that may not look the best (don’t attack me ;)), these were INSANE 🤤
In the latest blog post, I make Dominique’s ‘Paris-New York’, his take on the classic Paris Brest 😘

This is the mother of all choux pastry recipes. If there is one takeaway from this recipe/blog post, it is that Dominique Ansel is officially a regular human being ;). After finding out that he never liked cookies, my friend has been endlessly mocking him (IM SORRY DOMINIQUE, SHES AN AWFUL PERSON),....

OKAY, I know this looks like a toasty lasagne but it’s a cheesecake, trust me 😉
In this blog post I make Dominique Ansel’s Cotton Soft Cheesecake, a light almond sponge, topped with ricotta mousse and finished with bruleed sugar 🤤
Visit the link below and let me know what you think in the comments!

Why does this literally look like a lasagne omg. The good thing about Ansel’s recipe book is that as well as including some BANGING recipes, it also doubles as a history book ;). Ansel sets to blow the readers mind when announcing that the cheesecake originated from, Ancient Greece, WHO KNEW? Obvi...

NEW BLOG POST ✨✨
After the horror of the last blog, Dominique Ansel was kind enough to give me the simplest recipe in the book 😉
follow the link below to read and let me know your thoughts 😘

Ice cream is a pastry chef staple, I’m pretty sure that college has burned the method into my brain. The ghost of Louis Pasteur haunts my dreams. Dominique Ansel states that vanilla ice cream is his favourite flavour, and RESPECT. That’s quite a bold statement to make and has probably riled Ben ...
