Baba Ghannouj
There is no greater gift someone can give me then something picked from thier garden & warm from the sun. (hint-hint, to anyone out there with a blackberry bush currently in fruit) Mr Bake and Bloom & I plan to move out of our flat in the city & into a 4 bedroom house later this year because, desipe being the daughter of a landscape designer & a floral design student I have no garden & it breaks my heart. I can’t wait to begin planting & hope to become as close to self sustainability as possible. Gifts from the garden to me are so deeply rewarding, I cant wait to have a garden of my own so I can pass my own produce along.

Baklava tarts with berries
This recipe is downright amazing. For a start, when you tell people you’re making baklava tart for desert they will quickly squeal with glee ”I LOVE baklava!” and then you tell them it is filled with a creamy filling & topped with raspberries & honey, you now have a friend for life.

A Lovely Mess on St. Valentines Day
Here I go again, being cheeky with desserts steeped in tradition.
There is nothing I would rather do less on a day like valentines day then spend hours fussing over some fiddly tart or cake. For starters, it is summer in Australia and secondly, well valentines is all about me!

Love is in the air, a floral valentine project
Those of you who have been following my progress for while will remember last years Christmas display I completed for school. The task seems easy enough, create a themed floral display worthy of a shop window. Last year we didn’t really have to arrange anything though, we just stuck some tulips in some vases & wrapped it all up in tinsel (so to speak)

Homemade Bagels, made with love
See this man? this man is a saint, this man provided the monetary means for me to purchase my very first mix-master, and I love it…I mean HIM!
The mix-master provided me with inspiration, and as a thank you to Mr Bake&Bloom who has done nothing since we got home from America but talk about bagels I thought I would bake him some. As Nigella puts it, it might seem like a rather abstruse practice..making your own bagels. But I found it quite simple & not nearly as time consuming as one might expect. At any rate, the love received for the minimal effort spent was well worth it.
This one is for you darling.
