These eggless doughnuts are wonderfully light and fluffy, with a slightly crisp outside – and perfectly complemented by the delicious, airy milk tart mousse. My mum does not eat eggs and as a result, often does not get to enjoy my baked treats. I am therefore always on the lookout for wonderful eggless recipes. My mum loves the eggless doughnuts from Woolworths and I wanted to try and create something…
These biscuits are a combination of my favourite things: lovely crisp custard biscuits, sandwiched with a raspberry buttercream. I was chatting to my aunt on the phone recently and she mentioned baking a batch of these custard biscuits. They are something I grew up eating and every time I visit home, I return to Cape Town with a stash in my bag. I love dipping the custard biscuits into warm…

I love making this in winter, as it is warm and…

I want people to be able to bake delicious bakes, without all the effort and fuss of having to use complex techniques and ingredients. Personally, I like challenging myself by trying new techniques but sometimes a simple bake which yields delicious results is equally rewarding. This lemon and blueberry…
These are utterly deliciously crisp on the outside and chewy in the centre. Whilst it is called a chocolate chip cookie, I prefer to use actual chocolate in the recipe. Not another chocolate chip cookie recipe! Have you googled “chocolate chip cookie recipe”, you get over 100 million results! Everyone has their version of the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe which they consider to be the best, so it was…
