Yes, I know, I have been away a long time. Sorry 😦
But I come baring gifts… well, cake, but that’s the same right?
And this one’s all for you. You don’t even have to share it.

Greek yogurt layer pots with Limoncello-macerated berries
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Others might argue a girl’s best friend is her hairdresser. I say, chocolate is. Because which girl never reached for chocolate in times of need? Sure, siblings and friends are great, but … OK, maybe chocolate comes second best … or it’s a tie …
Coconut lime bites
Summer is back, and so is my obsession with coconut and lime.
Today, I decided to tempt you with a twist on coconut macaroons. They are crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, with a pop of bright lime… you’ll be loving me all summer, I promise!
Almond butter cookies
What if I told you you could make cookies from scratch in 20 minutes and with only 3 ingredients? OK, fine, 15 minutes. Tops! I promise!
Blog anniversary and Gordon Ramsay’s chocolate and pistachio semifreddo
In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job’s a game!
I’m a big fan of Mary Poppins. The Disney version, at least. And I couldn’t find anything better than the opening lines for A Spoonful Of Sugar to describe what the past year has been like.
One year ago today, I clicked that button that created AlaLemon.com, and it has been one very unexpected yet fun ride. I was reflecting on that recently, and I realised how much I am enjoying it.
Waffles for breakfast
Mango and pistachio muhallebi
I have great news! One: it’s Sunday. Two: it’s dessert day.
Not that it should keep you from having dessert any other day of the week.
Canada: Apple butter
Once upon a time, there was princess named Snow-White. One day, an old lady gave her an apple. Snow-White bit into it and passed out. Moral of the story: never accept apples from old ladies, unless it’s your granny.
Coconut milk risotto (Arborio rice pudding)
At the ripe age of 30+ years old, I realised I had never had rice pudding in my life. Which is quite strange considering some of my grandparents were quite fond of it, and my sister had had an acute rice pudding phase for a while (she even made it with basmati rice, but I think that’s because she’d just grabbed the first box of rice she’d found in the cupboard).
Nutella frangipane empanadas
Did you know today was World Nutella Day? Yup! It’s that one day when you can eat all the Nutella you want, any way you want it, and no one can tell you anything! Sounds nice, doesn’t it?
