Gluten-Free Vanilla Cake Recipe
I recently had an event where I needed to take a plate for a shared meal and I decided to make a cake! I found this recipe online and altered it to my desire (but in reality just used what I had in the fridge already). You’ll see that the icing doesn’t have any quantities written […]
Hello Friends & Allies (Café Review)
Overall: Hello Friends & Allies is my absolute favourite local café. Where are they? They are located at 93 Great South Rd, Epsom, which is known as ‘the Market Road Shops’.

Both times I ate here, I happened to be in […]

Gluten-Free Delight: Bakeworks Delivers!
Having been stuck at home for the past month (read more about why here), I’ve consequently spent a lot of time on the internet, among other things. One delightful thing that I came across is that Bakeworks, an awesome Gluten-Free company, has an online shop AND they deliver for free – “Free North Island shipping […]
How Reactive Arthritis took reign over my Summer Holidays
When I was first diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis, I did what most doctors hate and went straight to the internet for answers.
