These classic German Christmas cookies (Zimtsterne) are similar to a macaron, but with more nuts, very chewy, and with lots of cinnamon!

A classic rhubarb tart but the frangipane filling is made with ricotta instead of butter. The pattern is super pretty, all you need is a little precision.

Sweet, spicy, juicy and crumbly. Try this garam masala spiced pear date and walnut crumble slice warm with cream or ice cream.

A classic strawberry galette, not so sweet, with beautiful light and flaky pastry crust and a hint of balsamic vinegar.

A decadent, rich banana bread, made with ricotta and anything I could find in the pantry, like chocolate chips, walnuts and oats. Beautifully moist and full of flavour.

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. A cookie that satisfies us all! These chocolate cookies have an avocado in them, which clearly makes them healthy, right? Gotta eat your vegetables, and if it’s in the form of a cookie, even better!

This is my take on the classic Aussie biscuit ‘Iced VoVo’, with a richer and more flavoursome cookie base, and a marshmallow-ey topping. Who says these cookies always have to be square? They’re so much prettier as flowers!

One of the easiest recipes in the world: simply mix butter, sugar and flour for traditional melt-in-your-mouth shortbread. For a bit of green fun, we have added matcha powder and pistachios, which give these cookies their very distinctive flavour. Like a stronger matcha note? Add up to 3 teaspoons of the powder.

A pull-apart bread? A pizza? We don’t care what you call it, but it certainly is the star of the party. Cheesy? Yes it is! It may look impressive, and you might think it’s tricky to make, but all you need is a bit of twisting action for the magic to happen.

Tastes almost like a cheesecake, but so much lighter! The sponge is heavenly airy, and the filling deliciously tangy. Who doesn’t like the combination of cream cheese and lemon curd? A match made in heaven!
