Hilary's Description:
I’m Hilary - blogger, photographer and cake baker par excellence. Well, at least par insolence. I became obsessed with baking somewhere between learning my mum’s banana bread recipe as a kid, and an odd episode of making Valentine’s Day cupcakes with little hearts on them for my co-workers at the university bar.

Not hippie and not healthy: my favourite granola
09 January 2012
The granola in the photo above is so good that I just. Can't. Stop. Eating. It. I've been munching it all day, despite swearing this morning that I'd limit myself to one ramekin's worth with milk. (Yes, I eat granola out of a ramekin because it's so unhealthy and it helps me to limit portion size ...
Khalid's chocolate and chestnut bars
11 December 2011
The other day I was chatting to a caterer over the phone about my upcoming wedding menu. "So what desserts do you like to eat?" she asked. I don't know about you, but although I spend a huge amount of time thinking about, eating and generally being obsessed by food, I find it really difficult to ...
An American in Paris: Sugarplum Cake Shop
20 November 2011
My parents and sister sped off to Paris on the Eurostar on Friday morning. This means I can finally post this long overdue entry on my blog. Allow me to explain... My sister and I are, er, competitive, to put it bluntly. Don't get me wrong, we're the best of friends, but we also maintain a rather ...
Nigella's marmalade pudding cake
24 October 2011
As a kid I was a pretty picky eater. My sister was a seriously picky eater, so in comparison I probably didn't seem that bad, but there was still a reasonably lengthy catalogue of no-go foods that needed to be worked around at mealtimes. Obviously my tastebuds have matured, and most of those ...
Back to school with oat plum crisp / crumble
21 September 2011
Summer is officially over, school is in session, and our street is filled again with scruffy teenagers who hog the sidewalks and manage to make what is actually a very natty uniform look vaguely vagrant. The difference this year, of course, is that Edward and I are both going back to school. Him ...
What I've baked
09 September 2011
Some recent treats from my oven... Ele's pizza dough (topped with tomato sauce, eggplant, kalamata olives, hot salami and buffalo mozzarella) Dorie's Dimply Plum Cake
Grandma's butterscotch cookies
30 August 2011
Wherever my grandmother is, there is usually good baking around too. Several of my childhood favourites came from her originally, including these refrigerator butterscotch cookies, which my mum made all the time when we were little but which I hadn't eaten in well over a decade. So when we visited ...
Santa Monica Farmers' Market
11 August 2011
The Sunday morning Main Street Farmers' Market in Santa Monica is more like a fair that happens to have a market tacked on. It features live music, plus pony riding, a mini petting zoo and toys for the tots and tykes in attendance. The many, many, many tots and tykes. (If you don't like children ...
California and a chocolate crunch cake
03 August 2011
Of course the week that summer decides to arrive in England, I'm off to California. So much for boasting about the sun and heat I'm going to be basking in... we've already got it here. In fact against all odds I'm actually hoping it might be a little cooler in California, or at least less ...
