I grew up amongst a family of tea drinkers. We’d drink tea for breakfast, morning tea, afternoon tea, and finish the day with a cuppa tea before bed. With the continued proliferation of cafes, coffee roasters and baristas (at least here in my small corner of the world) it’s easy to believe that these days […]
Happy Australia Day everyone! For those of you reading this from somewhere in Australia, I hope you have a fantastic day and are enjoying your long weekend! And for everyone else? Why not join in our national celebrations today by making some of these gorgeous mini pavlovas!

A little while back now, I came across a recipe and accompanying photos for a lime flavoured granita, and it looked so mouth-wateringly tasty and refreshing that I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making my own ever since.
