A little more than a year ago, I prepared to host someone I’d been dating for 2 months at my apartment for dinner. He would be the first to dine at the new IKEA table I’d painfully spent 2 weeks assembling by myself.

London Fog Affogato
Turning one of my favourite drinks into a delectable dessert! Creamy earl-grey lavender ice-cream gets drowned in piping hot coffee in my take on this scrumptious Italian dessert. In truth, a London Fog latte doesn’t contain coffee at all – it typically is comprised of earl grey tea, steamed milk, vanilla syrup and a hint…

If you’re looking for something on the sweeter side, look here for some golden caramel goodness and over here for a…
Vegan Millionaire’s Shortbread Bars
I have big news for you all: I HAVE A BLENDER! Shout out to mummy for recognising the struggle that was my culinary life without a blender. I honestly don’t care how broke I am in college, as long as I have a blender to cuddle at night. I think it’s only fitting that the…
