In need of a hero?



Is there any better rescuer 
than a deliciously
chocolately and 
seriously decadent
cookie?



Here is my recipe for one 
of my best selling cookies:
the chocolate hero.

The art of all good dough
making, needs care, love 
and quick working 
to ensure the dough is 
not overworked.

And any dough maker 
will tell you that 
the more times you 
make it 
the better your
"feel" for the dough.


Things like egg size (I use large)
and humidity in the air
can all effect the outcome 
of the biscuit.
You may need to adjust the flour 
accordingly and lots of
practice will 
help you "read" the dough.

So practice away, 
eat some warm from the oven, 
experiment with adding other ingredients
(macadamias are a great addition)
and 
please share my recipe 
(not cookies - they can make their own lol)
with loved ones.

Little, sweet and local.



A leisurely stroll 
is a treat in itself 
on beautiful 
Sunday morning, 





but to discover our
favourite baker and 
all round gorgeous gal
Megan, from 
there was 
the icing on the cake!







With her beautiful 
lemon syrup cakes and 
chocolate mini cakes 
with homemade 
nutella frosting, 
it meant the big kids 
were in cake heaven too.



Her biscuits are also amazing.
The crunchy, honey Anzacs
with macadamias are divine
and the ginger biscuits with 
couverture chocolate are
incredibly moreish.



Fresh juices, coffee and 
heaps of newly picked
fruit and vege
direct from the grower - 
make this a great morning to be
out and about.
