4 Easy Foodie Gift Ideas
There’s meaning, thought or love put into anything that involves making, baking or creating for others. To simply say thank you, celebrate, or visiting friends, turning up with something delicious always goes down a treat. So taking out some of the guessing work, I’ve put together 4 easy foodie gift ideas below for multiple occasions, all year round.
…Brownie Cream Pie
When I get asked what my favourite sweet treat to bake is, the first thing that always comes to mind is a chocolate brownie. It’s such a versatile, rich and fudgy slice and who doesn’t love lots of chocolate, right?

…Travel Greece – Survival Guide
Visiting Greece has always been on my bucket list and although I’d be a tourist myself, there were a few things I wish I knew before I touched down. The 6 tips below are my own personal observations and recommendations and were the first few things I would always share with people when they asked about culture and customs. Because of that, I don’t claim to be a travel expert or know Greek etiquette inside and out, however I hope others traveling to Greece may find any of these tips useful.

With a total of nearly 50 hours in transit, the 20 days we spent in the Greek sun were well worth it. Although my phone is full of holiday snaps, food and cats, I’ve put together an incredibly summarised photo journal of holiday highlights.
…Caramel Cornflake Brownie
Brownies are one of my favourite things to bake or enjoy when I’m out and about. They can be chocolatey, stuffed or topped with endless creative possibilities. With the many options out there today, I wanted to make my own version of a fudgy brownie base, topped with a chewy cornflake filled caramel.
…Spiced Rose Shortbread
Marshmallow and shortbread are two flavours and textures I believe are a match made in delicious heaven. The shortbread is always smooth and crumbly and the marshmallow, sweet and fluffy.
Lemon Meringue Cupcake
Arn’t lemons dreamy, especially lemon curd. In fact any form of lemon inspired baking is a winner in my books, even a bonus if paired with fluffy toasted meringue! With this sound formula, I’ve always wanted to make a zesty cupcake, oozing with lemon curd and topped with charred meringue.
…Top 6 Kiwi Biscuit Recipes
Being a kiwi, everyone has their own stories and memories to share about what it was like growing up in New Zealand with home baking. A family staple throughout my childhood (and very similar to others no doubt) was often the smell of home baked biscuits, whether it be with parents, grandparents or even your neighbour, these stories could be endless.
…Chocolate Chunk Tan Square
After many hours on the road, traveling from Hamilton through to Gisborne as a child for school holidays or family occasions, there were always two highlights to this journey. The first was stopping to enjoy the beaches in Ohope and the second, stopping at a particular cafe in Opotiki just before we entered the Waioeka Gorge. What made this cafe so highly anticipated was their amazing tan slice that was always guaranteed to be in their glass cabinets. In fact, it was always a request to stop in Opotiki before we’d even left Hamilton.
