Lemon Meringue Bread and Butter Pudding

April 25, 2018 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

There’s something quite nostalgic and humble about the bread and butter pudding. However, if you’re after a decadent dessert to finish off your evening, I have the perfect fusion to pair with a beautiful glass of wine. With International Sauvignon Blanc Day on the 4th of May, it seemed only natural to share an elegant new recipe to celebrate, along with a glass of sauv, my pick being the Peter Yealands Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. …

Anzac Golden Syrup Tart

April 7, 2018 By Dane McGregor 53 Comments

Throughout the years the Anzac biscuit has been a family favourite all over New Zealand. Perhaps it’s the comforting flavours that remind us of home, or what Anzac personally means to you. The flavours of a good Anzac Biscuit are also staple ingredients that everyone should have in the pantry, this is probably another good reason why it’s so popular.…

Pavlova Cheesecake

December 14, 2017 By Dane McGregor 1 Comment

Christmas is better spent enjoying the warm weather and time with family. But if you’re anything like me, everything is left until the last minute and then becomes a mad panic. To be honest I’d actually really enjoy being super prepared for once, so this year is all about maximum impact with minimal effort. There are plenty of great products at the supermarket which have already done the work for you and only need dressing up on Christmas Day.…

Mojito Cheesecake

December 9, 2017 By Dane McGregor 3 Comments

Warmer weather calls for cool drinks and cool desserts. So when I think cool desserts, I can’t go past the classic cheesecake. And if you asked me what one of my favourite cocktails for the summer season were, I’d always say mojito! There’s something so fresh about lime and mint that gets me every time. Also don’t forget the splash of rum too!…

Orange Chocolate Tiramisu

November 11, 2017 By Dane McGregor 1 Comment

You can feel it in the air as summer approaches, with promises of warm weather, end of year festivities and evenings outside eating until dusk. There’s nothing quite like spending this time of the year with friends and family around the barbecue, it screams out salads and cold desserts. I’m a huge fan of desserts to finish off a night, or even to get one started. So when I heard that Nespresso had joined the festive table, embracing the season of nostalgia and excitement, I was immediately inspired.…

Chocolate Mud Pie

October 3, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

While growing up the wheat biscuit has been a staple part of many households and has also become an amazing ingredient for baking and various other meals. So it’s clear wheat biscuits are not only enjoyed as a cereal, but can also add fibre and texture to a range of sweet and savoury recipes.…

Kānga Waru

July 7, 2017 By Dane McGregor 8 Comments

Growing up, spending holidays on the East Coast has plenty of amazing memories for my family and I. Along with putting out crayfish pots, laying a hangi and spending hours exploring the streams near the marae, I remember the food. My gran was famous for making her fried bread, money pudding and one of my favourite Maori desserts, Kānga waru.

Berry Crumble Cheesecake

April 24, 2017 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

There’s something quite kiwi about the thought of a hot fruit crumble with a side of cold vanilla ice cream or fresh cream. Growing up, fruit crumbles were a weekend staple. My mother’s go to crumble was always a hot apple, topped with lots of delicious spiced crumble. This later led to experimenting with different fruit such as feijoas or sneaking in the odd berries now and then.…

Raw Cocoa and Coconut Cheesecake

August 18, 2016 By Dane McGregor 2 Comments

There’s always the demand to do things quicker, have more energy and live a little healthier. When it comes to baking or a little something sweet, we sometimes feel these same pressures. Luckily it doesn’t always have to be this way and occasionally we are allowed a little indulgence. …

Turkish Delight Cheesecake

June 5, 2016 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Ever since I saw Turkish Delight for the first time while watching the BBC’s mini series ‘The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe’ which came out in 1988, I’ve always been fascinated about how delicious and exotic it must have been. When I was old enough to finally try it, I wasn’t disappointed. There’s nothing quite like the light scent and taste of roses while your eating, it makes you feel as if you’ve been whipped away to some secret garden (or traveled through a wardrobe to a far off land).…

💥 Happy New Year to all my current and new swee 💥 Happy New Year to all my current and new sweet toothed Gatherers, let’s do a round of introductions.

My name’s Dane from Hamilton in New Zealand, and I’m the treat obsession face behind Baker Gatherer and am solely to blame for all these delicious posts and recipes.

I started the Baker Gatherer website in late 2015 as a place for me to experiment with baking and share recipes. I then started a Facebook page as a place to share those recipes and engage with other like minded foodies. After that I started this Instagram, which I consider my visual library full of cacti, flatlays and sweet treats galore.

Now, I’d like to take this opportunity to get to know you all a bit better. So feel free to introduce yourself in the comments below, let me know your favourite treats, your baking successes, your glorious fails, or simply ask me any burning questions.

I realise I can be a bit of a mystery (because I’d rather focus on the food), but let’s try and change that for 2023.

Six Quick Facts!

1. I’m a Virgo ♍️
2. I don’t do small talk 🙅🏽‍♂️
3. Watermelon is my favourite fruit 🍉
4. I’m obsessed with all things Space 🪐
5. I have a teaching and graphic design degree ✏️
6. I’m a perfectionist. Even my facts run shortest to longest ✔️
