Pecan and Coffee Cake with Marshmallow Mocha Glaze

heylollyDecember 16, 2025December 9, 2025

There’s something irresistibly soothing about this pecan and coffee cake, the way it fills the kitchen with its toasty, aromatic warmth. I make it on the days that call for comfort in cake form, when a tender crumb and a glossy mocha glaze feel like exactly the right kind of indulgence.

Ultimate Macadamia Brownie Bites

heylollyUpdated on January 5, 2026November 20, 2025

There’s something almost indecent about the texture of these — crisp-edged, fudgy-centred, warm from the oven or cool and dense from the fridge, they offer everything I want from a brownie… only in one-bite portions, which somehow makes them feel all the more dangerous.

There’s something delightfully wicked about pouring vodka into a pan don't you agree?! What starts off undeniably alcoholic softens into a silky sauce that's rounded, robust and delicious! There's a reason why Italian food is up there with the best... even the most devoted of meat-lovers won’t miss a thing. Promise!

Finished with melting burrata and freshly smashed basil pesto, this Pasta Alla Vodka turns a quiet night in into the only plan worth keeping. Full recipe over on the blog (Link in Bio)

Bean keeping it simple 🫘👌 The pleasure here is in Bean keeping it simple 🫘👌

The pleasure here is in the texture: the beans softening at the edges, the orzo giving body without heaviness, the pesto lingering just long enough to send you back in. Before long there are quiet slurps, a scrape of spoon against bowl, and that unmistakable moment when someone gets up for just a "little more"

Swipe through for the full step-by-step, from building that golden onion base to toasting warm spices, browning chicken, and simmering everything down into the thickest, cosiest keema. The secret? Creamy beans + gentle spice = maximum comfort with minimum effort.

It’s hearty without being heavy, perfect with rice or naan, and somehow tastes even better the next day 

(I'm honestly not judging if you want this for breakfast next day... I did.... 🌚🌚)

January taught me something about how I like to ea January taught me something about how I like to eat. Less defaulting to meat and more attention to vegetables.

Cooking meat-free for the month wasn’t a rule, just a choice — one that led me towards fish, vegetables, beans, eggs, and a lot more curiosity in the kitchen 🥬🐟 I didn’t miss it the way I thought I would.

February feels like the moment appetite settles back in properly. Food that satisfies, without explanation, I’m looking forward to seeing what the seasons bounty will bring for February 🤎💚

Worth the Catch 🐟🍋 This salad doesn’t insist on b Worth the Catch 🐟🍋

This salad doesn’t insist on being eaten immediately, although of course I would never judge if you did. Just warm, it’s generous. Left to cool, the flavours just get better! 

And the next day, straight from the fridge, it becomes firmer, brighter and somehow even more delicious. The feta softens, the courgettes stay sweet, and the salmon flakes obligingly into the orzo without turning the whole thing into mush.

There’s lemon, tons of herbs and enough olive oil to keep the grains glossy rather than claggy. I like it for lunch, though I’ve been known to take a fork to it at breakfast with no regret at all.

Lovely to make, lovelier to return to!
