About Me

I'm Laura, a 23 year old High School drama teacher, wife to Brendan, and macaron enthusiast. I live in Perth, Western Australia and love it, but I also love being in other places too, especially Margaret River, Bali and Sydney (my husband's home-city). I've always enjoyed cooking and creating beautiful things to eat, but my favourite thing by far to bake is macarons. I also enjoy making the occasional cake, mousse, cheesecake, pavlova, basically anything that is gorgeous to look at and lovely to eat. I also made the odd curry...mmmmm...curry..... I hope you enjoy reading about my experiments, successes and epic fails in the kitchen. I figured I spend so much time trial-and-error-ing that I may as well document it and share the journey with the world. Unfortunately, being in my first year of full-time teaching, I find very little time in the school term to bake. Expect to see loads of posts during the school holidays before I go pretty quiet for 10 weeks or so. Having said that, baking is how I relax and take time out, so I'll do my best to be in the kitchen as often as I can. If you have an idea for some kind of crazy dessert but can't be bothered making it yourself, email me and I might have a go at making it work!
