Applesauce is always one of those handy ingredients to always keep in the kitchen. It’s delicious on it’s own as a raw snack and particularly indispensable for all kinds of low-fat, egg-free or vegan baking adventures, yet it’s also one of those ingredients that never makes it into my shopping basket. Why buy an expensive jar of applesauce when you …

So what would you do when you score a kilo of chillies on the cheap? You heard me, I currently have a whole kilo of chillies in my possession.

Did you know there are rules about what can and can’t be called an Anzac Biscuit? It’s always ‘biscuit’ and never ‘cookie’ btw; calling it a cookie would be very un-Australian apparently. For a biscuit to be an ‘Anzac’ biscuit it has to conform to the traditional recipe, with ingredients readily available during wartime (eggs were particularly scarce) which would …
