Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
Tip: Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2
Cut the bread into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and place half of them in a bowl. Set aside.
Tip: Use a combination of white and whole wheat bread for added texture.
- 3
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
Tip: Be patient, as this step can take about 10-12 minutes.
- 4
Remove the browned butter from the heat and whisk in the sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until smooth.
Tip: Make sure to scrape the bottom of the saucepan for all the browned butter goodness.
- 5
Add the remaining bread cubes to the bowl with the brown butter mixture and stir until they are evenly coated.
Tip: Don't overmix, as this can make the bread too soggy.
- 6
Transfer the bread mixture to a baking dish and top with the breadcrumbs.
Tip: Use a gentle touch to avoid compacting the bread.
- 7
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.
Tip: Keep an eye on the pudding after 20 minutes, as the baking time may vary depending on your oven.

These fudgy brownies are my go to when I want something rich and impressive without spending hours in the kitchen. The combination of Lindt chocolate and tahini creates this wonderfully complex flavor that feels fancy but comes together in just an hour. Tahini brings such a lovely nuttiness while adding protein and healthy fats that make these brownies feel a bit more nutritious than your average treat.

Just mix, bake, and you've got decadent brownies that taste like you spent far more effort than you actually did.
Swiss meringue buttercream
Swiss meringue buttercream is hands down my favorite frosting, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. This silky smooth topping is more stable than American buttercream, so it holds up beautifully on cakes even in warmer weather. The egg whites bring wonderful protein to the mix, making it feel a bit more nutritious than your typical frosting. Best part? Once you master the technique, you can whip this up in under an hour and a half with ingredients you probably already have at home. It's truly become my go to for every celebration.
Martha's basic pancake recipe
My mum Martha taught me this recipe years ago, and it's become my go to for weekend breakfasts. It's wonderfully simple, using just a handful of ingredients you likely have at home, which means it won't break the bank. The eggs give you protein to keep you full through the morning, and honestly, from start to finish you'll have fluffy pancakes on the table in under half an hour. There's something special about making pancakes from scratch, and once you nail Martha's basic method, you'll never look back.
