Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Tip: Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter and caster sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Tip: Use a heatproof bowl to prevent the mixture from burning.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the brown sugar, golden syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Tip: Let the mixture cool slightly before proceeding.
- 4
Beat in the eggs until smooth.
Tip: Use a hand mixer or whisk for best results.
- 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, desiccated coconut, salt, and baking powder.
Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients for even mixing.
- 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the saucepan mixture, stirring until just combined.
Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- 7
Pour the batter into a lined baking tray and smooth the top.
Tip: Don't worry if the batter is slightly lumpy – it will smooth out during baking.

Just mix, bake, and you've got decadent brownies that taste like you spent far more effort than you actually did.
Mango & passion fruit curd sunshine tart
This is my absolute favourite tart to make when mangoes are at their peak. The combination of tangy passion fruit curd with sweet, juicy mango is pure sunshine on a plate, and the best part is that it comes together in just under an hour. Mangoes are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, so you can feel good about indulging in a slice or two. The buttery pastry is wonderfully simple to make from scratch, requiring just a few basic ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. It's the kind of dessert that looks impressive enough for guests but is actually quite straightforward to pull together.
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.
