Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Optional: Use a silicone mat for easier cleanup.
- 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Tip: Mix well to combine.
- 3
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.
- 4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the white chocolate chips.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- 5
Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Tip: The dough should be slightly sticky.
- 6
Scoop out small balls of dough and roll them in a plate of granulated sugar to coat.
Tip: This will help the snickerdoodles to retain their shape.
- 7
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2cm of space between each snickerdoodle.
Tip: Make sure to leave enough space for even spreading.
- 8
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Tip: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the snickerdoodles are cool, drizzle with the dulce de leche and serve.
Tip: You can also sandwich a layer of dulce de leche between two snickerdoodles for an extra-decadent treat.

Bacon & hot honey pancakes
You've got to try these bacon and hot honey pancakes because they're an absolute game changer for brunch. The beauty of this recipe is how quick it comes together, ready in less than 45 minutes from start to finish. I love the contrast of sweet and savoury with crispy bacon, melted cheese, and that gorgeous drizzle of hot honey that brings everything together. The jalapeños add a nice kick without overwhelming your taste buds, and red onions bring some real nutritional punch with their quercetin content, which actually supports heart health. This is simple comfort food that feels fancy but honestly requires minimal fuss in the kitchen.

Peach melba tatin
This is my favorite way to reinvent a classic dessert. By combining the elegance of Peach Melba with a show stopping tatin, you get a dessert that looks fancy but comes together in just over an hour. Peaches are wonderfully low in calories and packed with vitamin C, so you can feel good about indulging. The beauty of this recipe is that most home cooks already have puff pastry in the freezer, making it incredibly practical for unexpected guests. Caramelized peaches paired with tart raspberries and creamy vanilla ice cream create pure magic on the plate.

Tomato salad with chilli oil, Thai basil & burrata
This is one of my favorite summer dishes to throw together when tomatoes are at their peak. The combination of creamy burrata with juicy tomatoes and a punchy chilli oil dressing feels like a restaurant quality meal, but honestly, it comes together in under 40 minutes with minimal effort. The beauty of this salad is that it's genuinely good for you too, especially with the lycopene in the tomatoes which is brilliant for heart health. Plus, if you've got fresh Thai basil on hand, you're basically done. It's elegant enough for guests but simple enough for a solo lunch.
