Hi there, I’m Jess.

An Aussie girl living in Sydney, Australia, who loves to create no-fuss recipes that taste amazing!

A foodie at heart, I love to travel and taste test along the way. I’m particularly fond of the USA and get much of my baking inspiration from their expansive culinary culture.

Peanut butter cheesecake, red velvet whoopie pies and smores galore, I’m in my element when creating, baking and shooting calorie-laden desserts.

My husband and I love Sydney. We have fallen for the city’s vibrancy, world-class beaches and delicious food scene. Come visit!

Monday to Friday, I earn my pay check working as a content designer. On the weekends, you’ll find me enjoying brunch at a beachside bakery – that is when I’m not baking up a storm for Sweetest Menu.

So far we have been blessed to visit Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Washington DC, San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Seattle and San Diego. We plan to explore more of the South on our next adventure, so I can taste sweet pies and peach cobbler and enjoy real Southern hospitality. I also have my sights set on Chicago, because I really really want to go to the Bang Bang Pie Shop.

(Update: We just got back from another trip to the USA and can now tick Nashville, Charleston, Savannah and Chicago off the bucket list. And YES I did make it to the Bang Bang Pie Shop! Between that, deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s and hot dogs and cake shakes at Portillos, Chicago blew my food-loving mind. Read more about it HERE.)
