About

Hi there!

My name is Gordana, a thirty year old living in New Zealand. I was born and (partly) raised in Belgrade, Serbia. We moved to New Zealand when I was 10 years old. I have now been living here for almost 20 years. I love going back and visiting Serbian when I can. I have an amazing partner in my life, Leon, we have been together for 10 years. We have two adorable tabby cats called Atlas & Titan. In my early 20’s I went to University and completed a Conjoint Degree in Early Childhood Education and Art History, but becoming a teacher was not my true passion.

I started this blog as a creative outlet to show my love for food and to share some recipes with you. My cooking is inspired by my Serbian culture. I am by no means an expert, trust me I have my fair share of kitchen blunders, but I am eager to continually be improving! My hope would be to inspire just one person out there to enjoy being in the kitchen. Maybe I can introduce you to a new recipe you have never tried before 😊. 

Along with all the recipes, I also use this space to share bits of my life outside the kitchen – including photos and journeys of my favorite trips 🌍. Traveling is one of my biggest passions.

So, welcome to this blog of mine. I hope you find something you enjoy here.

Here is a little spin on the traditional baklava - a Chocolate, Walnut & Pistachio Baklava.

I did not know what to expect when I made this because I am so use to the tradional walnut baklava with a sugar and lemon syrup. But I really wanted to give this a go.

There is more chocolate in here than anything. There is only a small amount of walnuts and pistachios. They are just there for the crunch factor!

Either way, this is DELICIOUS.

We will be sharing this chocolate baklava with as many friends as possible because there is a lot to get through 🙂 or I might freeze some for a later time 🍫
I made some delicious homemade Hot Cross Buns for the first time ever! And you know what? I love them, they are sooooo good, they smell amaziiiing. They are so good when they are warm out of the oven 🤤 and I glazed these with some apricot jam so they are extra yummy!
Apples and pastry go so well together! 
I made these apple pastries a few nights ago and I think they are best when eaten warm out of the oven 😁 warm pastry and a warm apple filling! Delicious 😀
Got our macarons from @jaimelesmacarons_ today!! These are absolutely delicious 😁 my favourite is the chocolate flavour ❤
