In a trip to Singapore at the beginning of the year, we really could not resist walking by Haagen-Daz’s fondue set and made a valiant attempt at demolishing it. 3 different types of chocolate icecream, banana…

Very yummy…Well, I guess it turned me off chocolate for a good month, but hey…still loving it!

There are few things in life more comforting to me than the smells of vanilla and chocolate… particularly if combined.

I remember being particularly enamoured with any makeup/beauty product that smelt of vanilla or chocolate though, particularly in lipbalms…mm…

These bite-sized vanilla bean cupcakes with milk chocolate ganache are just the thing for a sweet craving. Aren’t they cute? I love using real vanilla bean in cooking. There’s something so sophisticated about those dark flecks in the batter and in the crumb.
