About me

Hey! I’m Elien from Wellington NZ.

I’m doing my best on a teeny section in the suburbs to provide my family with as much homegrown and homemade food as possible.

I’m a self confessed sourdough addict and I love ALL things cooking and baking. I would love to have you join me on my journey in my garden and kitchen.

Homemade Scented Candles // These were last year’s Christmas gifts and they were so much fun to make! You can tailor them to suit your own unique tastes and let your creativity run wild! They’re not hard to make either. 🕯
Link in my bio for my method. ☺️

My girls 🥰
Since the mornings got lighter they liked to wake us up with their songs of... uh joy? At 5:30am! Since then we got them this self service feeder and it’s amazing! I’m back to calling them my girls not ‘those chickens.’ 😜

Sourdough Puff Pastry // New Recipe
I’m excited about this one guys, albeit also a little done with pastry for the time being. There was a lot of recipe testing 😅. This sourdough puff pastry is not a rough puff, there’s a bit of work involved (though much less than croissants!) The end result is 💯 worth it though. Buttery, flakey and with that signature #sourdough tang. I’ve got my step by steps up on the blog with a link in my bio.
This pictured pastry shell is filled with Creme Patisserie, fresh strawberries and mint. The specific recipe for that will be on the blog later on this week. How cute is this dessert for Christmas Day though?
Happy baking friends!
