It’s been just over a week since I landed in Sydney, and I must admit, I really am loving all the sunny weather – it’s such a welcome change from the long dark days of late autumn in Sweden. Thanks so much to everyone who came along to my book signing at Books [...]

I’m super excited to share the news that I’ve been shortlisted for this year’s Pinterest UK Food + Drink Awards. Rather appropriately, I’ve been nominated in the ‘Best twist on tradition‘ category (I’ve always liked adding my own [...]

I’m busy packing my bags ready to fly to sunny Australia. That’s right, I’ll be returning Down Under to Sydney for a few weeks, where I’ll be filming a second season of Zumbo’s Just Desserts. The great news is, I’ve managed to squeeze in a [...]
