Zucchini Bread
This recipe was created during one of Mummy’s fridge and pantry clean out sessions. Chef Gerald never likes the sight of a half-empty fridge, but he has come to accept the fact that we have to make room for fresh groceries on a weekly basis. The ingredient list here is rather long, however the cake […]
White Chocolate Rocky Road
Humans have fun with all sorts of naughty things, don’t they? Take that brown stuff called chocolate, for instance – they’re all crazy about it, and I’ve seen soooo many pictures of yummy chocolate cakes. But when you’re a parrot, you’re not allowed to have any – sigh….. And Mummy makes sure I never have […]

I’ve always thought that parrots are much better at having fun than humans, but that was before I found out about birthday celebrations, gifts and cake. Yes! Birthday Cake!

There could be lots of menacing grey clouds hovering outside our windows, and the wind could be howling, but you somehow don’t care about it too much when you’re busy mixing eggs and spices and sugar into a smooth silky batter […]
Pumpkin, Banana and Date Cake

Chef Gerald is always very happy when he is around fresh produce, and the opening of a huge box full of crunchy multicoloured goodies has exceptional appeal to him. […]
Beetroot, Fig and Walnut Cake
I know it’s the weekend when Mummy and I are getting ready to make another cake. Did I mention how much I love weekends? And how could you not? To start with, there are two days of sleeping in!!! I don’t know if you suffer from this, but every week for five days in a […]
