Poster Tuesday : It's back!

It's been a while...a long while, since I've had a poster Tuesday, but don't worry because it's back! Today I've been inspired by the work of Dutch designer Marius Roosendaal. View more work here and you can even order prints here.

Simply divine cheesecake slice

I've stumbled across a wonderfully easy cheesecake slice recipe using Arnott's lattice biscuits (remember those from your childhood?). Great for a quick cheesecake craving! I've made a few tweeks to make it my own (and slightly healthier).

Ingredients
1 pack lattice biscuits (possibly 2 packs depending on the size of your dish)
125g light cream cheese
approx 200g fresh ricotta
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
zest and juice of one lemon
2 tsp gelatine (dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water)

Method
Beat together the cream cheese, ricotta, sugar, and vanilla essence until smooth. Add in the lemon zest, juice and dissolved gelatine and mix until combined. Cover your dish with non-stick paper (optional) and  place a layer of biscuits on the base, sugar side down. Evenly spread the mixture and place another layer, sugar side up, of the lattice biscuits. Cover and refrigerate until set. Enjoy with friends!

Afternoon tea

If you're ever in need of a fool-proof afternoon tea, I can highly recommend homemade instant pancakes from the Nigella Express cookbook. I make mine slightly smaller and serve with jam and whipped cream – yum!

What’s in my handbag

I love my Mimco handbag, but it's starting to feel the ravages of time. I think the ridiculous amount of things I keep in there has something to do with it. I've recently purchased a fabulous travel wallet from my dear friend at fellowfellow to keep all my letters, receipts and other miscellaneous paper goods neatly together. I usually have an excess of one particular item in my bag – it seems to be lip gloss and business card holders right now! Here's a peak at what's floating around in my handbag at the moment.
