“The Sweet Life in Paris”
I have always romantisied the idea of living in Paris for a year or so, perfecting my high school French and eating out with my lovely husband.

Coconut Slice
For me this is the ultimate childhood retro slice! It was one of my favourites as a child, and mums seemed to make it for school lunches, fetes and any “bring a plate” occasions.
