Seasonal Baking Recipes

Hello!

Welcome to Tilly’s Table — here you’ll find seasonal baking recipes, Australian-made linens and cards, and other good things for your home and table.

Hello! I’m Tilly – a food writer and photographer based in the Blue Mountains, Australia. Here, in between chasing kids around, I photograph food and flowers and write seasonal baking recipes for my website and other publications. My photographs are available as greeting cards and table linens via my online store, and I share seasonal baking recipes and family stories via my newsletter. My first cookbook The Plain Cake Appreciation Society was published in 2023.

So, please pull up a chair, let me make you a cup of tea (wouldn’t that be nice?) and have a look around…

Feeling Social

It’s a glorious sparkly afternoon in the mountai

It’s a glorious sparkly afternoon in the mountains, and finally (it feels like it’s been a long week), it is also Friday. Hurrah! Couldn’t be more welcome.We’ve got swimming and a few chores to do in the morning, and then I’m hoping to get into the garden, where the weeds and forget-me-nots are attempting a take over. It’s green and pretty, but wildly unruly. The kids and I might also do a spot of baking (always). Some lunchbox fillers and old favourites.If you’re looking for a super simple, inordinately comforting little bake for the weekend too, may I suggest these chamomile & honey madeleines? You can find the recipe in the November issue of @countrystylemag, which is out now. (Beautiful ceramics @unearthed_clay) x

After a long hiatus, I’m pleased to say that I have a restock of greeting cards and cookbooks available on my online store! Tea towels are coming soon, I promise, but in the meantime, do pop over and have a look. x#tillystable #cookeatshare #australiandesign #theplaincakeappreciationsociety

A Weekday Lemon Cake and THE most glorious cake st

A Weekday Lemon Cake and THE most glorious cake stand. Just the things to brighten this cool, rainy Tuesday.The first piece of jewellery my (now) husband ever bought me was from @dinosaur_designs. A beautiful ring which I still wear and love. He has good taste (in jewellery and women. Ha!). So when this magnificent Temple cake stand & knife arrived last week (a generous gift from the team @dinosaur_designs), not long after our 10th wedding anniversary, it felt wonderfully serendipitous. And I feel wonderfully spoilt. Thank you @dinosaur_designs xSwipe for the recipe for my Weekday Lemon Cake (page 19 from my book ‘The Plain Cake Appreciation Society’). It’s an absolute doddle to make - and I can confirm that even if you bake it in a different sized tin and forget to add the melted butter, so stir it in once the batter is already in the tin, it turns out just fine! Very forgiving.#gifted #tillystable #cookeatshare #theplaincakeappreciationsociety #weekdaylemoncake

Friday. My favourite day. And always made better by the inclusion of cake. Like any day really.I love a good friand. Simple, small and delicious, what’s not to like? When I worked as a waitress as a teenager, a friand and frothy tall coffee was the height of sophistication (or so I thought). Now, my choice of beverage has definitely moved on since then, but I still do like a friand. These Earl Grey, Rose & Blueberry ones are rather good. You can find the recipe in the October issue of @countrystylemag which is out this week.Happy Friday! Hope your weekend is a good one. And includes at least one slice of cake! x

It’s been a glorious few days in the mountains;

It’s been a glorious few days in the mountains; warm, spring-like and totally delicious. Gosh, it’s been lovely. I didn’t realise just how much I needed it, but tipping my face to the sky and soaking up the sunshine has been thoroughly therapeutic.If you feel like a spot of therapeutic baking along with your sunshine this weekend, you could pick up a copy of the September @countrystylemag. In it you will find my recipe for this very comforting Spiced Parsnip & Apple Loaf. It’s an excellent weekend bake and rather good for a picnic tea, along with a flask of something hot. Happy days. x#tillystable #cookeatshare #countrystylemagazine

…and we’ve made it to Friday! Why is it that t

…and we’ve made it to Friday! Why is it that the first week back after the school holidays is such a chore? No one wants to snap back into routine, pack lunches and wake up on time. Least of all me… Ha!But Friday afternoon is here and with it a little reprieve. And maybe even some baking? After spending much of my life indifferent to the custard tart, I have now, finally, fully embraced it! And in the August issue of @countrystylemag you will find my recipe for this dried apricot compote layered number. Deliciously tart apricot the perfect foil for the creamy, rich custard.Happy weekend folks. x#tillystable #cookeatshare #countrystylemagazine

A little light (floral) relief for your Friday afternoon.Happy weekend friends. I hope it’s a good one. x#tillystable #cookeatshare #botanicaldaydreams

After a beautiful sunny few days in the mountains,

After a beautiful sunny few days in the mountains, the weather seems to have turned, just in time for the weekend. It’s looking like cosying-up inside with something warm might be a good idea.This sticky date & pear pudding is a favourite in our house at the moment, and happily, you can find the recipe in the June issue of @countrystylemag, out now. It’s just the thing for a cold winter evening (did I mention warm caramel sauce?) BYO blanket! x

Pistachio Cake with Rhubarb Buttercream
This cake combines quite a few of my favourite things – pistachios, rhubarb, and a hint of rose – and is also in my favourite colour-way, green and pink. Because who doesn’t feel cheerful in the face of pink icing?

Rhubarb & Raspberry Trifle
I have one final sweet offering for you before I sign off for Christmas and a few weeks of eating too much and doing too little - a rather impressive Rhubarb & Raspberry Trifle (if I do say so myself).

Meringues with Roasted Strawberries & Rosewater Cream
These meringues are exactly what I want to be eating at the moment. The weather has finally warmed up here and I feel like clouds of whipped cream, syrupy strawberries and crisp meringue.

Fruit Mince & Frangipane Pies
Fruit mince pies are one of the items on my mandatory Christmas cook-list (along with gingerbread and meringues) - my mum always makes them in the days leading up to Christmas and it is a tradition I have adopted also.

TillysTable_brownies3 — Sour Cherry & Shiraz Brownies
Years ago, when I ran a cake stall at the Bondi Farmers' Market, double chocolate brownies were my best seller. I would make trays and trays of them on Friday night and inevitably wish I had made one more tray when they sold out early the next morning.
