Seasonal Baking Recipes & Botanical Linens and Prints
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 cookbooks, Country Style magazine column 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 cookbooks The Plain Cake Appreciation Society and Handfuls of Sunshine are available online and in all good bookstores.
So, please pull up a chair, let me make you a cup of tea (wouldn’t that be nice?) and have a look around…

Seasonal Recipes
Fruit Mince & Frangipane Pies
Fruit mince pies are one of the mandatory items on my Christmas bake-list – my mum always makes them in the days leading up to Christmas and it is a tradition I have adopted also.
Good Fruit Mince
Good homemade fruit mince has the remarkable ability to convert even the most die-hard mince pie haters (I know, I used to be one!). This recipe, from my book Handfuls of Sunshine, is stuffed with prunes and sour cherries, with a good slosh of Pedro Ximénez thrown in for added cheer.
Short Sweet Pastry
This is the pastry I use for sweet tart shells. It's from my book Handfuls of Sunshine and my kids love it so much they will eat the cooked pastry unfilled (the ultimate compliment).
Burnt Butter Oat Bars
Like a cross between a giant Anzac biscuit and an oaty digestive, these Burnt Butter Oat Bars are a favourite go-to in our house with a cup of tea. They are from my new book Handfuls of Sunshine - and are staggeringly simple and wholesomely delicious in equal measure.
Spiced Pear & Semolina Cake
This cake is a sturdy autumnal number – gently spiced with chai tea and cardamom, and with a pleasant chew from semolina. Serve at room temperature with a cup of tea, or warm with a puddle of cream for a more pudding-y vibe.
Citrus Melting Moments
These citrus melting moments are cheering in the extreme. Just the thing with a cup of tea ...
Cinnamon Buns
Warm from the oven, these sweet buns really are a delight. They're also very simple to make ...
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).
