Nothing cures hunger quite like a thick slap of juicy steak. So satisfying yet so simple to make. All you really need is a nice cut of meat, a good quality thick pan (cast iron!), olive oil, and a dash of salt & pepper.

This was the first four-layer cake I have ever attempted and also the longest I have ever spent on a single recipe. There wasn’t a special occasion or persistent craving – I just felt like making something big and yummy (and maybe I was a bit bored)!

My indecisiveness – combined with my boyfriend’s response of “that looks good” to everything – made it hard to pick something out of that 1500 page giant.
