Zucchini Bread

Did you know that a zucchini is technically a fruit? Mind blown. It’s the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower. Slightly off putting. Now with this new fact, I find it the perfect time to quote my mate Brian O’Driscoll when I say….”knowledge is knowing a zucchini is a...

Vegan Pumpkin Brownies

If a brownie was vegan, paleo and gluten-free, what the hell would they talk about first? These guys wouldn’t need to be THAT annoying brownie, their deliciousness would speak for itself and all their brownie friends wouldn’t get pissed off at their preachy,...

Vegan Banana Bread Cookies

The world is in chaos right now and the only thing that makes sense is banana bread. Maybe it’s a metaphor for us all in COVID lock-down? Like the brown banana, there you are languishing on your couch, feeling unwanted, squishy, perhaps a little smelly, and ready to...

Sweet Potato Loaf

Sweet potato and I are at odds over me trying to make him into crispy oven-baked fries and him refusing to do so. He’s been a total stubborn arse over the matter to be honest. Apart from this issue, he is amazingly compliant in other recipes, happily spreading the...
Salted Caramel Fudge

Salted Caramel Fudge

I’m a big fan of simple recipes, especially when I can knock them together with stuff that’s always hanging around in my pantry. I call this little stroke of genius freezer fudge, because its damn delicious eaten straight from there and also because when the...

Orange & Almond Chocolate Fudge

Orange & Almond Chocolate Fudge

You know how everyone bangs on about how good Terrys Chocolate Orange is and there’s always someone who turns their nose up and says its gross? I just took a DNA test and I am 100% that bitch. Chocolate & orange I am totally down with, but milk chocolate is foul....

Nutella

Nutella

Want to know how Mr Ferrero named that brown sweet stuff? Someone asked him what was in it and he said “I’m nutelling you”. I wouldn’t tell anyone either because its full of crap that you really don’t want to eat like sugar, vegetable oil, skim milk powder and soy. I...

Well look at moi with my posh AF ingredients. So as far as green tea goes, matcha is by all accounts superior…full of antioxidants, calms the mind, improves cardiovascular health, does yoga every morning, never has a bad hair day, has better winged eyeliner than...

Mango Pudding

Mango Pudding

Don’t like the fish-eggy texture of a chia pudding? I got you. Those seedy little suckers whizz up nicely to make this smooth and creamy tropical treat. I know it says its for 2, but I wont judge if you eat it all yourself.

Mango Pie

Mango Pie

Just take a moment to appreciate this dish of sunshine. This is mango and coconut peeps, a match made in heaven. I decorated mine with coconut yoghurt and passion fruit, totally upping my tropical game. You may or may not want to dress as Carmen Miranda while making...

Lime & Coconut Loaf

Lime & Coconut Loaf

Everyone seems to be in chocolates corner when it comes to dessert, but I’m all about the citrus. I love a bit of zingy zang tang in my tastebuds. I’m very partial to a Key Lime Pie, or even a Lemon Meringue, minus the meringue, because gross. I’ve used coconut flour...

Lemon and Chia Seed Cake with Lemon Glaze

Lemon and Chia Seed Cake with Lemon Glaze

I grew up in Australia where Lemon and Poppyseed Cake is a normal bakery item, enjoyed with your feet up and a nice cuppa. No one thinks you’re going to get high or start an opium den with a slice of baked goods. Not so much here in the Middle East where I live, where...

Lemon & Coconut Macaroons

Lemon & Coconut Macaroons

Heeeeey macaroon-a! Wow, I must be getting tired, that’s a pretty lame dad joke if ever I’ve written one…. Now I’m not jumping on the KETO bandwagon, but I love how in a world full of calorie counters and If It Fits My Macros wank badgers, the KETO crowd are just...

Lamingtons

G’day mate, have a Captain Cook at what I’ve slapped up for Straya Day! Fair dinkum, ridgy didge, bloody bonza lammos! I’d say you’ve got a couple of roos loose in the top paddock if you don’t make these little rippers for all the Shazzas and Dazzas in your...
