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...
Orange & Macadamia Blondies

Orange & Macadamia Blondies

Do blondes really have more fun? I don’t know, but I sure had some good times eating these guys. I managed to nail these on the first go so I did a little happy dance. Not a jump out of a moving car and bust some average moves to Drake for the ‘gram kind of dance...

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....

ALMOND BUTTER BLONDIES

ALMOND BUTTER BLONDIES

Do blondes really have more fun? I know sure as shit I had a lot of fun eating these guys. But if lockdown in 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that there’s a hell of a lot less natural blondes than we once thought, but these guys certainly fit the bill. Full of the...

ALMOND BISCOTTI

ALMOND BISCOTTI

Beam me up biscotti (dad joke, soz). The Italians might want to run me over with their Vespas because I put pineapple on pizza, but surely they’d be ok with me remaking their fave little bikkys without the gluten, grains and processed sugar? These little dudes aren’t...

Honey & Thyme Roasted Apricots

Honey & Thyme Roasted Apricots

I live in Dubai, where fruit is really hit and miss to say the least. It can be expensive, tasteless, more well travelled than me, or a combo of all 3. My way around this is pretty simple. If I’ve once again made a crap purchase of tasteless fruit, I roast it. Stone...

Za’atar Scones

Za’atar Scones

With all my baking, you’d think I was a real sweet tooth, but I’m a lover of all things savoury. And za’atar, well, I’m all in on that stuff too. It’s bloody delicious in all its herby goodness. I sprinkle that stuff like green fairy dust onto soups and salads for a...

ANZAC biscuits

ANZAC biscuits

My favourite biscuit of all time. And when I say biscuit I mean it in the Aussie/British sense, not in the American sense. And while I have you here America, why do you call scones biscuits? And why do you serve them with gravy? And why is your gravy all white and...

Golden Milk Chia Pudding

Golden Milk Chia Pudding

I love me some Golden Milk Latte. Yep, I know its totally wanky and hipstery, but its so damn delicious. It’s like a hug in a mug, and I’d like to think that all that turmeric is doing some good for my gammy knee joint. So I’ve taken it a step further from a drink to...

Cauliflower Turmeric Flatbread

Cauliflower Turmeric Flatbread

Are you looking for ways to cut carbs? I find a knife is the best solution...or you could try whipping up this flatbread. Grains and gluten can give some people a bad guts - pain, bloating and horrendous farts, which is a bit of a punch in the tit, especially if you...
