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...

Mushroom & Chestnut Soup

Mushroom & Chestnut Soup

Why did the mushroom get invited to the party? Because he was a fun-gi. Isn't it funny that when you were a kid you wouldn't touch a mushroom with a 10 foot pole because they looked all weird and gross, and now as an adult I'd pretty much go foraging in the woodlands...

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...
