Banana Muffins
Never make eye contact while eating a banana. It’s a rule. Making eye contact while eating one of these banana muffins however, is perfectly acceptable. So are high fives and bum taps. These are a cinch to make. I whizz mine up in the food processor to make it even easier.
Chimichurri Sauce
When I started traveling to Buenos Aires for work, I fell in love with the Argentinean sauce called chimichurri. It’s fresh and vinegary (is that even a word?) and works so well with grilled meats. The good news is you don’t have to fly all the way to South America to...
Spanish Chicken Casserole
While I’d like to say I tasted this dish in some awesome restaurant travelling through Spain last summer, that would be a lie. This dish was invented in my little Satwa kitchen, because I had some chorizo in my fridge that was edging close to its use-by date and...
Chocolate Orange Balls
Call me immature, but the word balls makes me snicker like a school girl. I was going to call these truffles, or bites or something, but hey, everyone likes tasty balls right?! Along with enjoying the word balls, I also enjoy a chocolate-orange combo. Like a Jaffa (delicious Australian treat) or a Terry’s Chocolate Orange […]

Caramel Banana Chia Pudding

Carrot Cake Bites
If you have to put a ball in your mouth, it may as well be the tastiest one possible and these guys are up there on the yum-o-meter. All the flavours of a carrot cake without all that tedious baking business? Where do I sign? The trick is don’t overwork the mixture once you add […]
Fig & Sesame Cookie
This recipe came about from sheer fatigue. While I’d like to pretend I’m some sort of kitchen whizz and cooking goddess, some days I simply can’t be arsed pitting cherries, activating nuts or cleaning the juicer. Especially that juicer. Last weekend I was having one...
Chocolate & Beetroot Cupcakes
So I’m at it again, adding vegetables to dessert! These cupcakes are moist (I hate this word by the way), dense and delicious, and will win over any chocoholic. I used pre-cooked, vacuum packed beetroot that I found in the fruit and veg department of the supermarket....
Roast Vegetable ‘Cous Cous’
Cauliflower was one of those vegetables I hated as a kid. I was all like “but muuuuuuum, I don’t want to eat it! It smells like faaaaaaarts!’ (said in annoying, whiny kid-speak).Cauliflower took my rejection, bided his time, and now, 30 or so years later he is happy with his place as one of my […]
