Paleo Hacks
Beetroot and Roasted Walnut Dip
Not enough dip for your chips? Not enough chips for your dip? Total disaster. I have the solution to your First World Problems. Make your own. You are now in control. Not some supermarket overlord who wants to decide your snacking limits.
Basic Mayonnaise
Seriously, who can be arsed making mayo the tedious cheffy way books tell you, by whisking in drop by drop of oil? Not this little black duck that’s for shizzle. I’ve got things to do, people to see, Game of Thrones to watch. This here mayo is whipped up in seconds...
Italian Meatballs
It took me ages to decide what to name this dish…..just kidding! These bad boys contain tomatoes, basil and Balsamic vinegar, call me predictable but I think it was pretty obvious where we were going here. These are a pretty stock standard...
Caramel Slice
Caramel slice is one of those treats from your childhood. So sickly sweet from the condensed milk and loaded with sugar. It was always part of any good birthday party spread. I wouldn't dream of eating that version nowadays, so I decided to try my...
Lime Pie Squares
So over a herbal tea (wine) I had an intellectual meeting of minds (rambling pointless conversation) with a couple of deep thinkers (my wine-drinking baes) about politics (our favourite smells). Limes made the top 5 of things I like the smell of....
Chocolate Pots
Looking for something super straight forward and simple for a mid-week dessert or a relaxed dinner party? I've got your back. You can jazz these babies up to make them look all pretty and special (a.k.a. like you've spent loads of time on them)....
Kladdkaka (Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake)
You don't have to be called Sven or Ulrika to want to get this tastiness all up and around your mouth. It's everything you want in a dessert - chocolatey, dense and gooey. Those Swedes don't just do furniture and kitschy 70's pop bands, they know a...
Mango Sauce
Oh hell no mayo! Back it up ketchup! None of that store bought crap around here. There's just no need when it takes literally minutes to knock together tasty sauces that have none of that added garbage in them. Take your taste buds on a tropical...
Lemon & Pistachio Macaroons
I've got a lover-ly bunch of coconuts...well at least I used to until Crossfit stole them. But that's another story. I do like coconut though. And seeing as coconut is the main ingredient in macaroons, well I like those too. What?? You're buying...
Dukkah
Do you even dukkah? If you don't you should start. This crumbly Egyptian spice mix is like fairy dust, you'll want to sprinkle that shizzle everywhere. Add to soups, salads, or dressings. Mix it through zoodles. Roast it on your veggies. Spice up...
Lebanese Tahina Fish (Samke Harra)
Let's be honest, plain white fish is just a bit, well, beige. I'm guessing though, if you're reading this, you're not here for my charm and good looks and you're expecting a solution for this beigeness. Well, ta-da! I present you with my version of...
Muhammara
So you think hummus is the only awesome Middle Eastern dip in town? Think again. Hummus, you've had your day in the sun, it's time to let your other mezze-licious mates have some love. And I sure do love me some Muhammara. This stuff is cracking...
Muesli
I love breakfast. Especially a nice leisurely weekend breakfast. I judge hotels on their breakfast. I'm also quite partial to breakfast for dinner if the mood takes me. If someone says they don't eat breakfast, I give them the look. You know the...
Raw Banana Coconut Brownies
It's brownie time bitches! Not just any brownie either, these mofos are raw and freaking fudgy as. Whizzed up in a matter of seconds, these one-dish-wonders are the answer to your chocolatey prayers. I even snuck in some potassium-toting fruit so...
