Making Veggie stock from Scraps
Stock or broth is something I always have in the fridge or freezer, whether its veg or meat-based. It’s the base for knocking up quick soups, gives body and flavour to slow cooked dishes, perfect for braising leafy greens and deglazing pans. Here’s a great way to...
Explaining Chronic Inflammation
So we keep hearing the term inflammation being bandied about, which seems like a pretty broad term, and also can be cured with a turmeric latte if you listen to all the hippy-dippy-do-dah "wellness" bloggers out there, but what does it actually mean? It's basically...
Prune, Almond & Orange Brownies
Prunes. They’re not just for keeping old people regular you know. This daggy dried fruit just helped me make the richest, squishiest brownies that your sweet tooth can handle. The prune/orange combo gives them a bit of a Christmassy flavour, but if...
Pineapple Curd
I always thought making curd was one of the tedious, pain-in-the-hole things that only your gran could be bothered to do, but my way was super easy. I was going to make your stock standard lemon curd for my first foray, but there was a container of...
Pecan and Date Muffins
I love muffins! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to post a muffin recipe. Madness. Anyway, these are a nice dense texture, not overly sweet and a winning flavour combo. I hope you agree.
Orange Cardamom Olive Oil Cake
Sometimes when the world all gets too much, I like to bake. It gives me comfort. Like when I think back to all the time I invested in Game of Thrones and the finale was a trash fire, I made cookies. Or when I realised a Hemsworth was wasted by...
Orange Blossom Chia Pudding
Yeah, yeah, its chia pudding, but I’m not trying to win Masterchef here, I’m just trying to give you healthy stuff that tastes good. What can I say, you get the seed/liquid balance right on these guys and you’re home and hosed. Then you can just...
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...
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...
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...
Matcha Chia Pudding
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...
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
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...
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...
