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...
Sweet Potato and Tahina Brownies

Sweet Potato and Tahina Brownies

So this is my second brownie recipe to appear on the site, and the second one to contain a cheeky vegetable. This may be a pattern… I know, I know, chomping down on a brownie made of mashed vegetable and sesame paste sounds about as appealing as having an ingrown...

Strawberry Shortcakes

Strawberry Shortcakes

Go shorty, its your birthday…and these are exactly what you should be making to celebrate. Or because you got a promotion. Or because you ate a whole meal in a white t-shirt without spilling something on it. Or you haven’t killed your brain cells by watching Love...

Salted Caramel Fudge

Salted Caramel Fudge

I’m a big fan of simple recipes, especially when I can knock them together with stuff that’s always hanging around in my pantry. I call this little stroke of genius freezer fudge, because its damn delicious eaten straight from there and also because when the...

Salted Caramel Bites

Salted Caramel Bites

Whoever thought of putting salted caramel and chocolate together is an absolute genius. Hands down one of the best flavour combos ever! These little bites of awesome are crazy good and super simple to put together. They’re best eaten straight out of the fridge because...

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie

I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but I can definitely get on board with the theme of all things pumpkin, especially in pie form. What genius decided to put a vegetable into dessert? I’m banking on the same hero that went “I’m baking a cake. I have no chocolate. This...

Prune, Almond & Orange Brownies

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 you’re a grinch and...

Pineapple Curd

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 pineapple in the...

Pecan and Date Muffins

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

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 being married to that...

Orange Blossom Chia Pudding

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 play around with...

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...
