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...
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

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...

Hot Cross Buns

Hot Cross Buns

Let’s talk Easter treats. Hands down, Cadbury Creme Eggs have got to be one of the grossest things ever invented. C’mon, I can’t be on my own here? Who in their right mind eats that shit? On the other hand, Hot Cross Buns I’m very happy with. They are my second...

Gingerbread Cookies

Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas. It’s the most awesome time of the year. But just because it’s awesome doesn’t mean you start getting all Christmassy in October. That’s just stupid. But it’s now the latter part of November which is a perfectly acceptable time to...

Fruit and nut bread

Fruit and nut bread

This here loaf of loveliness is hands down one of my favourite things I make. It’s like next level raisin toast, except I’ve gone the no-raisin route and completely tilted the “stuff inside” to “bread” ratio to a level that I like, which is chock a block, obviously....

Espresso Protein Chia Pudding

People who say expresso instead of espresso need to get in the bin. Same deal with you guys that say excetera and supposably. And if anyone says pacific instead of specific, please go apologise to your English teacher. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
