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

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

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...

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 chocolate is foul....
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.

Coconut Yoghurt Panna Cotta

Coconut Yoghurt Panna Cotta

I’ve tried numerous different recipes to make my own coconut yoghurt and I call bullshit on all of them. None of them work, it’s a bloody hoax. So while it pains me to pay the same price for a tub of COYO here in Dubai as I would pay for a decent bottle of wine at...

Coconut Panna Cotta

Coconut Panna Cotta

So Panna Cotta translates to “cooked cream” in Italian. I think I can get away with calling this Panna Cotta because I use coconut cream, but there’s very little cooking involved I can assure you. These babies can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, setting nicely...

Christmas Pudding Balls

Christmas Pudding Balls

Im not a huge fan of some traditional Christmas desserts that people seem to keep flogging every year… Christmas cake, nope. Trifle, slop. Panettone, dry as a nun’s nancy.  But the old Chrissy pud seems to go down alright with the punters. So this year I’ve busied...

CHOCOLATE PEPITAS

CHOCOLATE PEPITAS

So last time we were home in Australia, the hubs picked up a bag of chocolate coated pepitas at the store. Loved them. Munched through a few bags while we were there. Bought several bags to bring back to Dubai with him. Munched through those. Wasn’t until the last...

CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

Trump is president, there are people that still believe the earth is flat and influencers on instagram still think anyone gives a toss about their beauty routine. Gwen Stefanie was right – “this shit’s bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!” Well, when the world gives you bananas,...

Choc Hazelnut Cookies

Choc Hazelnut Cookies

While we can all agree that chocolate and hazelnuts are a match made in heaven, I’m sure we can also agree that Nutella can go F itself. That crap is lethal. One would expect the first ingredients of a chocolate nut spread to be, gee, I don’t know, at a wild guess,...

Choc Chip Cookies

Choc Chip Cookies

Raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the main reason why we have trust issues. Don’t worry fam, I got you. These guys look just like their profile pic and their bio is an honest list of healthy ingredients that you could take home to mum. They’re...
