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 milk powder and soy. I...

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 eyeliner than...

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 Miranda while making...
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...

CHEATS COCONUT YOGHURT

CHEATS COCONUT YOGHURT

Coconut yoghurt is bloody delicious. My addiction to the stuff is real. Have they put crack in it? The way its priced here in Dubai, I think they might have. Anyway, I’ve tried a couple of times to make the stuff using coconut milk, probiotic capsules and patience,...

Chai Spiced Almond Butter Loaf

Chai Spiced Almond Butter Loaf

Yeah, yeah, I know nut butter is delicious straight from the jar, but have you tried it in cake form? Nah, neither had I until I knocked together this little beauty. It rates highly on my AF rating meter. It’s tasty AF, healthy AF and easy AF to make. So use your loaf...

Cappuccino Cookies

Cappuccino Cookies

Coffee. I love the stuff. It smells awesome, tastes awesome and my morning cup makes me feel like I’ve got my shit together. I don’t, but it makes me feel like I do. So it really was a no-brainer to make it into a cookie flavour so I could have my coffee and eat it...

Bounty Bites

Bounty Bites

Surprise! Easter is almost upon us. It was hard not to notice though seeing as all the Easter paraphernalia has been in the shops since the fat man and his reindeers cleared out. So on the topic of Easter, lets talk about Cadbury Creme Eggs. They are repulsive. That...

BANANA, BLUEBERRY & COCONUT CAKE

BANANA, BLUEBERRY & COCONUT CAKE

Dubai doesn’t have the tropical temps to grow bananas, so they’re shipped in. This is unfortunate, because these shipped in bananas taste like arse. I literally only buy bananas here to let them get too ripe, then use them in baking. It’s the only way they are edible....

Bakewell Slice

Bakewell Slice

So this treat is traditionally a tart with a pastry crust, jammy layer and almondy frangipane. Delicious. Then they go and ruin it by covering it with that sickly white fondant icing and top it with a glacé cherry so it looks like a British girls boob in the middle of...

APRICOT CRUMBLE SLICE

APRICOT CRUMBLE SLICE

I don’t know about you, but I’ll go in the pantry and I’ll have 5 bags of something and I truly have no idea how that came about. Like, am I high when I go to the store? Have I got the munchies? And it’s always something you don’t use much, in this case, I had a...
