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 used coconut flour...

Lemon and Chia Seed Cake with Lemon Glaze

I grew up in Australia where Lemon and Poppyseed Cake is a normal bakery item, enjoyed with your feet up and a nice cuppa. No one thinks you’re going to get high or start an opium den with a slice of baked goods. Not so much here in the Middle East where I live, where...

Lemon & Coconut Macaroons

Heeeeey macaroon-a! Wow, I must be getting tired, that’s a pretty lame dad joke if ever I’ve written one…. Now I’m not jumping on the KETO bandwagon, but I love how in a world full of calorie counters and If It Fits My Macros wank badgers, the KETO crowd are just...

Lamingtons

G’day mate, have a Captain Cook at what I’ve slapped up for Straya Day! Fair dinkum, ridgy didge, bloody bonza lammos! I’d say you’ve got a couple of roos loose in the top paddock if you don’t make these little rippers for all the Shazzas and Dazzas in your...
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...

Orange & Almond Chocolate Fudge

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....

ALMOND BUTTER BLONDIES

ALMOND BUTTER BLONDIES

Do blondes really have more fun? I know sure as shit I had a lot of fun eating these guys. But if lockdown in 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that there’s a hell of a lot less natural blondes than we once thought, but these guys certainly fit the bill. Full of the...

ALMOND BISCOTTI

ALMOND BISCOTTI

Beam me up biscotti (dad joke, soz). The Italians might want to run me over with their Vespas because I put pineapple on pizza, but surely they’d be ok with me remaking their fave little bikkys without the gluten, grains and processed sugar? These little dudes aren’t...

Honey & Thyme Roasted Apricots

Honey & Thyme Roasted Apricots

I live in Dubai, where fruit is really hit and miss to say the least. It can be expensive, tasteless, more well travelled than me, or a combo of all 3. My way around this is pretty simple. If I’ve once again made a crap purchase of tasteless fruit, I roast it. Stone...

Za’atar Scones

Za’atar Scones

With all my baking, you’d think I was a real sweet tooth, but I’m a lover of all things savoury. And za’atar, well, I’m all in on that stuff too. It’s bloody delicious in all its herby goodness. I sprinkle that stuff like green fairy dust onto soups and salads for a...

ANZAC biscuits

ANZAC biscuits

My favourite biscuit of all time. And when I say biscuit I mean it in the Aussie/British sense, not in the American sense. And while I have you here America, why do you call scones biscuits? And why do you serve them with gravy? And why is your gravy all white and...

Golden Milk Chia Pudding

Golden Milk Chia Pudding

I love me some Golden Milk Latte. Yep, I know its totally wanky and hipstery, but its so damn delicious. It’s like a hug in a mug, and I’d like to think that all that turmeric is doing some good for my gammy knee joint. So I’ve taken it a step further from a drink to...

Cauliflower Turmeric Flatbread

Cauliflower Turmeric Flatbread

Are you looking for ways to cut carbs? I find a knife is the best solution...or you could try whipping up this flatbread. Grains and gluten can give some people a bad guts - pain, bloating and horrendous farts, which is a bit of a punch in the tit, especially if you...
