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.

Cranberry and Pistachio Cookies

I should really call these Impossible Cookies, because they are impossible to screw up. Use the base to add in your own variation of dried fruit and nuts and you’re in the zone.

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

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...
Lime & Coconut Loaf

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

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...

Chocolate & Beetroot Cupcakes

So I’m at it again, adding vegetables to dessert! These cupcakes are moist (I hate this word by the way), dense and delicious, and will win over any chocoholic. I used pre-cooked, vacuum packed beetroot that I found in the fruit and veg department of the supermarket....

Cherry Cake

Cherry Cake

Some girls get excited about shoes, handbags, jewellery. Me, well, I got a little excited about buying a cherry pitter the other day. I deadset got home and pitted like half a kilo of cherries (the novelty wore off halfway through, but I persevered. I’m dedicated like...

Turkish Delight Macaroons

Turkish Delight Macaroons

I remember my Grandad’s all time favourite chocolate bar was a Fry’s Turkish Delight, all wrapped up in its Charlie and the chocolate factory pink wrapper. I couldn’t quite get my head around the taste when I was a kid, but living in the Middle East for over a decade...

Lime Pie Bars

Lime Pie Bars

OMG! HOLD THE PHONE! These bars are no-bake, have 4 ingredients and can be whipped up in 5 minutes! Too good to be true you ask?? Not on my watch. I love coming up with super simple snacks for you guys. At the end of the day, we are all super busy, but we want […]

Paleo Banana Bread

Paleo Banana Bread

Is this the best Paleo Banana Bread ever? It might well be just that. Banana bread is a bit of an Aussie thing and it's one of my all-time favorites. The Antipodean version is less sweet and cakey than others, so it's good for a snack and perfect for toasting. Makes...
