Gingerbread

While I'm not one to start decking the halls until we at least make it to December 1st, I'm all up for testing Christmas recipes well in advance. Such is my dedication, I've been testing brandy for the pudding for months. Well, not brandy exactly, more like wine. Wine...

Honey Sesame Chicken Noodles

To say I like my vegetable Spiralizer would be an understatement. I LOVE my vegetable Spiralizer!! It's an amazing, inexpensive kitchen tool that's easy to use and, most importantly, easy to clean (unlike you Mr Juicer hiding in the back of the cupboard taking up...

Italian Meatballs

It took me ages to decide what to name this dish…..just kidding! These bad boys contain tomatoes, basil and Balsamic vinegar, call me predictable but I think it was pretty obvious where we were going here.  These are a pretty stock standard mid-week meal at Casa...

Chocolate Pots

Looking for something super straight forward and simple for a mid-week dessert or a relaxed dinner party? I've got your back. You can jazz these babies up to make them look all pretty and special (a.k.a. like you've spent loads of time on them). They are so simple a...
Kladdkaka (Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake)

Kladdkaka (Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake)

You don't have to be called Sven or Ulrika to want to get this tastiness all up and around your mouth. It's everything you want in a dessert - chocolatey, dense and gooey. Those Swedes don't just do furniture and kitschy 70's pop bands, they know a thing or two about...

Lemon & Pistachio Macaroons

Lemon & Pistachio Macaroons

I've got a lover-ly bunch of coconuts...well at least I used to until Crossfit stole them. But that's another story. I do like coconut though. And seeing as coconut is the main ingredient in macaroons, well I like those too. What?? You're buying them from the store?...

Dukkah

Dukkah

Do you even dukkah? If you don't you should start. This crumbly Egyptian spice mix is like fairy dust, you'll want to sprinkle that shizzle everywhere. Add to soups, salads, or dressings. Mix it through zoodles. Roast it on your veggies. Spice up your eggs or crust up...

Lebanese Tahina Fish (Samke Harra)

Lebanese Tahina Fish (Samke Harra)

Let's be honest, plain white fish is just a bit, well, beige. I'm guessing though, if you're reading this, you're not here for my charm and good looks and you're expecting a solution for this beigeness. Well, ta-da! I present you with my version of Samke Harra, which...

Muesli

Muesli

I love breakfast. Especially a nice leisurely weekend breakfast. I judge hotels on their breakfast. I'm also quite partial to breakfast for dinner if the mood takes me. If someone says they don't eat breakfast, I give them the look. You know the look I'm talking...

Seafood Paella

Seafood Paella

The first time I ever went to Spain I was so excited to have authentic Paella. I hate to say it, but I was kind of disappointed. It seemed to me to be a big ol’ panful of rice with not a lot of much else. I needed a search party to help me find […]

Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Casserole

I know, I know, America has made a lot of mistakes on the food front. Did I say a lot? I meant to say a shit-tonne. They gave us cheese in a can people. WTF? But this here smooth, creamy, nutty dish of deliciousness is definitely not a food faux-pas. It should be...

Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet Potato Pie

Don’t just relegate sweet potato to the dinner table, sneak that shizzle into dessert and help everyone along with their 5 a day. I used to make a baked version of this bad boy, but because I’m a genius (a.k.a. lazy cow) I came up with a shortcut to the mouthgasm that is my Sweet […]

Hazelnut Fudge

Hazelnut Fudge

Fudge me sideways! What is this chocolatey awesomeness?? It’s my freaking hazelnut freezer fudge that’s what. Super duper easy to knock together if you have a food processor. If you don’t, well go give yourself an uppercut. How do you even live?

Super Salad Bowl

Super Salad Bowl

Being a bit of a veggie freak, I’m always buying surplus to the needs of my little household. I’m like a drunk girl in a 7-Eleven at 3am when I’m set loose in the markets, touching and sniffing everything with a big loony smile on my face. I’m convinced 63 bunches of kale is a […]
