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...

Lime Pie Squares

So over a herbal tea (wine) I had an intellectual meeting of minds (rambling pointless conversation) with a couple of deep thinkers (my wine-drinking baes) about politics (our favourite smells). Limes made the top 5 of things I like the smell of. Seriously how good...

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 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 […]

Date and Walnut Loaf

Date and Walnut Loaf

I was digging around the other day through my old cookbooks and came across a hand-written recipe from a family friend for this cake. Her version had the usual crap like flour and sugar though, but not on my watch sweetheart. I told those fools to take a hike, and...

Roast Cauliflower Hummus

Roast Cauliflower Hummus

Screw you superfoods, I’m all about the super veg. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, cauliflower is my spirit animal. It’s like the ultimate kitchen chameleon, morphing into whatever you need to keep kicking Paleo goals. This week my Brassica bestie lends his...

Banana Coconut Pie

Banana Coconut Pie

If you dig banana and coconut, then you are going to agree that this pie is most excellent. Along with the 2 obvious ingredients, I've invited along lots of good healthy fats to this pie party. I did tell a few unwelcome guests not to show up like grains, gluten and...

Nut Crusted Salmon

Nut Crusted Salmon

I love me some salmon for my din dins! Not only is it the tastiest darn fish on the market, but packs some powerful health punches to boot. Got some fussy fish eaters at your digs? Convince them to chow down on those Omega 3's by sticking some nuts to those pink...

Romesco Sauce

Romesco Sauce

Romesco Sauce is the duck’s nuts. It takes everything from ‘ho hum’ to ‘shit yeah!’ in a splodge of a spoonful. It’s especially awesome on grilled seafood and pork, or as a healthy dip with veg sticks.

Guacamole with Sweet Potato Chips

Guacamole with Sweet Potato Chips

Julia Child once said “a party without guacamole is just a meeting”. Oh wait, what? She said that about cake? Are you sure? Not the good green stuff? My bad. Well, sorry Julz, I hate to say it, but maybe that’s why you were a little on the heavy side? Less cake, more gauc!
