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 […]
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...
If this was the Melbourne Cup, then this is the winning trifecta ticket. It’s cake, it’s chocolate, it’s coffee. What more do you want? I am partial to a bloody good coffee, and speaking of Melbourne, it is hands down the best place to get one. You have to tolerate a...
Who doesn’t enjoy a good tasty sauce with their barbecued meats? Unfortunately, most of the sauces readily available are chock full of sugars, gluten, preservatives and other nasties that you don’t want to eat or give to your kids. This Paleo Spicy BBQ recipe is super...

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....
Hi kale-haters! I'm back with another yummy recipe to try to change your mind. If Mr Smith asked me "what's for dinner?" and I answered "salad", he would look at me like I was a crazy person. But this isn't just any old rabbit food salad. I wouldn't do you like that....
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...
There is a little restaurant in Bangkok called Ban Chiang which I visit every time I’m there. It’s quite an unexpected place considering its location, but it never disappoints. It’s in an old Thai house, surrounded by loads of greenery and serves the most kick-ass...
