You know what, sometimes I don’t want to make a treat out of coconut, quinoa and flaxseeds. Sometimes I want an actual treat, a real treat, a good old-fashioned treat. Enter lime syrup cupcakes. I’ve got an oversupply of limes on my hands right now. I honestly don’t know how it happens. I’m usually a hoarder…
Dairy-free coconut and raspberry loaf
I love a loaf, oh how I love a loaf. Not only are they super-simple to make (they practically bake themselves, no Thermomix required), but actual loafing is also my favourite past time. ‘Loaf’ is one of those humble almost-forgotten-but-nevertheless-awesome foodie words. Mind you, my favourite is definitely ‘groke’ which is a lost old Scots word meaning “to…
On-the-go breakfast bars
Are your kids good at breakfast? My girls are not. I mean, they eat breakfast every single day, but a bowl of cereal has not touched their lips since the Farex days. They won’t do toast either. They won’t do anything that doesn’t involve intense preparation: Scrambled eggs and ham; buckwheat pancakes and fruit; bacon and cheese…
How to make taralli
My story about making passata with Nonna and Nonno touched many hearts, so I thought I’d bring you another Italian staple – taralli. Taralli are like very crispy bagels and are made to various recipes all over Italy. Nonna makes hers with fennel seeds and they are moreish and perfect for an afternoon snack, to serve…

Enough said! Coconut, white chocolate and raspberry wholegrain muffins Makes 10 muffins 1¾ cups wholemeal self-raising flour ⅓ cup raw caster sugar ¾ cup white chocolate,…
Wholemeal buttermilk pancakes
Do you have a go-to special breakfast? Ours is buttermilk pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Oh my, we love them so! Health warnings be damned – bacon is just too important. This is my favourite buttermilk pancake recipe that we’ve been making for years and years. I’ve got my pancake making down to an…
Quick mix cookies
Sometimes you don’t want to muck around making the world’s best chocolate chip cookies. Because biscuits like that involve creaming the sugar and butter for a rather long time. Sometimes you just want a quick mix biscuit recipe that you can whip up in a storm. This is that recipe. It will take you 5…
Chicken and leek pies
I love making these chicken and leek pies for family picnics. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever made them to eat at home! There’s just something about a pie that demands outside eating. These pies seem a bit fussy, but they’re really not. You can add in extra vegetables if you like a vegie flavour…
Bella blueberry yoghurt cake
Way at the beginning of the year Stacey at Veggie Mama blogged a Blueberry yoghurt cake and I just went OMG WOW. Because Stacey is awesome and because yoghurt and cake just sound so good together don’t they? And we know I’m a sucker for anything with a blueberry in it. I was so sure I…
Making pizza with the kids
I’m not a natural ‘cooking with kids’ kind of mum. I see images around the web of gorgeous mums and their gorgeous children doing lovely, patient things with cupcakes and it makes me sigh a little. There are three main reasons for that sigh. 1. Cooking with kids is hideously messy. 2. Cooking with kids is…
