The Lazy Cook’s Buckwheat Brownies {gf}

February 21, 2016

My son is going through a phase where he is making healthy choices for snacks, much to my bewilderment! Despite my best efforts to create a cake-loving child, the only snacks he asked for today were raw, not baked. Indeed, he informed me just yesterday that his favourite foods ‘in all the world’ are celery and…

Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Cake

February 14, 2016

I was a teenager when I first tasted and fell in love with zucchini muffins. Muffins were not a big thing in Australia when I was a child, so it was only when I was older, and attending an international school with a largely American cohort, that I was introduced to my first muffin crush!…

Roasted Strawberry Almond Crumble {gf/df}

February 1, 2016

With all the fresh fruit in season throughout summer, it would be fair to say I’ve been a little overwhelmed… what to cook, what to share, what to feature on the blog? Cherries, peaches, or plums? Apricots, mango, or strawberries? Yes, how about strawberries? Strawberries are awesome, not least because you can get them year round.…

With all this baking, friends often ask me how I don’t get fat. Breast feeding has certainly helped, but the most common answer is, “I give it all away”. Hubby was searching for baked goodies to pack in his work lunch the other day, and I had to tell him that there were none. In…

Salted Dark Chocolate Cookies {gf}

January 6, 2016

Yikes! It’s 2016, and already I’m behind the eight-ball! This summer I had every intention of posting dozens of salad recipes, icy poles and ice creams, but alas, I barely had time to make Christmas gifts, let alone test new recipes. One gets caught up in the busy-ness of the season and before you…

Black Forest Brownies {with gf option}

November 4, 2015

Here it is, at last – the perfect Chocolate and Morello Cherry Brownie recipe! It has taken me months to get this recipe just right! Ever since Dad’s 70th I’ve been on a quest for the perfect black forest brownies … all because my father’s favourite cake is Black Forest Cake. Chocolate-y, creamy and boozy,…

Baking with a young kid in the house makes one guilty for sharing so much sugar, and I know heaps of people who are getting het up about the amount of sugar in our diets these days. There was that sugar film just a little while back, which I haven’t seen but no doubt would…

Melt & Mix Banana Bread

So, there we were on a fine spring day, staying at home instead of attending play group, all because the kid has decided to toilet train. Who’d have thought? Just a day before, it had been a struggle to get him to even sit on the toilet. Then I chatted with some mummy friends and…

Dad’s Double Chocolate Chip Cake {gf}

August 27, 2015

My Dad is a great chef. He, like me, enjoys baking cakes, and he’s been tweaking recipes since long before I started. A couple of months ago, he had a lovely slice of chocolate cake at the nursing home where Mum lives. He then emailed to ask if I had a recipe I could recommend.…

Raspberry Almond Muffins with Cacao Nibs & Citrus {gf/df}

August 14, 2015

I read an article the other day that said that successful people don’t do chores all weekend. I like that! Rather, they socialise and get exercise; in other words, unwind. Recharging is good for the mind, body and soul, and is the real rest that God meant when He instituted the Sabbath as a creation…

Boiled Pineapple Fruit Cake

July 6, 2015

There was a very loud knock on our front door, and a lanky, grey-haired man, red-faced and bare foot shoved a bunch of spinach at me, and said, “You eat spinach?” “Why, uh yes! Thank you” I stammered, as he turned and hurried back to the safety of his house. This was my first meeting…

Pear & Rhubarb Almond Crumble {gf}

The sky is low, the clouds are mean, A travelling flake of snow Across a barn or through a rut Debates if it will go. A narrow wind complains all day How someone treated him; Nature, like us, is sometimes caught Without her diadem. The Sky is Low, The Clouds are Mean by Emily Dickinson…
