Gluten-free honey almond cake with pistachios, strawberries + hibiscus rose syrup
I love all things rose. As a kid I loved smelling all the different old fashion roses in my Nana’s garden, as a teenager I wished for yellow roses every Valentines Day, as an adult I try to sneak rose water into as many things as I can and it seems I’m always trying to […]
gluten-free cardamom, black pepper + dark chocolate cookies
This time of the year doesn’t feel the same to me without the smell of a Christmas tree wafting through the house. Growing up surrounded by pine forests we always had a ‘real’ Christmas tree. Sometimes it was just a branch, lopped off by my Dad and dragged up the steep hill to the house. […]

flourless chocolate cake with matcha buttercream
The past 5 years in Perth, I lived a pretty solitary life. With Si working away a lot of the time and both kids at school I threw myself into my work- writing, styling and shooting, solo. Like many other bloggers there’s no behind the scenes team cheering me on, or washing my dishes […]
