MY DARLING LEMON THYME

Cucumber, mint + lime ice blocks

The one thing my kids have always craved in the middle of winter and/or when sick with a cold, is cucumbers. They love them so much and will happily munch on a whole one like one would eat an apple. Sadly for them I don’t often buy cucumbers over winter, unless we’re really desperate (or […]

Raw raspberry + dark chocolate ice cream bites

Hi! I hope your year has got off to a good start? We’re still in full summer-chill-mode around here. Most days I’m still in my pj’s nearing lunchtime, unless it’s full tide… then we’re at the beach. I’ve also been hanging out in our veggie garden as much as I can, but more on that […]

Roasted quince + cardamom popsicles

A couple of years ago while visiting a truffle farm in Christchurch, we came across a laden quince tree where Angela asked Alesha and I how we liked to prepare quinces. Having only prepared quinces a handful of times myself (they’re not exactly a common fruit around these parts of the world), many years ago when I worked as […]

Boysenberry, lemon + yoghurt breakfast pops

Roasted strawberry + ginger ‘ice cream’ (gluten-free + vegan)

As many of you already know from reading my first cookbook, I grew up eating frozen banana ‘ice cream’, waaaay before it became the current ‘nice-cream’ craze. Mum would freeze ripe bananas and blend them up with a little soy milk, with the addition of carob powder and a touch of honey if we were […]

No-churn matcha frozen yoghurt with pineapple salsa

I have to admit, it took me awhile to get on board the matcha craze. (I know, I know, I’m only 2+ years too late!). At the beginning of the craze every part of my body shuddered when (yet) another matcha recipe popped up in my feed. It wasn’t anything to do with matcha, after […]

Apricot, pistachio + passionfruit ice cream bars {vegan + gluten-free}

Summer arrived right on cue this year. Just when we were all getting well and truly over the wet and cold of the last 6 months (oh who am I kidding, the last 9 months!)- boom, warm weather arrived. December 1st the sun was out, the birds were chirping and the cicadas singing. As all […]
