MY DARLING LEMON THYME

gluten-free peach + raspberry crostata recipe

I’m a perfectionist in many ways. I like the toilet roll facing out, never in. If I see a mat at a front door that’s slightly off-centre, I find myself straightening it out with my toes without thinking. On a good day my cookbooks are stacked up just so (otherwise they are strewn all over […]

homemade sriracha sauce recipe (raw + fermented)

There’s no denying I like things hot when it comes to food. I’ve long been a fan of chillies, but sadly back in my younger years it was only ever in the form of sweet chilli sauce or as Si’s always liked to call it ‘that chilli crap’. (Charming, I know. Obviously he’s never been a fan!). […]

a few of my favourite things {January 2014}

I had great plans to get a post up yesterday, but alas it just didn’t happen. Instead I thought it might be nice to stall things a tad with a favourites post before the month ends, and then work towards getting my recipe up on Monday or Tuesday. How does that sound? It’s just that […]

dairy-free dark chocolate cinnamon ice cream recipe

Haha, thought not… When it’s hot outside like it has been (stay safe Victoria and Adelaide, my fellow heat-wave-ers) I like […]

lemongrass tofu with chilli kang kong

Everything about life in Vietnam sits right with me. Family is number one, life is simple and there’s food everywhere, always. (My body got so used to eating over there that I really struggled with my 3 day New Year detox that I’ve just completed! I was starving the entire 3 days.) Of course there’s the usual breakfast, […]

Inspire me: Laura Wright from The First Mess

I’m not really sure Laura needs any introduction here at all today. Why? Cause she’s ridiculously talented, her work is everywhere and if you haven’t yet come across her, well umm, really? Not only are her recipes uber fresh and exciting, but her writing is honest and funny (and it makes me want to hang out with her, always a […]

homemade lemonade popsicle recipe

I experienced the strangest thing yesterday. I was at my local health-food store stocking up on a few essentials we were running low on, when I got chatting to the shop assistant, like I always do. She remembered I’d been in there buying ginger lollies the day before we left for Vietnam, hoping they may help ease Ada’s […]
