MY DARLING LEMON THYME

Seedy choc top slice (gluten-free + vegan)

Just stopping in quickly today to share this delicious and super simple recipe and also to re-share the details for my upcoming Australian book tour which I shared in my newsletter last week, as well as a couple of events here in NZ too.  An Australian book tour has been a long time coming. My […]

Roasted cauliflower soup w/ walnut brown butter

This soup may look super simple (and it is very easy to make!), but the flavour is deep and rich thanks to the extra step of roasting the cauliflower. The walnut brown butter brings a little acidity and nuttiness.

Rosehip + hibiscus syrup

Smokey pumpkin + black bean rice (gluten-free + vegan)

Serve with your favourite protein. Love cheese? Stir through a little grated cheese towards the end, or serve with dollops of sour cream on top. […]

Not only do they taste delicious, but these tiny morsels pack a punch in the nutrient department too, delivering good amounts of […]

Zucchini fritters (gluten-free)

I was tempted to call these zucchini/courgette rosti as the mixture more closely resembles rosti compared to your usual flour-based fritter, but once cooked they’re definitely worthy of the fritter name. Like most who grow zucchini/courgette, I’m sure you’ll appreciate recipes that really pack that zucchini/courgette in. This recipe can easily be doubled or more, […]
