Grilled zucchini + spinach salad with roasted capsicum (red pepper) dressing
The air in the morning and evenings has been decidedly cool this past week. I always find it funny how it just seems to creep up on you here in NZ. One day you’re sweltering in the sticky heat of summer, finding it hard to imagine it will ever cool down, then bam, it’s autumn. […]
Gluten-free pineapple, lime + coconut delicious puddings
The weeks seem to be flying by at a faster rate than ever this year. I have so many things I want to share on this space, but every week I seem to get to Friday and again, I’ve run out of time. Anyone else feeling like that? I recently spent time with 6 of […]
roasted carrot hummus
We seem to go on food-benders in our family.

Roasted carrot, quinoa + corn salad with jalapeno lime dressing (vegan + gluten-free)
When you get a call at 3.30pm inviting you to a potluck BBQ that evening, and you’re a gluten-free vegetarian, this salad might just save you. It saved me. Knowing I needed to create something substantial enough to pass as dinner (in case it was the only thing my kids and I could eat) I […]
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 […]
