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 […]
Manuka honey and saffron yoghurt pops + a giveaway!

Here in New Zealand we’re known around the world for a few things… green grass, NZ lamb, flavoursome dairy, jandals and hokey pokey ice cream, but there’s another truly uniquely kiwi thing that’s not only incredibly good for us, but delicious and also world-renowned too. Manuka honey. I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely, down-to-earth folk […]
Chipotle, bean + lime stuffed sweet potatoes with herb salsa (gluten-free + vegan) + win a copy of my new cookbook and more!

Those of you who have been stopping by here awhile, or have either of my cookbooks will know that I encourage cooking real food from scratch as much as humanly possible. It’s kinda my thing.

While the addiction is somewhat under control at the moment (ahem, cough, cough), I have totally lost count of how many I own. […]

Beetroot curry + seeni sambol and photos from my Sri Lanka trip: Part two

I’ve been in my thoughts a lot this year. Big life changes will do that I suppose. I miss my friends in Australia every damn day and I’d be lying if I said my heart didn’t hurt just a little when I think of them, and all my other friends who live far far away… […]
Sri Lankan inspired asparagus curry + pics from my trip: Part one

It now feels like a dream. In the midst of the daily grind of motherhood, some days it actually feels like it happened in another lifetime altogether. I’ve long wanted to travel to Sri lanka, I just never would’ve guessed that I’d get there in the way that I did. In June this year and after […]
