MY DARLING LEMON THYME

Zucchini pickles (gluten-free + vegan)

Hi friends! It’s been a real long time since I’ve shared new recipes in this space. The past 15 months I’ve instead been focusing all my love and attention into my (now closed down) membership site Tipu. I’m really proud of the beautiful space that was created and all the recipes, garden guides and videos […]

Raspberry + Orange Shrub

  Hey! It’s been awhile. After 6 weeks of creating and sharing content on my new membership site TIPU, where my recipes come without a long accompanying blog post, I’ve gotten really used to that simple delivery style, so going forward I might stick to that same format on this site too, unless I really […]

Gluten + dairy-free Apple, Almond + Rosemary Syrup Cake

This cake straddles the seasons, somewhere between autumn (fall) and winter. While our apple trees were finished up by mid-autumn we all know that apples are one of those fruits that store well, so it’s during winter when not much else in the way of fruit is around -bar the beginning hints of citrus- that […]

Roasted Brussels Sprout Rice Noodle Salad with Soy Ginger Dressing

Za’atar-Roasted Eggplant Salad with Lentils, Halloumi + Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

One more autumnal recipe before the sun-kissed produce disappears for another year. Here I’ve stuck with Middle Eastern inspired flavours that are always guaranteed to work together, thick slabs of creamy za’atar roasted eggplant (aka aubergine for you Aussies reading), sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, earthy lentils and salty halloumi all brought together with a lemon […]

Chilli + soy eggplant with tofu (vegan + gluten-free)

While working on this recipe for my regular column in Nourish Magazine, I was stopped in the supermarket by a lovely lady when she saw me reaching for the eggplants, saying she’d never cooked them before and did I have any tips for her? Firstly I said ‘you’ve asked the right lady!’ before proceeding to […]

Black Pepper-Roasted Strawberry Sundaes with maple cacao nibs

Hello friend, I hope you’ve had a gentle start to the new year. It’s only been in the last week that it’s really started to feel like summer here in NZ, after what has felt like 5 months of rain the sunshine sure makes for a welcome change. And with sunshine comes ice cream! I […]
