Sunshine muffins (gluten + dairy-free)
Somewhere amidst the last 6 months I decided to start using my dehydrator more often than I have previously, to preserve some of the things I tend to just bung in the freezer. No, I haven’t turned into a doomsday prepper (yet) but I have definitely thought more about preservation techniques that don’t rely on […]
Flourless chocolate cake
A few months ago, quietly and without fuss My Darling Lemon Thyme turned 10. I wanted to scream it from the rooftops, TEN YEARS, that’s a really long time to be in this blogging game. But with the world in such turmoil it just didn’t seem all that important. But I knew at some stage, […]
Charred Broccolini Noodle Bowl with Black Pepper Dressing -gluten-free + vegan-
I was at an event last week in Hamilton, celebrating the launch of Feast Waikato 2020 when I got chatting to one of my food writing friends who mentioned she’d been making this recipe (which first featured in Nourish Magazine late last year) and it reminded me that I’d been meaning to share it here […]

For many, ‘bring a salad’ means dumping a […]

Everything from November onward starts to feel like it goes at double speed. […]
No-bake Dark Chocolate Caramel Cups -gluten-free + vegan-
It’s crazy to think how much has changed in the food world in the last twenty years. I might be showing my age here, but it was back then that I first started working as a chef. I’d wake up thinking about food, cook all day and go to sleep dreaming about food some more, […]
