dairy-free mango + coconut ice cream recipe
We are just coming to the end of mango season here in Perth with only two or three fruit left on our trees. At the start of the season we gorged ourselves on the unripe ‘green’ ones that fell in the wind, sliced thinly and dipped into chilli salt or Ada’s favourite; sugar and fish sauce (she’s […]
buckwheat, apple and ginger muffin recipe {gluten-free, dairy-free}
We went down south to Yallingup for a wedding last weekend and it felt like going home. Firstly the temperature dropped so dramatically over those few days, that we instantly felt like we were in NZ, leaving us shivering in our totally unprepared attire. It rained.

I remember it well, even though it’s been well over 10 years since I stepped foot on Indian soil. I remember with great […]
gluten-free peach & mulberry cake recipe
It’s been one of those weeks. You know the kind where every moment feels like you’re trying to catch up? On chores, on work, on sleep. Sleep. Mostly sleep.
