spice roasted cauliflower with black quinoa, feta and almond recipe
In light of current events in London… it now seems quite fitting that today’s recipe was inspired by a true English geezer, the one and only Jamie Oliver. As we don’t own a t.v, the little bits and pieces I’ve glimpsed at via the net today are pretty damn crazy and incredibly sad. I mean, […]
gluten-free princess cake with raspberry butter-cream icing recipe
I was so close to calling this a “Barbie” cake, but it isn’t really one is it? Ada was actually given the perfect Barbie doll for her birthday to use in a cake like this, but it seems the new dolls don’t have removable legs like the old ones, where you could pop them out […]
a few of my favourite things… {July 2011}
This month I’m loving that Kye still calls his thumb his “choice bro”. Thankfully this one is still kiwi as, despite his Australian surroundings 🙂 A few others things I’m loving at the moment… I’m still so addicted to these Aussie siblings. Angus & Julia Stone. Sylvie Wibaut. A dear friend we met years ago […]

Back […]
split pea soup with coriander (cilantro) & cashew nut pesto recipe
Okay, so now I feel silly. Here I was saying that it’s not very often I cook soup, then I went right ahead and made… split pea soup. Go figure. Maybe it was all that talking about it that had me two days later craving it? I went with it, knowing full well that only […]
bitter orange, rosewater & almond marmalade recipe
When Si came home from work the other day holding a huge box of freshly picked, organic, fluro-coloured oranges, mandarins and tangelos, I knew instantly that I’d have to hide a few to make marmalade. You may remember from last year that I have a wee addiction to making preserves, even though we don’t tend […]
happy birthdays all round.
5 years ago today I became a mum. I’m finding it a little hard to believe really. The first 6 months felt like an eternity and then within the blink of an eye, boom… Ada’s 5. Today we are not only celebrating Ada’s birthday but also the 1st birthday of my darling lemon thyme! Once […]
