MY DARLING LEMON THYME

Charred broccoli + brown rice salad with green tahini sauce -gluten-free + vegan-

It’s that time of year when we start to think about versatile recipes that travel well, recipes that are flavour-packed but easy to transport to friends or families houses for those summer bbq’s or dare I say the C word (without sending everyone into a tizz), Christmas. For many, ‘bring a salad’ means dumping a […]

Little Gluten + dairy-free Rhubarb, Lemon + Pink Peppercorn Cakes

We’ve just returned home from a long overdue family holiday, our first overseas holiday will the whole family since we took the kids to Vietnam many moons ago and it seems our return has coincided with the most manic time of year! Everything from November onward starts to feel like it goes at double speed. […]

No-bake Dark Chocolate Caramel Cups -gluten-free + vegan-

While I could eat a bowlful of these noodles any time of the year, it’s […]

And just like that we’re already halfway through the year, I don’t mean to alarm you but it’s less than 6 months until we reach 2020! How is that even possible? Every year I hope things might slow down long enough for me to catch my breath, create recipes for this site and actually have […]

Persimmon + ginger chia pudding (vegan + gluten-free)

For those of you who have been here awhile, you’ll already know the love I have for persimmons. I’ve shared a few recipes both here (links below) and in my second cookbook and they’re one of the things I most look forward to eating, every single autumn. Growing up they were a rare treat, eaten […]
