MY DARLING LEMON THYME

No-churn matcha frozen yoghurt with pineapple salsa

I have to admit, it took me awhile to get on board the matcha craze. (I know, I know, I’m only 2+ years too late!). At the beginning of the craze every part of my body shuddered when (yet) another matcha recipe popped up in my feed. It wasn’t anything to do with matcha, after […]

Apricot, pistachio + passionfruit ice cream bars {vegan + gluten-free}

Summer arrived right on cue this year. Just when we were all getting well and truly over the wet and cold of the last 6 months (oh who am I kidding, the last 9 months!)- boom, warm weather arrived. December 1st the sun was out, the birds were chirping and the cicadas singing. As all […]

If you ventured right down the very bottom of the hill and looked to the left, you’d also spot a bunch of kiwifruit vines, growing over the timber frames my Dad built. Come winter, we’d have kiwifruit coming […]

Orange strawberries + vanilla cream

If you’re looking for a super, super simple un-cooked dessert recipe, you can’t go past the beautiful combination of juicy ripe strawberries macerated in orange and served with freshly whipped vanilla cream. As a kid I loved nothing more than a bowlful of berries and freshly whipped cream. The sight of my mother’s electric hand […]
