Dark chocolate, pear + rosemary cake {gluten + dairy-free} + exciting news!
We were sitting at the dinner table the other night when Kye started talking and asking questions about same sex couples. He was very cute and I could see his little brain ticking over it all. ‘Some families have two Mums, don’t they?’. ‘ Yep.’ ‘Some families have two Dad’s don’t they?’ ‘Yep.’ It was […]
gluten-free peach + raspberry crostata recipe
I’m a perfectionist in many ways. I like the toilet roll facing out, never in. If I see a mat at a front door that’s slightly off-centre, I find myself straightening it out with my toes without thinking. On a good day my cookbooks are stacked up just so (otherwise they are strewn all over […]

Growing up, we lived in a house on the hill overlooking the little sleepy town of Raglan, NZ. In winter there were days when the fog barely lifted it’s thick blanket and our house remained shaded by the huge pine trees growing at the top of the hill. On those days the ice was set […]
lemon posset à la Poires au Chocolat
We have arrived safely back in Perth after what was a whirl-wind trip in NZ. I feel like I could have easily spent another month or two in Raglan to do all that I wanted to do, but alas, the real world was calling. While I unpack and get back to my recipe testing, the […]
