Raspberry + Orange Shrub
Hey! It’s been awhile. After 6 weeks of creating and sharing content on my new membership site TIPU, where my recipes come without a long accompanying blog post, I’ve gotten really used to that simple delivery style, so going forward I might stick to that same format on this site too, unless I really […]
Pineapple + basil cordial
We run out of ice on a daily basis at the moment. Everyone fights over the last remaining pieces in the freezer, hoping there’ll be just enough to at least cool their drink, if not chill. I’m not one to usually crave iced drinks and much prefer to drink room temperature for most of the […]
Plum, cardamom + black pepper shrub
Shrubs are the perfect way to preserve the last of summer’s plums in this apple-cider vinegar boosted drink laced with cardamom + black pepper.

As I’ve gotten older my tastes changed and while I do actually like stewed rhubarb nowadays, other cooking […]
homemade milk kefir
I grew up in a vegetarian household, so it’s pretty safe to say the things we ate were not exactly ‘the norm’. We ate cheesecake made from tofu, homemade hummus and brown rice. The shelves in our laundry were always full with mums preserves and apparently, although I don’t remember it well myself, there was […]
