Thai red curry with asparagus + broccoli (gluten-free)
I recently came across an old interview I did a few years ago, from back when we still lived in Western Australia. In it I talked about our dreams of owning a small piece of land to call our own, our dreams of living off the land as much as possible, of harvesting from our […]
Coconut French toast with roasted rhubarb + hazelnut and orange dukkah (gluten + dairy-free) + a giveaway!
Back when I worked the breakfast shift as a chef, one of the most popular dishes was French toast. For those of you like me who prefer sweet over savoury in the morning, it feels like a bit of a treat to eat something that so closely resembles a dessert! But while it’s a sweet […]
flourless dark chocolate, orange + ginger muffins

Chickpea + paneer curry
Firstly, thanks so much for your enthusiasm on my last post! I was really worried I’d never feel the urge to return to this space, but I’m so glad I have. It feels great to be home… Speaking of home, I’ve seen a lot of it over the past week as my youngest was taken […]
