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 […]
roasted carrot soup with fennel + lemon
I am blessed with one adventurous eating kid in our family (the other one is getting there, slowly). She hardly ever turns her nose up at anything and gives most things a try, more often that not coming back for more, and more. But somethings changed this year when it comes to school lunches. All […]
raw chocolate fudge with cacao nibs + sea salt
Over the years, I’ve had many conversations with people about the very limited amount of dairy that we consume.

flourless banana, cinnamon + dark chocolate muffin recipe {gluten + dairy-free} + 4 years of blogging!
I started this blog 4 years ago, yesterday. I didn’t really know what I was doing (understatement!), I didn’t really know what I wanted to share, or how. I didn’t know if anyone would ever read, let alone cook my recipes. All I knew is I wanted to do this, however I could. I started […]
homemade lemon + lime cordial recipe
Growing up, our water came straight from the sky and onto our tin roof, before draining into the dark green tank that sat perched amongst the jasmine flowers at the back of our house. There were no chemicals added, at all. We bathed in this beautiful rainwater, drank it and mum prepared our meals using […]
fava bean quinoa cakes with kale, ginger + garam masala {gluten-free + vegan} + a giveaway!
There have been so many amazing new cookbooks hitting the shelves in these past few months and it’s cool to see that many of them are written by bloggers! If you’ve been reading here for awhile you will remember my post on Anya Kassoff of Golubka fame mid last year? Well, her book The Vibrant Table, […]
spiced pumpkin + millet porridge {gluten-free + vegan} + pics from America!
My recent trip to America opened my eyes more than I ever could have imagined. Here in Australia and back home in NZ we are surrounded by all things American from a very young age, much to my Dads disgust (he wouldn’t let us watch trashy US shows on telly when we were little!). I’ve […]
