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 […]

mustardy mushrooms on toast
Every now and then I have a huge craving for mushrooms on toast. It’s doesn’t come every week, not even every month- but when it hits I go out and grab whichever mushrooms I can get my hands on and cook ’em all up, simple-styles. I know creamy mushrooms are what many crave, but me, […]

Roasted eggplant + noodles with Chinese black vinegar dressing (gluten-free + vegan)
I’ll admit, I’m a total latecomer to the eggplant party. I wasn’t until I started this blog in actual fact, that I really started to fall in love. For years I turned my nose up at them. It wasn’t until I started cooking them in curries (like here and here) and roasting them (like here) that […]
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 […]
