MY DARLING LEMON THYME

homemade sriracha sauce recipe (raw + fermented)

There’s no denying I like things hot when it comes to food. I’ve long been a fan of chillies, but sadly back in my younger years it was only ever in the form of sweet chilli sauce or as Si’s always liked to call it ‘that chilli crap’. (Charming, I know. Obviously he’s never been a fan!). […]

dairy-free dark chocolate cinnamon ice cream recipe

Chocolate ice cream. There’s not really much that hasn’t already been said about the stuff and really, I’m pretty sure I don’t need to say anything more to convince you of it’s goodness eh? Haha, thought not… When it’s hot outside like it has been (stay safe Victoria and Adelaide, my fellow heat-wave-ers) I like […]

lemongrass tofu with chilli kang kong

Everything about life in Vietnam sits right with me. Family is number one, life is simple and there’s food everywhere, always.

blueberry, lemon + quinoa slice recipe {gluten + dairy-free}

Our blueberry bush has gone berserk this year. What started out as a little plant only a few years ago has now grown into this mammoth lanky thing that’s absolutely loaded to the brim with fruit. It still grows in a large pot out back, but this doesn’t seem to bother it and the kids take turns […]

Everywhere I look everyone’s getting into the Christmas spirit, the trees are up, tinsel is scattered throughout every building, there’s spiced cookies here, eggnog and Christmas cake there, Santa sitting waiting for photos to be taken in the malls and super excited kids everywhere I turn. I’ve never been crazy big into the whole palaver that goes with Christmas. I love spending […]

flourless rhubarb + lemon cake recipe

I started working when I was 14 years old. I spent my weekends rolling ice cream and selling pies, lollies and newspapers in my local dairy (aka deli/corner store for those of you who don’t understand kiwi :-)) I saved every penny I earned and in my second-to-last year of high school I’d saved enough cash […]
