creamy split pea, carrot + sumac soup recipe {vegan}
Yesterday was one of those days where a roaring fireplace wouldn’t have gone astray. The drizzle hung around most of the day, making me feel like I was back home in NZ. From the moment I woke I had soup on my mind. Growing up I’m pretty sure there was a constant supply of soup […]
little raw carrot cakes with orange maple cream {gluten + dairy-free} to celebrate 3 years!
I find it fascinating to think of how we all have our own special callings in life. What may seem impossible to even comprehend to some, comes naturally to others. Take my friend Aidee for example.

raspberry, pear + almond crumble {gluten-free}
Growing up, we lived in a house on the hill overlooking the little sleepy town of Raglan, NZ. In winter there were days when the fog barely lifted it’s thick blanket and our house remained shaded by the huge pine trees growing at the top of the hill. On those days the ice was set […]
persimmon, fennel + rocket salad recipe
So, the book is done. After many months of cooking all day and editing/writing until the wee hours, I can finally say it’s all done. It’s funny, before I started I was under no illusion as to how much work it would involve, for most cookbooks there is a whole team of people pulling it […]
