homemade butter recipe

There are some food trends I may never fully understand. Take Cronuts for example or molecular gastronomy. Layers of deep-fried croissant pastry or liquid nitrogen in my food, nope not for me, thanks. But there is a trend that’s gaining more and more momentum as the years go by that’s totally in line with me and my beliefs and […]
spiced millet pilaf with beetroot, feta + mint recipe

I love rice. Some would say there have even been times in my life when I’ve lived off the stuff. Rice porridge for breakfast, rice chia bread for lunch, followed by curry and rice for dinner… It’s played a huge part in our diet since changing over to gluten-free 5 years ago, it was my savior when […]

kumara + cavolo nero frittata recipe

For the last three days of the holidays Kye became fascinated with people’s ages. It started with an inquisitive little, how old are you mum? But soon turned into a full-on thing as he proceeded to ask me the age of every person we know. And I mean every. one. In a single day he must have asked me how […]
