Roasted purple cauliflower and sprouted lentil salad w/ yoghurt lime dressing + a little look around our garden…
I have moments of really missing Perth. Mostly it’s my friends that I miss (like crazy, everyday) but I also miss my old local farmers market. We tried so hard to grow veggies in Perth, but found it pretty hard going in the hot and sandy soils of the West. The farmers markets were my […]
Turmeric + kawakawa chai {vegan} + links
I know life has slowed down a little when I find myself returning to old routines. Pulling the saucepan from the bottom draw I gather loose tea leaves, spices and ginger before wandering out to the bush just below our deck to pick fresh kawakawa leaves, making sure to only harvest leaves eaten by the […]
Gluten-free apple, cinnamon + brown butter friands
Just another quick one today guys, but hey… three blog posts in just over a week?! It’s been a long time since that happened around here 🙂 I give the apple slices a little loving in the pan with a dab of butter to soften them first, which results in a beautiful tender cake through […]
Roasted pumpkin soup with chickpea migas

Kiwifruit originate from North-central and Eastern China, but it was in New Zealand, […]
Black bean tacos with kiwifruit salsa
You know the old saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’, well my mum (ever the rule-breaker or should I say trail-blazer!) likes to put her own spin on things and instead say’s ‘a kiwifruit a day keeps the doctor away’. Clever mum that one, as kiwifruit are one of the most nutrient […]
(almost) raw kiwifruit + ginger ‘cheesecake’
Growing up we had loads of fruit trees on our property; feijoas, tamarillos, grapefruit, lemons and more. If you ventured right down the very bottom of the hill and looked to the left, you’d also spot a bunch of kiwifruit vines, growing over the timber frames my Dad built. Come winter, we’d have kiwifruit coming […]
