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 […]
thyme + black cherry jam drop cookies {gluten-free}
My friend called me vintage the other day. Me vintage? I’m only a few years over 30, does that really make me vintage?

roast kumara, chickpea and feta salad with spiced lemon dressing
There was a knock at the door early yesterday morning. I was in the middle of getting dressed so took a little while to get to the front door, all the while hoping it wasn’t one of those annoying door-to-door sales people that have a knack for ridiculous timing.
