Green Garlic Spinach Flatbread

July 8, 2019

There is nothing more delicious than a super green, full of flavour flatbread, hot off the pan. These Green Garlic Spinach Flatbreads are a favourite vegan recipe in our kitchen and are on repeat in my weekly cooking schedule. I like nothing better than to slather the first flatbread with a generous amount of butter and devouring it hot, butter... Read More >>

10 Minute Bean And Mushroom Fried Rice

July 2, 2019

I often get asked about my fridge and pantry staples. But no one really asks me about what is always in my freezer. Frozen veggies! As a working mum and someone who is also obsessed with meal prepping, frozen veggies are the saving grace of all my after-school snacks and quick work lunches. They are especially great because they are picked and frozen whe... Read More >>

Sparkling Iced Lemon Tea

June 27, 2019

Who doesn’t love a good iced lemon tea? It is cold, sweet, tart and tangy with a good jolt of caffeine from the black tea.

Nick and I were on our honeymoon in Bhutan. It ... Read More >>

He called the dish P... Read More >>

Olive Oil Banana Bread

June 12, 2019

If you are looking for a wholesome, lighter, dairy free banana bread recipe with a high toastability factor then you must bake this Olive Oil Banana Bread. Preferably tonight so you can cut yourself a thick slice tomorrow morning, toast it to golden perfection and enjoy with lashings of butter. I suppose that would be counter productive to the dairy-free nat... Read More >>

Passionfruit Margarita

May 31, 2019

It's friday again which means it is Cocktail & Canapé night while watching re-runs of our favourite movies. Winter has unexpectedly arrived early, much to my delight. There is a cold snap gathering strength across Australia and although this might warrant a hot toddy or a mulled wine, I have decided to boldly make a couple of fruity but warming marga...
