I think everyone has made banana bread at one time or another. It’s one of those recipes that graces most cookbooks and everyone seems to have a family recipe hidden somewhere. We make it at LEAST once a week in our house either as muffins or as a loaf and we love to spice things…

Vanilla Panna Cotta with a Pomegranate Jelly
Oftentimes I feel rather sheepish when guests and friends try something I have made and gush over it, praising my culinary skills and gourmet prowess. I feel sheepish because really, everything I make is so ultra simple. I love good quality ingredients that just need a little tweak here and there – without too much…
Veg-full Cottage Pie
Winter is here for sure and comfort food in on the menu in our home. Plus, with two growing lads I need to make sure tummies are filled and everyone is satisfied. Cottage pie is one of those basic nursery favourites that somehow gets lost en route into adulthood and more complex tastes and flavours…
Toasted Savoury Snacking Seeds
I make a point of always having 3 to 4 “ready-to-go” snacks available for my two permanently hungry growing boys so that I can basically get some peace without the painful and pesty “Mum I am still hungry” broken record that seems to play endlessly on daily basis. I work from home too so this…
Pear, Blueberry & Cinnamon Bircher Muesli
Having made this beautiful breakfast recently to feed a crowd of friends staying with us in the country I was reminded of just how sublime the combination of Pear, Blueberry, Cinnamon and the crunchy roasted almonds truly is. I don’t feel like eating porridge much in summer and its not very easy to eat Jumbo…
Spinach, Herb & Feta Triangles
I guess I could have called these Spanakopita as they really are a variation on those wonderful spinach filled Greek pies. However the change in flavours that the fresh coriander and mint contribute really puts them in a league of their own. I love adding fresh herbs to my dishes wherever I can and the…
Almond, Coconut & Cinnamon Toast
When I was sent a parcel of goodies from Crede containing their new Almond meal the first thing I started thinking about making was some cake/pastry sweet yumminess. But then I thought that instead it would be more useful to make something that would be more of a regular staple on the table than just…
Italian Orange & Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake
I think cheesecake is my favourite kind of cake 🙂 I always go for a baked version (I loathe the fridge/gelatin kind with a passion) and I think my all time favourite is a New York Baked cheesecake with a sour cream topping. However this one comes a close second, and although its also baked,…
Annie’s Crispy & Tangy Cabbage Salad
I LOVE simplicity above all things especially when it comes to food, and feel most happy when I discover epic flavour combos that take minutes to make. I love this because I know that it means that I (and you!) will make it often. When a recipe has serious gut healing and nutritional properties to…
