One of my favourite ways to get more vegetables into my boys diet is with a veggie pate. Carrots are especially delicious in this type of dip as they have a naturally sweet taste and roasting them first condenses their flavour even more. I love the idea of adding the hemp oil that Lemcke gifted…

Almond & Orange Friands
When Lemcke gifted me a few of their oils recently it really got my creative juices flowing. As you all know by now I favour simplicity over complication and FLAVOUR is always of ultimate importance. The Almond Oil from Lemcke is refined and is therefore better used for baking and cooking as it is more…
Courgette, Almond & Cumin Bread.
Whilst this bread happens to be both gluten & grain free it was not my intention to make it that way. I was merely looking for an alternative to toast in the morning or as a snack that would appease my boys hunger and to have something on standby to give them when the dreaded…
Heavenly Chocolate & Coconut Matcha Bites!
So you may have seen this curious looking bright green powder popping up everywhere on instagram and the internet? To give you a very brief synopsis “cha” in Japanese means tea, and “ma” means powder, thus the word “Matcha” translates literally as powdered green tea. This powdered green tea has become very popular all over the…
Tandoori Spiced Chicken with a Crunchy Raw Slaw
As always I aim for simplicity in my kitchen, and the best things often are! This dish is simple enough for a mid-week lunch or supper, and even perfect for a picnic or as part of a barbecue feast. This marinade is exceptional in the way it flavours the chicken and also tenderises the meat,…
Red Thai Fragrant Duck Curry
This has to be one of the most flavour-packed and sumptuous dishes that I make at home. Its utterly luxuriant in texture and flavour but remarkably simple to make and a great way to get your kids into eating slightly more spicy food (if that’s what you like). You can make your red Thai curry…
Portabello Mushroom Poached Egg
One of the reasons I LOVE shopping at my local food market is that I always find ingredients to inspire me to be a bit more creative in the kitchen. A point in case were these beautiful big Portobello Mushrooms I found on Saturday at City Farm Market. It always seems such a shame to…
Buckwheat Pancakes with Strawberries, Ricotta & Nut Butter
I really LOVE Buckwheat pancakes! They are much lighter (if made like crepes) and nuttier in flavour than regular pancakes and lend themselves well to both savoury and sweet options. Buckwheat is not wheat or any relation to it at all so these pancakes also happen to be both GRAIN & GLUTEN free. You can…
Moreish Moroccan Meatballs!
These Meatballs are made from minced lamb and incredibly delicious and easy to make. They are simple & economical enough to prepare for a midweek supper and special enough for a casual dinner party or feast. You can serve them up with brown rice (I love Basmati Brown), Couscous, Quinoa, Caulirice or wholemeal flatbreads. I…
