Fluffy Protein Breakfast Pancakes

I am calling these pancakes but I guess REALLY they are hotcakes, and oat hotcakes at that. This recipe is so incredibly versatile and these little oaty fluffy bites work well with both savoury and sweet toppings depending on your preference. They happen to be gluten free (if you use GF oats) and really only…

Brilliant Banana Bread

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…

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…

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…

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,…
