This has got to be one of my all time favourite go to desserts or treats. It’s so versatile and lends itself so well to all kinds of fruits – the possibilities are ENDLESS and just a simple tweak here and there you can change the flavour of this humble deliciousness completely. If we are…

Pear & Ginger Sticky Toffee Tea Cake (Vegan)
Quite a hefty title for such a simple cake 🙂 After trying this recipe out several times I believe it now to be PERFECT! You don’t have to add the pear or the ginger if that’s not your thing – and it will simply be a sticky toffee cake instead! Which is just as yummy!…
Caramelised Onion Stuffed Aubergine
Despite loving what I do Monday always hits with an intense pressure that can be uncomfortable. I always feel the need to cram in as much as I can and often feel deflated and a little lacklustre come 4pm. Cooking something complicated and time consuming is NOT an option. We stick to our Meatless Monday…
Pea Pancakes
This is an adaptation of a recipe from a healthy food cafe in Australia that I had to prepare and shoot for a cookery book I helped produce last year (see pic below) but I can’t tell you how many times I have made it since then! I have changed the recipe quantities to improve…
Banana & Peanut Butter Breakfast Smoothie
We all know that starting the day with energy sets the tempo for your mood and brain power, but sometimes chewing through a hearty bowl of muesli or tackling a plate of scrambled eggs just feels like too much work. Especially those early morning school starts with my boys. I bought some very cute smoothie/shake…

I have given them a little bit of a makeover and taken the refined sugars out, and replaced the flour with…
Piquant Chimichurri
I remember the first time I heard the name of this delicious tangy Argentinian relish I thought I was being teased as it sounded totally made up. Pronounced “chee-mee-CHOO-ree” the name’s origin is unclear although I prefer the suggestion that it is derived from Basque’s tximitxurri which is taken to mean ‘a mix of several things in no…
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…
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…
