fruit platter w tahini caramel & chocolate

This recipe originally appeared in Nourish Magazine issue 0810. I’ve broken my promise and bought you another sweet dish. Sorry about that. I’ve had a few dessert dishes tucked away that were originally printed in Nourish Magazine but now the editions have passed I can share the recipes here on the blog. I’ve really wanted to ...

pumpkin pie granola

pumpkin pie granola

I’ve been going a little baking mad these last few weeks. I know I am well overdue to provide you guys with a lunch or dinner recipe that is not centred around flours and nut meals, but I seem to be possessed by the baking bug of late, hence this Pumpkin Pie Granola. I blame ...

turmeric spiced caramelised banana & pecan bread

turmeric spiced caramelised banana & pecan bread

I made this Turmeric Spiced Caramelised Banana & Pecan Bread recipe from start to finish without tasting it at all, which I do not recommend. Tasting your baking mixture as you go is an important way to understand how the flavours are working together, keeping in mind they will mellow out with cooking. The reason ...

chocolate chilli mousse smoothie + getting real about weight loss

Weight loss is a lucrative business. With so many programs, diets, shakes and guru’s it’s hard to know where to start and who to trust. When it comes to losing weight, we need to look at ourselves as an individual and ascertain what is right for us. Sure, there is the concept of calories in ...

silverbeet, potato & truss tomato frittata

silverbeet, potato & truss tomato frittata

Generally when I put a recipe together each week the written content accompanying it tends to flow with the topic of the dish on show. There is usually some sort of story that precedes the recipe, interwoven with the dish somehow. Today as I sit on the train on my way to work writing this ...
