I’d like to introduce you to my newest member of my baking family, the Gut Friendly Bread Loaf. A few weeks back I asked you all on Facebook what recipes you would like to see. The most common answer was a really nourishing, yet intolerance friendly bread. I’ve been pondering over ideas and recipes and ...
I’m finding it really hard to write this post at the moment as my Dad has just arrived in prelude to my sisters wedding in a few weeks time. I am super distracted by wanting to catch up on the past months, exciting about the pending wedding, excited about finishing up this post and going ...
This up-side down pear, ginger, prune and port cake is certainly a cake for celebrations, or to bring out at a dinner party for a bit of wow factor. It’s certainly not a ‘bake and eat as afternoon tea through the week’ cake as many of my other baked options are here on the JCN ...
This isn’t my recipe at all. I had nothing to do with it in anyway, so consider it plagiarism. It’s my husbands. Recently we have both had our fair share of a hefty flu going around Brisbane. I managed to go down for a week after he was struck with it, then just as I was ...
I’ve been pulled away from here the last month with other work commitments. Whilst it’s been an exhilarating past 6 weeks with the Fiamme Italian lunch event and some other exciting projects, I have missed being able to have my weekly check in here. Sharing my recipes with you is so rewarding in its own right, ...

David and Luise, the driving collaborative force behind Green Kitchen Stories truly are an inspiration. Their divine website loaded with stunning imagery thanks to David, is hard to pull your eyes away from. Green ...
This nut and fruit bread is 100% inspired by my Mum’s baking. I grew up with my Mum’s home cooked bread being the cornerstone of home cooking, so baking bread is a tradition that just feels like it runs in my blood. In particular my Mum would cook a fruit and nut loaf like no ...
There is something so wonderfully tactile about chicken drumsticks. Perhaps that goes for any sticky sweet meat cooked on the bone, inviting you to pick it up and devour it ‘cave man/woman like’. Once you commit with a bite its hard to put the meat down, as I find you are lost in a trance ...
About three years ago I tried out for Masterchef and found myself selected to audition here in Brisbane. I only told the smallest handful of people. I knew the chances of getting through were minute, so I wanted to keep it on the down low. I was asked to make a dish to bring along, and ...
I’m wondering if these zucchini wedges will cause as much as a stir as my turmeric and sesame sweet potato wedges. It’s funny how such simple recipes are always the ones that we love the most. I think it’s their shear simplicity that makes them so appealing to make, as opposed to breaking out ten ...
