Like most of you, I often like something a little sweet after dinner when the mood takes me. Reaching for a good quality dark chocolate can certainly hit the spot, yet lately I’ve found it a bit too rich and not exactly what my taste buds are looking for. As a result, this dark ...
our best savoury toast topping recipes I’m really excited about this post. I have a ‘to do list’ like most of you probably reading this, and on my list for at least six months now has been this particular post about savoury toast toppings. They do say that that ‘it’s better late than never’ though don’t ...
I can’t take all the credit for this recipe. After moving house on the weekend and finally getting all of my cookbooks out of storage, I went on a baking frenzy. I was like a wild woman let loose in the outback. Think the movie ‘Nell’ when Nell is taken back in her homeland forest. It’s truly ...

It is also the meal of choice for many parents for hiding ...
Where do I start with this Chicken, Roast Potato, Lemon Salad with Capers & Crispy Sage? This recipe has been given pride of place once a week in our household as a tried and true staple. It’s been given the ‘favourite meal’ status by my husband, taking the previous winning spot of my kofta ...
I think its important to have a mix of recipes here on the website. Sometimes we want to spend lingering hours in the kitchen, pottering about, mixing and measuring. Other times we want something fast, delicious and easy. This peanut butter and hazelnut smoothie certainly fits the later. I’ve posted this smoothie more than once ...
