This is one of those recipe posts that hardly warrants a recipe, but at the same time requires some time in the spotlight to bring its simplistic creation to our attention. Many of you may in fact already be doing your own versions of this hot chocolate with cinnamon & vanilla, however I find ...
I’m not going to spend paragraphs talking about the weather, but seriously, how cold is it! You would think someone who grew up in country Victoria and spent four years in Canberra would be okay with the cold, but nope. I’m a big sook. My husband is from Invercargill, so he saunters about on ...
So…we finished our house! Wooo hoooo!!! After three years of hard work, a few tears, perhaps a few (thousand) swear words and some very supportive and understanding friends, family and neighbours, we are happy to say we have now officially laid down our tools. The house is on the market and we are two ...
I have a real passion for chai tea, which runs through the Cox family blood. My sister and my mum are both fans of this sweetly spiced brew, and together we will seek out a well-made chai wherever we are. We always frown upon a syrup or powdered chai as we are ‘real chai’ ...

The traditional schnitzel is made with a wheat flour base and usually dipped ...
This thyme scrambled tofu with truffle oil recipe is not only a great alternative for those who cannot eat eggs due to intolerances and allergies, but a lovely variation to the regular egg scramble. The texture of the tofu in this dish works wonderfully to create a similar mouth feel to scrambled eggs, with ...
This is one of those recipes I have been meaning to post for ages but never quite got there until now. I think I was deterred by the ugliness factor of photographing flaccid crepes. Hopefully I have conquered my fear and (hopefully) shown just how beautiful these easy besan crepes really are (currently imagining ...
Amy Chaplin’s website Coconut & Quinoa was one of the first foodie blogs that I fell in love with when I entered the blogosphere zone. I was attracted to Amy’s tantalising use of seasonal ingredients and her ability to make alternative baked goods that looked so utterly delicious. I think her carrot pistachio cup cupcakes ...
First I must apologise for three sweet recipes in a row. However, given it has been Easter and therefore a celebration time surrounded with all things sweet and chocolatey, I just had to share this recipe while there is still a bit of holiday buzz. Recently I received a request from Organic Burst to ...
