herb crusted chicken schnitzel

Who doesn’t love a good schnitzel? How good is that succulent juicy meat encased inside that delicious crumbed crust?

The traditional schnitzel is made with a wheat flour base and usually dipped ...

easy besan crepes

easy besan crepes

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 ...

fall vegetable cannellini bean stew w spelt berries & kale w/ amy chaplin

  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.

wheatgrass baked doughnuts w chocolate ganache

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 ...

orange, rosemary & raisin scones

I made a batch of these scones over a year ago now and for some reason forgot about how scrumptious they were.  So when I saw some lonely oranges in the fridge along with the raisins I had bought for my hot cross buns (to come) the memories came flooding back and I just ...

crispy sage and anchovy pork

crispy sage and anchovy pork

I’ve been meaning for way too long to share this recipe with you all. It’s hardly even a recipe given it’s so easy to do, but the combination of these key ingredients creates a flavour that packs the perfect complimentary punch to pork. The sage is cooked till crunchy, yet melting on first bite. ...

how to make tahini

how to make tahini

Really this had to happen. A girl can’t just go on posting about how fabulous tahini is, drowning every dish in it and then not sharing with everyone how to make up your own batch of this liquid gold now can she. I tend to use the hashtag #tahiniporn when posting social media pictures of ...
