gluten free anzac cookies w hemp seeds

So yeah, Anzac Biscuits aside, I just realised my cookbook. Like what?! Seriously, the last 24 hours have been a ‘pinch myself moment’. Even though this project has been going on solidly in the background for years – like a rollercoaster ride with serious ups and downs – in this current moment the ride just ...

apple pie

apple pie

So this is one of the recipes I planned on sharing with you when I was away. I even got out the camera and photographed it in anticipation of putting the full blog post together. That might not sound like much of a chore, but with the relaxed level that I was at when ...

vanilla macadamia 'cake' cookies

vanilla macadamia ‘cake’ cookies

These cookies actually saved me last week. I made them on the usually Wednesday ‘recipe creation day’ and then literally the next day came down with food poisoning or gastro.

slow roasted beet & potato salad w preserved lemon, capers & olives

So beetroot and potato salads aside, we are about 2 weeks away from having our house on the market! Currently I am working from home while my hubby and my parents are painting the outside of the house. The carpets down (not sure on the colour but what can you do?) and the glass is ...
