Peanut Butter and chocolate is a combination sent down from the Gods. Absolutely no denying it. If I have both ingredients in the house I sometimes indulge in weird obsessive behaviour of eating peanut butter off the spoon with choc chips piled on top. It is amazing but it has weird satanic powers and takes…

GF Passionfruit Layer Cake w Cream Cheese Frosting
As some of you may know, this was the cake I made for Maxine’s 1st birthday. I did LOTS of research for this cake because I wanted it to be a huge decadent thing but also be gluten free so I could eat it too. And also – I wanted it to actually be delicious….
GF Lemon Polenta + Yoghurt Cake
Had a spontaneous urge to bake today. I also did weird stuff like clean out the fridge and wash all the shelves.. perhaps I’m nesting? I have one week left before my baby arrives so I’m cherishing every moment I have with just me and my boy. Hard to believe my first baby is suddenly a…
Raspberry + Banana NICE-CREAM
My default is to buy way too many bananas. And they never really go bad, each stage has a specific purpose: yellow bananas are for eating fresh, medium speckled bananas are for the freezer, and black bananas are for cakes and pancakes. Now that its summer I am baking less and less. We don’t have…
Peanut Butter Bliss Balls
For me, there’s more to daylight savings than just winding the clock an hour forward and rejoicing in the new found evening light. It’s become a marker, marking that time in the year where life starts to shift a bit as habits change and get shuffled around. I always feel a kind of reinvigoration, similar…
Mini Strawberry Galettes
With the lead up to the release of my book, I’m preparing my brain for a world that is a bit of stranger to me – the media. Amongst the anxiety of it all, I found myself having to answer interview questions for an upcoming magazine article (cute!). True to my nature I put a…
Carrot Cake Pancakes with Whipped Maple Butter
It is quite surreal to be typing up the announcement that accompanies this recipe. Eat This My Friend is soon to be in print. A hold-it-in-your-hands type of actual real life book. And whilst I am incredibly excited, it kinda also seems too good to be true. So much so that sometimes I am wonder when…
Raspberry + Almond Meringue Roulade
Christmas in my family was always a bit of a non-event. They were never the type to make a big deal of it. No Christmas tree to decorate, or twinkling of pretty Christmas lights in the lounge room. No carols either. There wasn’t the anticipation of a midnight visit from Santa and his reindeers, thus there…
Gingerbread Cake with Lemon Icing
Some of you may remember the time we went on an amazing desert adventure. I made a double batch of peanut butter and choc-chip cookies to keep us occupied during the long driving stints, and my friend Marty made his incredible gingerbread cake. I remember eating this cake, straight from a tupperware container that was resting…
World’s Best Pecan Pie
This week I was faced with, what could only be described as, one of my absolute worst nightmare type situations. I had been invited to a party – a pot-luck Thanksgiving party – and had nominated myself to be the person in charge of Pecan Pie. I was pretty excited about this. There would be delicious…
