These are a bit of a ‘cheats’ falafel, as I have used tinned beans and chickpeas. The recipe is very loose, I am not one for measuring exact amounts of chopped herbs and the like. Use it as a guide. I used brown rice flour, as i made these for my lil sis, who has…
Apple Cinnamon Tea Cake
Last week I was told by a friend, one I don’t know all that well, that they were surprised to hear about my wild teen years and ‘troubled’ past. They had always thought I was so conservative. Conservative! I couldn’t believe it! It’s been on my mind ever since. It is quite intriguing how other…
Stuffed Mushrooms with Ricotta + Chilli
I am the only one in the house who likes mushrooms. Today I found myself home alone for dinner, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. I made myself something I don’t get to eat very often. I grabbed a pile of large field mushrooms from the grocer, a tiny bird’s eye chill, and a wedge of…
Mustard-Maple Baked Beans, with Goats Cheese
After a 2 week hiatus I am back. Apologies to those of you who were eagerly awaiting a new recipe in your inbox – I found I was placing unnecessary pressure on myself to get a blog post done. I decided to just let it go. Mind you, it was a difficult decision for…
Simple Turkish Eggs
As you may already know, I tend to get a little obsessive over things. I have even had a period of egg obsession (as explained in this post) and now I am in the midst of another. Much to my dismay, kitchen time has be very limited of late – I seem to be eating…
Barley Salad with Carrot, Fennel + Avocado
I had the privilege of attending the first Photo School workshop over the weekend. Kate Berry and Peta Mazey really know their stuff. And they taught us all how to take better photos, in the most fun and non-threatening way. They asked me if I’d like to provide lunch for all the workshop goers. I…
Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Muffins
Second week in a row I am posting a recipe for cakes/muffins. Apologies if it’s a bit boring – it is just what I happen to be cooking.. I was inspired this week by a combination of things. There was the lovely @inkedincolour who posted a gorgeous recipe for pumpkin cakes, they looked incredible and I was…
Little Lemon Poppy Seed Cakes
Just a quick post this week, whilst I settle into my new ‘full capacity’ life. I made these little cakes to pop into young Clancy’s lunchbox during the week. Our lemon tree is heaving with lemons – it’s unreal. And Clancy, who is not really a cake fan, actually loves lemon cake of all things….
Raw Fruit + Nut Chocolate Bark
Of all the recipes I post on this site, the raw vegan treats are, by far, the most popular. Which suggests to me that we are more health conscious now than we have even been. We are informed, and aware. Nutritious ingredients – the superfoods – have become so popular, that they are now affordable and accessible. These…
Roasted Carrots with Couscous + Minted Yoghurt
I started university this week. It is a full-time, 4 year degree. Somehow I need to find the time, and slot it in amongst work hours, family duties and blogging. Don’t be surprised to find the recipes are even simpler, and quicker to prepare. Don’t be surprised to find less photos per post, and…
