I’ll be honest, Rice Paper Rolls are not usually part of my repertoire. I mean I love them, but I generally just buy them rather than make them at home (which, is pretty peculiar behaviour for me actually!). Unfortunately I am super fussy and cannot bring myself to even try the ones from the local suburban ‘Sushi’ shop….

Burst Cherry Tomato Sauce: The Little Black Dress of the Kitchen
Thanks to some generous friends, our own little veggie garden, and a ‘special’ at the green grocer, I ended up with a glut of tomatoes. Mainly cherry tomatoes. I googled a couple of recipes but none had really grabbed me. I have a lovely and super talented chef friend (Angela) who I call often with…
Frozen Choc Banana Pops
Whether you want to drop a few extra kilos or just want to make healthier choices, organisation is fundamental to your success. I constantly fall into the trap of letting myself get too hungry, and reaching for the the first thing in sight – the quickest way to satisfy those hunger pangs. It is almost…
Choc-Tahini Spread
Those of you who know me well, already know I am big on ‘homemade’. Rather than buying products from the store, I prefer to recreate my own versions at home. I am fairly certain this has been instilled in me from my childhood. Growing up with a single mum, funds were very limited. We didn’t…
Raw CHERRY RIPE Cheesecake
I was hoping not to post another dessert recipe this week. I still have that post Christmas remorse from eating a record amount of chocolate. I was planning on making some fresh homemade pasta, with all the spare yolks I have in the fridge, but as I type it is one of those awful 40degree…
Lemon Delicious Pudding
We have a lemon tree at home. I sometimes wonder what on earth I did before we had one – I use lemons in just about everything! Our tree produces ginormous yellow lemons with a thick rind and heaps of juice, perfect for making preserved lemons, lemonade, lemon and herb vinaigrette, or anything which…
Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl
I made a pact with my friend from work. A no bread/pasta/rice for 7 days pact. Near impossible when you work at a bakery. You see, as I have explained several times already, I eat a hellofalot of bread. All of us bakery staff do. So a one week ban was very necessary, to keep the…
Beet Hummus AND Carrot + Cannellini Bean Paste
I have a deep love for bread. Not just any old loaf, it needs to be good. A big chunk of my diet consists of sandwiches and toast. Perhaps a bit more than I’d like to admit. I have always been a lover of bread, however working in an artisan bakery has taken my bread…
Lemon + Raspberry RAW Cheesecake
Yes, I know. Another raw recipe. Every second dessert I’m making at the moment is raw. I assure you I’m not caught up in some kind of craze , but the appeal of eating something delicious which is also so very good for you is too much for me to resist! This is all relatively…
