My boy started school today. It’s hard to believe my little baby has grown up so much, in what seems like the blink of an eye. I remember when he was born, my own mum and my mother in law both told me to cherish every minute, as it is over before you know…

Watermelon + Feta Salad
You really couldn’t get a more summery dish, even if you tried. We just survived one of the most intense heatwave on record in Victoria – this is exactly the kind of refreshing lunch that helps you get through. Some people screw their nose up at the thought of watermelon featured in a savoury…
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…
Chocolate Macadamia + Coconut Tart

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…
Drop what you’re doing – it’s a healthy SNICKERS!
Never have I been more excited about something I’ve made. Honestly, this clean and raw ‘Snickers’ is hands down, better than anything I have ever eaten. Ever. So simple too. Just whizz it up, pop it in the freezer to set for an hour, and presto! Time to indulge. But don’t worry – it’s another one…
Broad Bean Falafels + Tahini Yoghurt
I am a lover of Winter, much more so than most people. The oven is always on, warming up the house, and with it the delicious smells of something I am about to enjoy. There are a lot of cakes. Probably a few more than what is deemed normal, I am sure it is just…
Raw Brownie Bliss Balls
I often get asked “Oh you’ve got a blog – what kind of food do you cook?” And it always stumps me. For someone who is so passionate about food – both taste and nutrition – it is kinda ridiculous that I struggle to answer this question. I have been trying to figure out exactly…
