I realised late last week that I had not made experimented with something completely new and sweet for some time. Also, Rissie was waxing lyrical about a strawberry and cashew cream slice I made months ago so I thought I would try to do something completely different. This is a frozen dessert, but it…
I just love this biscuit recipe and I have also promised myself I would work my way through the little collection of essential oils I received from Self Care Co. Archie loves cinnamon and he asked me a little while ago if the next time I made a batch I could do a cinnamon version.…
My dessert dish for the final presentation for the Fundamentals of Plant-based cooking for Plantlab Culinary. I love this chocolate cake as it is so easy and such a treat. I have never made Raspberry Sorbet before or a Cashew praline (let alone any praline) so this was very much a treat of an experiment…
These are super easy, only have five ingredients and take but a few minutes to make! They are tasty little morsels and are very moreish. Great to have in the fridge if you can resist eating in one go. Macadamia & Cashew Bliss Balls 350 gram pitted dried dates – soak in water for a…
The lemon and olive oil cookies I made this week I just had to make another batch. This time we did and Orange version and the kids made these! Orange & Olive Oil Cookies. Juice of one orange – approximately 2 tablespoons of juice Zest of one orange 100 gram caster sugar 150 gram all…
I love lemons and have always been a sucker for anything with lemon in it. My beautiful lemon tree looks like it will be flourishing when lemon season arrives – it truly is a magical tree that never stops giving. I think the sight of all my baby lemons inspired me to try something new. …
I was sent a beautiful box of essential oils recently from Self Care Co. and have been dying for a chance to play around with these. Between work, study and all the animals it has been hard to find time to make something, just because! Today I had promised the kids we would head to…
I was lucky enough to receive a lovely collection of incredibly beautiful essential oils from Dayle from Self Care Co a little while ago. I have been looking for an excuse to use them. Luckily today I was meant to make a Mint Cream biscuit for my current course, Fundamentals of Food Photography at Plant…
I am onto a winner with the frozen cashew cream slice. I have often said that Rissie is fussy. Sometimes she drives me up the wall. But she got cranky at me because I was having a piece of my Strawberry & Blueberry slice and did not offer her any. I was sort of under…
One of the things that I had promised myself when I was travelling all those many moons ago, was that when I returned to my kitchen I would experiment regularly with some new recipes. It has only taken me almost 6 months to get my act together but I am getting there. The recipes that…
It is so nice to be back in my kitchen again. One thing I promised myself when I got back to Australia was to dedicate myself to the pursuit of amazing vegan food. Anyone who knows me, knows how obsessed I am with food. I am the sort of person who will be…
I hate bodily fluids. I really, really hate them. Most things that the body creates tend to make me squeamish or if I am completely honest, violently ill. Poo, wee, vomit all make me want to chuck. And I don’t want to talk about anything else that the body creates which is probably why it…
