I’m certain I could never have enough smoked paprika in my life, which is how smoked paprika hummus came to be. I was preparing a batch for us this week and suddenly couldn’t resist throwing some smoked paprika in. So in it went! I only need to open the jar […]

Gorgeous garlic and chive labneh
This little recipe earned itself the name ‘Gorgeous garlic and chive labneh’ because, well, isn’t it?! I absolutely adore flowers and I always have. I even dabbled in floristry when I was deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up. Those freezing 3 or 4am starts at the […]
Banana porridge to warm on winter days
Banana porridge to warm on winter days… Yes! Absolutely necessary as we progress deeper into winter in the Southern Hemisphere. I was actually starting to think winter wasn’t coming for a while there. Now I think all the seasons are just a little delayed because it sure is chilly! This […]
Reduce food waste with frittata
Reduce food waste with frittata you say….. Yes! It may seem a bit of a stretch, but nothing could be simpler 😊 I was both honoured and privileged to have had the opportunity to attend a breakfast with Dr Jane Goodall this morning. She spoke about the poor health of […]
Buddha bowls for breakfast
Buddha bowls, breakfast bowls….. Whatever you choose to call these they are a wonderful way to include a variety of wholefoods at breakfast ❤️ I think we can all tend to get quite stuck on breakfast sometimes. We look straight to cereal, granola, toast, a muffin on the way to […]
Quick and easy protein bliss balls
I love having a bliss ball on hand as a little afternoon treat, especially when I get to have it with something decadent like a turmeric latte….. or the occasional wholesome hot chocolate 😀 I like my bliss balls to be a mixture of textures and flavours personally, depends on […]
Mini omelettes
Preparing a nutritious breakfast as you fly out the door can seem an impossible task some days. This is where make-ahead meals, like these delicious mini omelettes (or frittatas – whichever you prefer 😊), can definitely shine. They can be made in a big batch on a weekend, or a […]
Chocolate and raspberry panna cotta Valentine’s tarts
My husband and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day…. it’s such a commercialised occasion although it does have historic origins that I find quite interesting. So why the Valentine’s Tart then? Because I am a complete and utter sucker! The advertising and the fuss gets to me Every. Single. Year! […]
Macadamia freezer fudge
I have never been a traditional fudge fan if I’m completely honest. I KNOW! Where do you even start with someone like me? 😳 Trust me, I tried to like it on many, many occasions but it was far too sweet for my tastes…. even back in the days when my […]
Blueberry and macadamia yoghurt bark
I had a good and proper bout of Mondayitis today. I used to get it weekly when I worked in the corporate world because I never wanted to go back to the office on Monday, but it’s very rare it happens now that I’m studying what I love. I had a […]
Kohlrabi fries
Kohlrabi fries – by far my favourite way to enjoy this under-appreciated vegetable. And I’ll admit, I only recently fell in love with kohlrabi myself. This was all thanks to joining my local community garden and learning more about what we were planting and harvesting. Before pulling some out of […]
Banana pancakes
Pancakes can feel like such an indulgent treat, but depending on your choice of ingredients they can also make a wholesome and nourishing breakfast….. or snack as is often the case for me. A delicious pancake needs very few ingredients as I’ve found, although they need a little more care […]
