Well hello there – you are definitely justified in thinking I have dropped off the face of the earth, but I’m still heeeeere! It has been a seriously long while, but I am so fkng excited to say I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with the book. I can’t believe […]
L’il re-post of this recipe from October last year. My apologies but I have been so flat-out with the book and work, that things have been a bit quiet on the bloggie front lately. Counting down to final deadlines and then it will be back to business as usual 🙂 I can’t wait to […]
Goooood morning – and I hope that if you are in New Zealand, you are hunkered down somewhere safe and dry as we await the arrival of the ‘biggest storm in 50 years’. Bloody hell – not good timing with people travelling around the country to visit loved ones for Easter…so today’s recipe is my […]
Holy moly did it rain last night (in Auckland) or what??? Happily I am still tucked up in bed with my cup of tea and heading to a slightly later yoga session today – that would be for day 36 in a row – wooooo – almost at my 40 day target! Actually I love […]
Good Friday morning – woah that just made me think about Easter coming soon – where is this year going?!? Today’s recipe is one I put together for the lovely Dish magazine, and it’s an ideal super-easy autumn weekend baking project. The mini loaves (or you can make them as muffins) are moist and flavour […]
Hello lo (as my sister would say) and welcome to the weekend. No recipe today – no, wait – don’t go – I just wanted to quickly share some pics from an amazing day out yesterday and give you the heads up on some awesome places to eat…As you can see I was super lucky […]
Hello there – I’m feeling very guilty as I write this as I should be just home from yoga, but when the alarm went off at 5:15am this morning I pulled the covers over my head and hid in bed instead. Consequently I am off to a 9:30am class (bad, bad, bad for my work-day […]
Good Friday morning – today’s recipe is an easy l’il weekend dinner of spiced lamb & chickpea meatballs served with grunty harissa-spiked hummus, intense, soft semi-dried tomatoes and briney black olives – the trick is to get a little bit of everything in one mouthful for the full flavour hit. They’re also great for getting […]
Woooooo hoooo – looking forward to the weekend. Happy Friday – have a good one 🙂
Holy moly did it rain in Auckland last night or what? This year we seem to have slid straight from a dismal spring to a momentary summer and have already hit autumn…but I suppose at least we have comfort food to look forward to 🙂 These recipes are two that I created for Fairfax so […]
Gooood morning – well the first day of autumn was yesterday, but around New Zealand most of us feel like summer has/had barely started. Thankfully we haven’t quite left warmer temperatures behind just yet, which is why I thought this was such a perfect dessert for now. It is a lusciously boozy rum and raisin […]
Morning all, and a very happy Valentines Day to you. Hm – I must confess to originally feeling a bit poo bummy about posting a recipe for V Day, but then I thought – how bloody ridiculous! This dessert which can be made for your love, but also for a bunch of mates, is perfect […]
Helloooo – I feel like it’s been a while again – I must confess to feeling a little overwhelmed with work and the cookbook at the moment and consequently haven’t been on the blog as much as I would like, a state which will probably continue until the beginning of June. Busy but exciting times. […]
Good morning from the comfy old blogging ground of my bed, complete with second cup of tea. Today’s recipe is one I put together for Dish magazine, perfect for summer drinks parties, picnics, lunch – whatever really – they are gorgeous little pastry parcels filled with iron-rich spinach, salty feta, nubbly pine nuts and sweet […]
