Goooood morning, crikey it feels like it’s been ages, but perhaps not that long (only a week!) – and I am happy to say I have five recipes lined up ready and waiting, so plenty more to come over the next little while. This is one I put together for the Dish magazine website, […]
Helloooo – if you come here often you will already probably know these things: 1. I love tarts, 2. I particularly love lemon tarts, 3. I am something of a perfectionist (as confirmed by the Fisher & Paykel What’s Your Cooking Style?’ quiz). To that end, the second recipe I thought of when they asked me to […]
Hey-ho, Sunday afternoon the weekend before Christmas and for some reason I am working – argh – thank God it’s a job I love, gettin’ all creative on it or it would be very grim indeed. I just wanted to take a quick break to share version 2 of this pic for the super easy […]
Just sitting here feeling very bah-hum-buggy with a sore back thanks to the melanoma wide-excision yesterday – I am one of those people who rushes around at a million miles an hour, so having to move cautiously is anathema to me.

Ho, ho, ho and how’re you going in the lead up to Christmas? I am feeling a little bit out of control (frantic) it has to be said – with work coming out my ears, a birthday bash to organise (now three days ago – went splendidly!), Henry and Josh coming to stay, then […]
You might be thinking I’ve been a bit hum-buggy lately with no festive recipes of note – but ta dah – finally there is this! I have always wanted to make mille feuilles and thought in theory they sounded simple and looked complicated – and that is exactly true, they are actually dead easy to […]
Well since getting back from Australia I’m settling back into normal life with a thump! I have my arm-length ‘to do’ list sorted – now I actually just need to ‘do’. One of my new ventures (and on my list) is with Fairfax newspapers throughout New Zealand – I am happily going to be contributing […]
Hi all – well although I have only been away for a week, it feels like a month – I have done so much in the last seven days! I headed to Australia, incredibly privileged to be a guest at Invite the World to Dinner, an event hosted by Tourism Australia and held in Hobart, […]
Helloooooo! This is a fab celebration recipe just in the nick of time for celebrations in the lead up to Christmas, and one of my recipes featured in the lovely winter issue of Dish magazine. Making these brought back childhood memories of my mum ferociously beating choux pastry in a saucepan, and while the recipe […]
Hiya – this recipe has been in the back of my mind for ages now and I am so glad I have finally managed to make it! When you scroll down you might be a little bit freaked out at the list of ingredients, but I want to reassure you that it’s just lots of […]
