Simple recipes, whole foods, inspired health
This is such a yummy old fashioned style Chocolate Slice - it reminds me a lot of the one my nan always made me, only a little healthier. It's a lovely chocolatey treat to stock your freezer for the upcoming new school term. Food memories are the best. As a kid I used to bake with my nan every weekend, we even occasionally 'invented recipes'. The ones that worked out, she carefully wrote on a ...
This Rolled Turkey with Quinoa Cranberry Stuffing is the ultimate special occasion meal...absolutely delicious and truely a feast fit for a crowd on Christmas Day. Now before you click away thinking there is no way you can be bothered rolling meat...here's the thing, you don't have to. I've made a rolled turkey of sorts every Christmas, because I find it easier to cook than a whole bird. So I ...
With the festive season sneaking up quicker than I'd like (seriously, where has this year gone??), I thought I'd share one of our go-to recipes when feeding a crowd... Beef Fillet with Garlic Tahini Sauce. We tend to make it as it's quick and easy and you can rest it for as long as you like so it's pretty forgiving.

Every year, I find it's about now that the once crisp, bursting with flavour apples I've been buying are just not doing it for me. Some just don't have the flavour, others are floury and a bit gross. But I never throw them, I just re-invent them like I've done here with this Apple Crumble Cake. Truth is, once cooked ...
My hubby loves lamb so I thought it fitting to share this Lamb Kefta recipe ahead of Father's Day. One of my families greatest pleasures is trying different cuisines. Middle Eastern is a firm favourite and this Lamb Kefta is based on one we like to order at a lovely restaurant nearby. I've made this to feed a crowd, or, it does us for two meals (and the kids lunchbox too). One night I serve ...
This is my take on a Dutch style, Healthy Pea and Ham soup. I can't always source good quality ham hocks so I've improvised to replicate the flavour combo of smoked meat and legumes that I grew up with, but using a pork chop and bacon instead of the hock. The result is this tasty, hearty stew like soup that's more a complete meal, than a starter. Whilst it has a long cooking time, it really is ...
