We're right on the cusp of shifting from winter to new season summer produce. 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.

But lately my kids have been fussing over it and that's always a sign that it's time for me to change things up a bit...and this sensational Orange Almond Coconut Granola was born! With oranges in season, I thought I'd inject some seasonal flavours ...
By now you all know I love to put a healthy spin on classic recipes and make them as nourishing as possible (without any compromise on taste). This delicious Superfood Quinoa Pilau recipe is my twist on the classic, which is traditionally made with rice. The ‘superfood’ tag is generally used to describe foods that are particularly high in essential nutrients, phytonutrients and antioxidants. ...
