This Snickers Yoghurt Ice Pop is a delicious, easy to make treat that’s perfect for all the family. They are quite low in sugar but still taste very decadent. To keep these popsicles as something anyone can make, I’ve skipped the mould for freezing and instead shaped directly onto a tray with baking paper. The…

Vegetable Flat Bread
This Vegetable Flat Bread developed from a desire to have something simple alongside a main meal, yet feeling nourishing and gentle on the digestive system. This bread is mostly vegetables, bound together with flour and made flavoursome from the spices and seasonings added. This thick batter is baked like a thin slice, not as a…
Cinnamon Roll Smoothie
This Cinnamon Roll Smoothie is a naturally sweet treat, perfect with breakfast or at the end of a long school day. It’s a nice thick smoothie, or could be used as a smoothie bowl with additional granola, fruit, nuts or seeds sprinkled over it. The banana does need to be very ripe, if not, you…
Almond Maple Shortbread (3 ingredients)
This Almond Maple Shortbread is a gluten and dairy-free treat to enjoy alongside a cuppa! The dough is a little sticky to work with which is why I roll it between two pieces of parchment paper. I like to cut the shortbread into simple little bite sized squares as its quickest and easiest, but if…
Turkish Eggs
This is a pretty special, indulgent breakfast that will revolutionise how you think about ingredient pairing! Turkish eggs, traditionally called çilbir, pronounced “chulburr” are poached eggs on a bed of garlic yoghurt with spice-infused butter poured over. The trickiest step with this recipe is probably the poached eggs, but I have a video tutorial HERE…
Crispy Chicken Fritters
These Crispy Chicken Fritters are perfect as a simple dinner or included in a lunchbox. They are protein packed, easy to make and most importantly, taste great. These are good to make ahead and freeze so suitable for the lunchbox (if summer, I pack frozen and they have thawed by lunch. Otherwise thaw in the…
Coconut Sago
Coconut sago is a delicious dessert that brings back fond memories of my childhood. This grain-free, dairy-free dessert is lightly sweetened then topped with tropical fresh fruit – definitely something to make when the mango and passionfruit are in season and the flavours are in their prime. I’ve only slightly sweetened it, so if serving…
Socca (Chickpea Flat Bread)
Socca is a savoury French-Italian pancake style flatbread. It is a fairly neutral-tasting dish, made alive with generous seasonings and the toppings of your choice. You can keep it simple with a scattering of fresh herbs or broaden the flavours with roasted veggies, olives and cheese. It’s perfect to enjoy as a side or mid-afternoon…
Potato Crust Quiche (grain-free)
This Potato Crust Quiche is one of my favourite options for a gluten-free and grain-free quiche, perfect for brunch. Grated potato forms a lovely net for the egg mixture to cook in and is a great alternative to a traditional quiche. This particular recipe is a simple classic with egg, zucchini, rocket and cheese topped…
Banana Strawberry Smoothie
This Banana Strawberry Smoothie is a simple but super delicious flavour combination. Banana is the ultimate smoothie companion, giving creaminess, fibre and potassium. Strawberries are sweet and colourful and provide some Vitamin C and manganese. I add in raw cauliflower for a bit of hormone and gut support (trust me, you wouldn’t know it was…
Miso Chicken Noodle Bowl
This miso chicken noodle bowl is a quick, easy and family-friendly meal you can have on the table in 30 minutes, making it the perfect dinner for busy weeknights. The kids will love this nutty umami flavour with fun noodles and colourful vegetables. Preparation is key for this noodle bowl- make sure you have everything…
Lemon Coconut Sorbet
This Lemon Coconut Sorbet is based on the viral Tik Tok Lemon sorbet, but I think this will taste a lot better. The Tik Tok version used whole lemons (skin, pith, seeds and all) and whilst this will save you a few minutes prep time, if you use lemons with thick pith and seeds, it…
Quick Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
This quick Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup is a recipe that not only promises a burst of Thai-inspired goodness but also does so with utmost ease. Life has a way of keeping us on our toes, and in those moments when time is of the essence, this recipe emerges as a true kitchen saviour. What…

Lemon Maple Baked Haloumi
This Lemon Maple Baked Haloumi is an absolute crowd winner for entertaining vegetarian family and friends. Make sure you serve this fresh from the oven while it is hot, melty and delicious! When haloumi cools, it goes rubbery so it must be enjoyed right out of the hot pan. It is incredibly simple to make…
Fruity Rice Paper Parcels
These Fruity Rice Paper Parcels are a simple and versatile sweet treat – like a gluten-free hand pie of sorts. The best thing is you can fill with any fruit you enjoy, although I do highly recommend the rhubarb and strawberry combo. They are best enjoyed hot out of the pan for the ultimate crispness….
Short Cut Tortilla Quiche (in 10 minutes)
I actually drew a blank naming this recipe – it’s just a thing I make when I don’t have much time for prep or to do dishes. My kids have called it a quiche before, hence I thought Short Cut Quiche was reasonable enough! The best part about this recipe apart from how quick and…
Chicken Nuggets
So many kids love Chicken Nuggets, but unfortunately the store bought options leave a lot to be desired. When creating this super simple recipe I wanted to add in some vegetables without them being noticeable and after quite a few attempts, the sweet potato worked best taste and texture wise (but feel free to experiment…
Baba Ganoush
I love Baba Ganoush – it’s one of my favourite ways to enjoy eggplant (or aubergine). It’s the perfect combination of creamy, smokey and zesty lemon flavours, it’s easy to make and best of all, you don’t need a food processor to blend it. The most traditional way to make it is over a live…
Kale Chips
At the end of winter I harvested a huge amount of kale – there was so much even I was struggling to think of ways to use it all up. Then my kids reminded me about Kale Chips. These are seriously easy to make and incredibly moorish. When my kids were little they went through…
Charred Cos with Royal Dressing
Sometimes it’s the simple things right? This Charred Cos with Royal Dressing is so incredibly delicious. The dressing is the hero of the dish for sure. I’ve opted to char the lettuce but you certainly don’t have to. You’re going to want this salad often, I promise. I love this alongside my protein of choice…
One Pot Bacon Tomato Penne
This delicious, One Pot Bacon Tomato Penne is the easiest, tastiest pasta dish. And best of all, you’ll only have one pan to wash up!! The penne is cooked in the tomato sauce, absorbing the water as well as the flavours of tomato, wine and garlic. This is a great meal to set for older…
Strawberry Almond Loaf
This delicate and slightly jammy Strawberry Almond Loaf is a delicious flavour combination and makes for a moreish moist cake. Naturally gluten/grain free, it can also be easily made dairy-free. I love having slices of this on hand in the freezer for a quick lunchbox filler (if nuts allowed) or to go with an afternoon…
