Spelt Scones
Scones are a classic staple for afternoon tea or special treat and these Spelt Scones offer a delicious alternative to wheat-based scones.

Snickers Yoghurt Ice Pop
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.

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.

This particular recipe is a simple classic with egg, zucchini, rocket and cheese topped…
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…
Japanese Dressing
Liven up any leafy greens with this oishii (delicious) Japanese dressing!

Fruity Rice Paper Parcels
These Fruity Rice Paper Parcels are a simple and versatile sweet treat – like a gluten-free hand pie of sorts.

Healthy Home Made Tim Tams
I’ve had many requests for Healthy Home Made Tim Tams, and here it is. Tim Tams are such an iconic Australian biscuit, however they do contain many questionable ingredients including vegetable oil, many additives and also cochineal which is a food colouring derived from insects (and known to cause severe allergies). These are easy enough…

Pumpkin Sage Rotolo
This Pumpkin Sage Rotolo is a delicious vegetarian meal. I’ve made it for a vegetarian family member on Christmas Day as its a lovely meal to pre-make and serve as part of a big feast. This dish is rustic, so it isn’t the prettiest but I assure you what it lacks in looks, it makes…
Brandy Sauce
The best accompaniment to Christmas Pudding is a good Brandy Sauce. This simple, easy to make Brandy Sauce is a delicious, low sugar option that is the perfect topping. I used rapadura as my sugar but this does add a bit more golden colour to the sauce. You can use caster sugar if you’d prefer…
