Delicious. Creative. Honest
Simple yet satisfying banana loaf. A great take on a somewhat classic tea cake. This recipe I make on a regular basis and freeze single serve portions to add as a lunchbox treat. An excellent recipe to use up any really ripe bananas you have on hand.
A walnut torte that is light and fluffy and can be made gluten free. A great way to use up excess walnuts this walnut torte is fantastic alongside a cup of tea. I like mine with just a dusting of icing sugar but feel free to add a dollop of cream and side of berries to fancy up this little treat with a bit of pizazz.
Super simple yet deliciously satisfying these apple turnovers using puff pastry contain a lot of nostalgia for me. Sweet and crisp stewed apples with a dash of cinnamon (or pumpkin spice) and a handful of sultanas make these hand pies easy to make and easy to devour over and over and over again. A fine reason to keep a packet of ready rolled puff pastry in the freezer at all times.
This apple and blackberry slump is a great, quick and easy after dinner treat. Perfect with a quinelle of freshly whipped cream or ice cream, this is a dessert best eaten steaming hot and straight out of the oven. Here I show you how to make one portion for now and a portion for later or as a freezer meal which is great for when you need something sweet to treat any unexpected house guests.
A sourdough discard recipe for delicious chocolate raspberry biscuits that are soft, fudge-like and full of complex flavours to tempt the interest of your taste buds. Browned butter combined with brown sugar give a welcomed caramelised sweet balance to the tartness of raspberries and the tang of sourdough starter. Admittedly, these biscuits may not be the most elegant or eye pleasing biscuits I’ve made but they sure make up for their ugliness with deliciousness. Addictive and too easy to just keep eating these sourdough discard biscuits are a must try.
These vanilla cupcakes are not only gluten free, they are dairy free vegan and delicious too!

This chocolate brownie slice is another delectable treat I made for my 5 year old’s birthday party. It is once again food allergy or food intolerance(s) friendly. Gluten free, dairyfree, soy free, vegetarian and deliciously moist! In fact, it can be made paleo too (just check the ingredients of the chocolate chips are paleo too and you can make this recipe paleo). Another awesome feature of this recipe is it is very easy to make especially if you have a stand mixer but you certainly do not need one to successfully make this recipe, just make sure the ingredients are well combined.
A birthday cake of extravagance! this pineapple cake is not only made to look like a pineapple, it is made using pineapple cake so tastes like pineapple too. Even better is the base of grassy green is a platform of gluten free and dairy free pineapple. I had fun making this one!
This apricot slice is quick and easy to make and uses only 4 ingredients. It is gluten and dairy free as well as full of raw food goodness. A sweet and healthy treat for everyone even if you are on a rice free or soy free diet.
A cloud cake made for my son’s fifth birthday party. Made to look like a cloud, this cake was delicious and completely devoured at the cloud themed event.
