This simple choc chip slice recipe is for the days when you want an afternoon snack, but you really couldn't be bothered. That's not to say it's not amazingly yummy and moreish, because it is. What it mainly is, is fast. You will memorise the recipe within about two...
I've got a little vegetarian at home, so we regularly eat vego. Added to that, she won't eat any of the processed 'meat like' vegetarian products, so if I'm not cooking meat-free she's not really getting a balanced diet. A meal like this lentil cottage pie recipe is...
Years ago I used to live across the road from Crown Street Public School at #307. It was a huge, rundown terrace house that we filled with friends, frivolity and dysfunction. We were all living silly student lives, really. Up until all hours, running ourselves into...
These flaxseed and apricot bliss balls are just the ticket when you need a little pick-me-up. I'm trying not to eat between meals right now, but the 4 o'clock slump gets me nearly every day. I find the munching on just one of these lovely apricot bliss balls is enough...
Oh my, these triple chocolate chip muffins are GOOD. We're not talking 'coasting through' good, either. We're talking A+, here's your medal, thanks for working hard GOOD. Like my subtle end-of-year results comparison there? Are you listening, kids? So, when the kids...
I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm really old-school when it comes to recipes. I like the granny recipes like these honey biscuits more than anything. Recipes that have been made hundreds of thousands of times over the years by thousands of people. The kind of...
My absolute favourite cookbook right now is Sophie Hansen's A Basket By the Door. If you haven't picked up a copy of this gem, snag one immediately. Even if you never make these beautiful golden syrup biscuits, or the apple, fennel and pork sausage rolls or a batch of...
My Italian mother-in-law Maria (FYI 99% of Italian mothers-in-law are called Maria), makes a mighty fine biscuit. She generally has a batch of easy Italian biscuits coming out of the oven on any given day. And by 'batch' I mean around 200 biscotti. Marias don't do...
Even the word 'apple teacake' makes me feel warm and fuzzy. There's just something about cooked apples that speaks to the child within. And 'tea time' is pretty much my favourite time in any day. So, this particularly delightful apple teacake originally came from a...
This unbelievably good date loaf is one of the quickest cakes you’ll ever make. If you don’t think you’re a baker, let this date loaf completely change your mind. I reckon anyone can make it and anyone would like it. It’s not messy, fussy or finicky, but it sure...
Many of us are (rightfully) focused on taking care of our health, eating nourishing whole foods and trying to be active … while meditating and flossing and taking some time of disconnection, away from devices. These are each a wonderful act of self-care, and they...
My middle child is a shy one. She's full of beans and very outgoing when she is comfortable, but struggles when she doesn't know people well. In fact, I'd go so far to say that being asked to be more assertive with people she doesn't know is the very, very worst thing...
Here’s a treat – the Mars Bar slice. Take a Mars Bar and add butter to it then stir in some puffed rice and then coat the lot in chocolate. Oh lordy, it’s like taking a murmur and turning it into a heart attack, but in a totally fine way. This is quite simply the...
