So you might be thinking that this pasta looks suspiciously like the roasted carrot, haloumi, fennel and maple toasted pepita salad I posted last week. I’d like to be the first to confirm those suspicions. As I said on Instagram (I don’t want my lines to go to waste) I’m an expert in stretching out … Read more
I mean, is there anything brown butter can’t improve? Because brownie cookies are good, but brown butter brownie cookies are better. I’ve been toying around with these brownie cookies for a while (and promising the recipe on Instagram even longer, soz) and they’re finally here. The delay is due in part to illness, but mostly due … Read more
Have you ever heard of the term ‘recipe not recipe?’ Good, because you’re about to get a recipe not recipe for salad. I posted this salad on Instagram a few days ago and was overwhelmed by requests to post the recipe online. As such, much to your dismay, I’m sure, there is no lengthy spiel … Read more
I was thinking of naming this ‘the chocolate cake you’d bring to a family lunch with Aunty Sheryl and your dairy intolerant cousin in one room,’ but that’s a little lengthy, and perhaps a bit offensive to Aunty Sheryl. To me, this cake tastes like my memory of Coles cake (fellow ‘strayans, you know) which … Read more
In what is seemingly a past life, I would religiously, upon stumbling out of the pub on a Saturday night, walk past a local chip shop called Lord of the Fries. Not just any chip shop, they specialise in a variety of chip boxes, all smothered generously in a variety of vegan sauces – think … Read more
Oh boy. This chocolate brioche has been a long time in the making. Well, a gluten free chocolate, yeasted bread, has been, at least. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trying my hand at a chocolate babka, and for as long as I can remember, it’s been an absolute failure. Gluten free … Read more
These salted and vinegar smashed roasted potatoes started off as various iterations of the final dish: burnt butter and vinegar, vinegar, dill and basil, basil, dill and burnt butter. Sometimes, it seems, less actually is more, and 4-5 ingredients are all you need to make the crunchiest, most delicious ‘side dish’ that will be potentially … Read more
If you hadn’t noticed, this vegan, cheesy hasselback potato bake is a riff on the vegan mac’n cheese that I posted recently. I decided to make said riff because some people, like myself, have issues with grains. I’ve briefly discussed it before, but at the moment my digestive system is doing terribly with grains, regardless … Read more
Whenever I’m feeling sorry for my FODMAP self, I think of the low FODMAP vegans. As a general rule, vegans (or the vegans I see on Instagram, please forgive me) seem to eat a lot of fruit, and a lot of legumes – both heavily restricted on the FODMAP diet. If I couldn’t rely on … Read more
I’m not even being cutesy and blogger-y when I say that pancakes will never go out of style, and that the limit for pancake recipes does not exist. Pumpkin, banana, chocolate, plain – there are pancakes for every possible mood and occasion. These ones are gluten free and low FODMAP, all the while still delicious and a … Read more
Instagram is a purveyor of many things: The skinny tea model, the destination you’d never heard of but must immediately travel to, the rainbow salad and/or smoothie bowl with a hundred different superfood powders and star shaped fruit cuts. On a more subtle level, but equally as able to induce jealousy, I’d say, is the … Read more
I haven’t always been super enthused by the concept of avocado on pasta (isn’t that what pesto is for?) but I decided to give it a try after seeing so many glorious Instagram renditions of the dish. As much as I absolutely love a good pesto (and more importantly, as much as I love a … Read more
