Plum & Lime Cake
This is a lovely little crowd-pleasin’ cake, quick & simple to whip up. The batter is spiked with tangy lime zest, while the topping is juicy tart plums – using tinned plums means you can enjoy this treat year-round. No fresh limes? Try lemon! Equally zestily delicious!
…Capsicum Bruschetta
My cousin was enthusing about a capsicum bruschetta she’d made, involving sultanas and anchovies. I was intrigued by the sweet alongside the salty, so I experimented with capers – and this is the finger lickin’ result. Slick, oily, and savoury, yet also sweet and juicy – with only a handful of ingredients, each element gets a chance to shine.
…Banana Breakfast Bites
A perfect breakfast on the run, these chunky little biscuits are simply a mash-up of seeds & chocolate chips, bound together by banana & tahini, then baked until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
…Tahini Sesame Cookies
Simple to make & deliciously light to eat! With only a handful of ingredients, these crispy little biscuits are naturally sugar free, vegan, packed with nuts & seeds and make the loveliest light cookies for ice cream sandwiches.
…Tangy Lemon Tart (GF, vegan)
This was a trial recipe that instantly became a family favourite. We all love citrus & this wee tart packs a hefty lemon punch! Served chilled, it’s soft, jelly-ish, zesty, encased with a not-too-sweet simple pastry. I’m in love.
…Chocolate Sweet Potato Whip
With only 5 ingredients, this is a versatile wee recipe – you can use it as a luscious cake frosting, or team it up with chia pudding for a simple rich dessert. And who doesn’t love a healthy sweet treat where the main component is a sneaky vegetable?!
…Oven Baked Risotto with Mushrooms, Lemon & Fennel
Risotto is such divine, hearty comfort food. I enjoy the traditional ritual of spooning hot liquid into the rice mixture, but when I don’t have time to stand around stirring, I love this easy oven baked method. If you don’t have or like fennel, swap it for another seasonal herb. Lemon is a real flavour star here & will go well with everything….
Chocolate Chip Tahini Cookies
No food blog is complete without a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, right?! Quick, simple & not too sweet, these nutritious little biscuits are lovely eaten fresh, or dunked in a cup of tea. Tahini acts as a rich, mineral-laden binder, a creamy compliment to sweet maple syrup….
Triple Nut Butter Caramel Slice
Triple nut butter, I hear you ask? Yep, that’s because there’s peanut butter in all three layers of this decadent slice (you can swap it out for almond butter, but I’m a PB freak from way back) The base is a simple nutty date ‘dough’, the luscious middle layer of caramel involves dates & nut butter blended until smooth, while the chocolate coating is a rich blend of cacao, maple and – you guessed it – nut butter!…
