"Darling, can you please get the basil?" Scotty quips with a twinkle in his eye. Luke pretends he doesn't hear the request, continuing to banter with the captive audience and add to his growing army of cacao and coconut haystacks. When pressed again Luke claims that he has no idea where the missing basil -- or the refrigerator it may be hidden in -- is instead handing Scott a spoonful of the chocolate mixture and changing the subject. Scott and Luke are as lovely as they are lovely … [Read more...]
Baked Ricotta Cheesecake with Fig & Strawberry Compote
This story begins and ends with me eating cake for breakfast so, if you get worried along the way, be safe in the knowledge that everything will be ok. On cheesecake and fat If you are going to eat cheesecake just accept that it should be full fat. You can try to mess with it, go low-fat, but honestly ... why bother? It's cheesecake. I'm not going to get into the pro/con argument over fat, there are plenty of people leading that particular charge just fine on their own, but keep in mind … [Read more...]
Aperol Spritz and Sunset Sessions at Icebergs – Sydney
If overlooking the beach and air-kissing with the beautiful people of Sydney sounds like the perfect way to ease into another week this one's for you.

Strawberry, Cucumber & Coconut Water Slushy
A dose of refreshment on a hot day, a dose of sunshine on a rainy day -- this frosty drink is as appropriate post-yoga as it is post-beach. Another thing I've decided to do as part of my sticking with what works approach is to finally dig out recipes and pics from the past year or so that haven't made it into posts yet. This was shot -- ironically enough almost a year ago to the day -- using stunningly sweet new season berries and coconut water from a young coconut. I froze the fresh … [Read more...]
Chargrilled Broad Beans
I'm kind of stuck right now. Pulled this way and that, feeling as if very few things are actually moving in a forward direction while others zoom right past. I haven't been posting much lately as I can't seem to find anything to write. The recipes come, as do the photos, but then I simply draw a blank. I thought taking a bit of time out would help, reignite the words perhaps, but it hasn't. So instead of waiting or writing rubbish just to fill in spaces I'm going to stick with what works … [Read more...]
Tahini & Raspberry Power Breakfast Shake – a PB&J twist
After taking September off from the Secret Recipe Club while we ate our way across the US, I'm back with a bang and excited to explore all the lovely creations that appear each month. My SRC assignment for October was Baking and Creating with Avril and as usual I was spoilt for choice. I took to her side-bar tags for inspiration and the first thing to catch my eye was a Pumpkin Swirl Bread, however as I've been a bit heavy handed with the pumpkin lately I figured I'd simply bookmark it … [Read more...]
Pumpkin & Coconut Cake Bites – Vegan and Sugar Free
If you're going to bother roasting pumpkin you may as well cut up a few kilos. It only takes a few extra minutes for the cutting, doesn't require any longer in the oven, and means you can make a plethora of pumpkin creations to suit any mood. I'm actually guest posting over at Swah's blog today while she eats her way across America-land so I'll make this brief, but the whole pumpkin I roasted last week made its way first into these cookies then into Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream (with a few … [Read more...]
