I haven’t got round to much cooking or baking (or anything, for that matter) this week. I’m one of the many people this time of year fighting off a cold so it’s been mainly toast and hot toddies for me! But I didn’t want to miss out on making a pie for this week’s Great…

Rum Hot Toddy
Yes, more rum. I had a tiny bit left, just enough for one drink… and since I have a cold, I decided to make it a warm one. I am convinced hot toddies are the best cold remedy. The rum is to numb, the syrup to soothe, the lemon for vitamin C and the cinnamon and…
Rum & Raisin Ice Cream {Vegan}
I know I said I was looking forward to Autumn cooking from now on and ice cream doesn’t really fit into that imagery. But I love making ice cream any time of year… It’s perfect served with warm winter desserts and pies, plus you can use Autumn flavours to make seasonal ice creams (eg, my…
Beer & Black Pepper Grissini

I’ve used ground almonds instead of flour, ripe bananas in place of a sweetener, chia seeds in place of eggs and superfood cacao powder for flavour and an extra health boost. However, as delicious as these cookies are, they…
Raw Hibiscus & Goji Berry Chocolates
I was inspired to make these after receiving a beautiful book, Cooking with Flowers by Miche Bacher, as a gift from my supercool friend Maribel. It immediately became one of my favourite cookbooks. Beautiful photos, delicious sounding recipes and creative ideas, I LOVE it!!
Lychee, Coconut & Lime Popsicles
I originally planned on this being an ice cream recipe but after getting new popsicle molds, I was eager to use them instead! The exotic taste of these pops make you wish you were relaxing on a hammock on some tropical island… The coconut and lychee’s soft, sweet flavours are awaken by the sharp, zestiness…
Raw Cake Pops!
How do you feel about delicious and adorable cake pops that are actually good for you?? These cake pops are very nutritious as they are packed with superfoods and contain no nasty ingredients. Some raw cake recipes I’ve seen resemble more of an energy bar texture, they look great and taste delicious but they’re not…
