"If you have a dream, you have a responsibility to yourself to make it come true; because if you don't, you're just a dreamer" Marco Pierre White
I just love the way food not only nurtures us from the inside, but brings people together, and can educate us about other cultures and traditions from around the world. I know very little about Jewish customs, but from the very first time I learned of the Monday Morning Cooking Club (MMCC) through the publication of…
I love veggie patties and also love fresh herbs, plenty of herbs! So this is a natural combination of “veggie + herbs” to create a light veggie patty. I have tested this recipe using oats which I know most people would have in their pantry, but I have also made them using my sourdough bread which…
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and I really wanted to get this recipe posted for those that may wish to try it for that celebration. This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and is very easy to make. You will get 20 cookies from this mix, but please take note that the mix is very…

Kale is a polarising ingredient … so many people hesitate using it because they feel it is tough or bitter, but I have come to realise it is mainly because they do not know how to prepare it. I posted a recipe for a kale salad a little while ago where I explained how to…
Pavlovas are such an easy dessert to offer guests … and with summer and the festive season fast approaching, this is the perfect time to play with pavlova recipes. For a long time I have wanted to convert my Pavlova recipe (see here) to one using rosewater, but have never quite felt confident about the…
