Sweet Potato & Avocado Bowl
How is it that salads taste even better served in a bowl? This was a particularly good one that I made last week. Whole bulgur (my favourite grain!), roasted sweet potato wedges, sugar snaps, blueberries, avocado, green baby leaves, honeydew melon and a handful of almonds. I drizzled it with a tahini lemon dressing, and… Read more »

Orange Twisted Braid
Another sweet yeast bread. It’s so relaxing to knead the dough and see it rise. You can find the recipe for the dough in my cinnamon star bread a few posts back. Here I filled it with vegan butter, sugar, lots of orange zest and almond paste. It’s like marzipan, but less sweet, coarser in… Read more »

Fruit Salad
This week, I made a fruit salad instead of a platter. Sliced apples, Navel oranges, pink grapefruit, diced mango and strawberries marinated in a lime, brown sugar, vanilla powder and lime dressing. So simple and fresh! Read more »

Pink Mini Pavlovas
Valentine’s Day coming up in a couple of days. Spare me roses, fancy restaurants and cuddly toys please.

Check out the hashtag on Instagram to see what my friends have created!… Read more »

Strawberry & Grapefruit Smoothie
Second week of the #eatcaptureshare food photography challenge hosted by @thelittleplantation, and the theme is Beverages. First off is something in a glass. This is a smoothie with strawberries, pink grapefruit and honeydew melon. Simple as that! The biggest challenge is one that I’ve set for myself – learn to get off auto-mode on my… Read more »

Blueberry & Maple Rolls
I’m in a baking craze at the moment. Both bread and sweets, and especially sweet yeast breads. I’ve always found it a bit tedious before, it’s taken too long from start to finish. But now I feel exactly the opposite – I love that it takes time! I usually make the dough the night before,… Read more »

Chocolate Dipped Fruit Platter
Let’s indulge a little! I decided to take the kids’ fruit platter up a notch. Clementine and apple wedges dipped in dark chocolate. Kiwi and banana sliced with chocolate drizzle. While the chocolate was still soft I sprinkled the fruit with shredded coconut, chopped peanuts and hundreds and thousands. At last I added a handful… Read more »

Baked Sweet Potato with Granola
My friend @livingwith4fromscratch has such an inspiring feed. She’s also a mum of four, and has children with major food allergies. Has this stopped her from cooking delicious food? No way! And let’s just say we definitely share a love for loaded salad bowls. I wanted to try something new to me, and my eyes… Read more »
