Kids In The Kitchen

Last week we decided to make some sweet treats; peanut butter & chocolate cups. They’re absolutely delicious and very moreish. I’m sure the kids ate more peanut butter & chocolate while they were making them! This is something the kids can pretty much do by themselves, apart from melting the chocolate as they can’t reach…

Peanut Butter Cookies

These peanut butter, date & oat cookies are so delicious and ‘oat’ so easy to make. We love desserts, but there’s something special about a cookie with only 3 ingredients! I don’t use any packet mixes for any of my baking; only organic whole food ingredients. You can whip these up in 20 minutes, including…

Breakfast with the opposition

I was honored to provide the catering for Paula Bennett’s visit to Inglewood yesterday. If you don’t know who she is, she’s the deputy leader of the NZ National Party. They’re currently the opposition to our Labour/coalition government. It was a wonderful experience, not least because the event was hosted in a shop/event venue called…

Crispy Hashbrowns

Potatoes are one of my favourite vegetables. They so versatile, but also very filling and contain vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin A, fibre, potassium, magnesium and folate (vitamin B9]. We love hashbrowns, especially the crunchy bits on the outside. They go with anything and you can eat them anytime! In my quest to cook them…

Crispy Oven Baked Tofu

Tofu; you either love it or hate it! We love it, but it hasn’t always been that way. We first tried it in an Asian style soup and it was simply cubed and dropped into the broth for a few minutes before it was served. It really didn’t taste of anything, and the texture was…

Smoothie Bowls

I only started making smoothie bowls a few months ago. I would see so many elaborate and stunningly beautiful pictures of them on Instagram and think ‘I don’t have time for that’. I was so in awe of those amazing photos, I thought I’d give them a go. I spend around 10 minutes making them,…

I’ve been making this salad for a few years now and it never fails to please. Its filling, nourishing, colorful and delicious! You can have it as a side or a main and your friends will be mighty impressed when you turn up for the pot luck with this. Using seasonal veggies, you can mix…

Peanut butter caramel slice

I’ll keep this brief as I know you just want the recipe! A few things to remember. * it is plant based so there is no added oil, no dairy, no refined sugar and no refined flours * it won’t taste exactly like the one filled with the above ingredients; it’s better! The recipe makes…

Potato curry roll

We had spent the morning at the farmers market and museum with all the kids. We’d had a big breakfast, so didn’t need any morning tea but on the drive home I was dreaming of samosas. I just love the mix of spicy potatoes and peas, but I don’t love the deep fried pastry. By…
