MY DARLING LEMON THYME

soothing lemon, honey + rosemary tea recipe

Something’s been trying to get me these past few days. It’s been lurking at the back of my throat threatening to worsen. I had felt like I was managing to keep it at bay by overdosing on vitamin C, Olive leaf extract and Colloidal silver, but this morning I woke up feeling like crap. My nose […]

gluten + dairy-free mexican chocolate almond cookies recipe

So sorry things have been a little quiet around here the past week or so, it’s just I’ve been a tad busy… school holidays, Ada’s 6th birthday party to organise and execute and the general day-to-day chores of motherhood have kept me well and truly busy. I’ve still been cooking lots, as always; there was this radicchio […]

jerk tempeh with coriander (cilantro) sauce recipe

spicy coconut noodle soup recipe

A little bit salty, a little bit spicy, a little bit sour and a little bit sweet. This is my idea of the perfect bowl of soup. Add in some slippery noodles and a tangle of Asian greens and I’m one happy lady. As I’ve mentioned before, soup is not something I cook all that […]

lemon thyme mushrooms on buttered quinoa recipe

The weather this past week has been amazing. Super crisp mornings and blue as blue skies all day long. Because it’s so hot here in Perth for a good portion of the year, it’s easy to forget that it does actually still get cold in late autumn and winter. But I really don’t mind the […]
