roasted cherry tomato pasta salad with Kalamata olive dressing recipe

Since moving house, we’ve had two large boxes of picked tomatoes hanging around waiting for me to do something with them.

dairy-free strawberry, vanilla & coconut ice cream recipe

Back when I used to work in Sydney, one of my main jobs in the pastry section was making ice cream. I loved it. Playing with all that sugar, milk, cream and eggs was so much fun.

vegan green papaya salad recipe

If I could eat just one salad for the rest of my life, it would be green papaya salad hands down. It’s a crush that started many years ago when I first moved to Australia as a keen and somewhat naive teenager. Up until then I had never even heard of eating papaya (paw paw) green. […]
