Buckwheat Pancakes with Tamarillo
Buckwheat is a gluten free seed that’s packed with nutrition. I love to incorporate it in our breakfasts, and this simple pancake recipe would have to be one of the easiest ways. Whole buckwheat (referred to as buckwheat groats) is soaked overnight, before being rinsed and blended with a few more ingredients to make pancake […]
Curry Cauliflower Soup
I love making a big batch of soup every weekend and either freezing it in portions or having it for week-day lunches. This curry cauliflower soup will be on repeat this winter in my household! 1 large onion, sliced 1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped 3cm thumb of ginger, finely grated (about 2 tbsp) […]
Opito Bay Sazón Wedges
Optio Bay Salt Co’s sazón is a taste of Mexico and Central America. We love using it on wedges, so the flavour shines through. Serve with a dollop of sour cream. ⅓ cup plain flour 3 tbsp Opito Bay sazón 2 tsp Opito Bay Sea Salt 1kg of scrubbed Agria potatoes, cut into wedges. neutral […]
Frankies Mash and a Decent Steak
When I was a gawky teen with too many sports and art projects on the go, my mum Frankie would knock up this cure all dinner to sort out my stamina woes. Presumably a recipe handed down to her from Scots relatives, it’s a basic concoction of boiled parsnips, carrots and a few spuds all […]
Confit de Canard
I have just returned from a very overdue visit to Europe, taking in France of course, as well as Spain and Portugal. One of my all-time favourite things to eat in France, other than foie gras, is confit de canard, or twice cooked duck. Available here in cans from Vetro Hamilton, and very good too, […]

Satay Roast Cauliflower
I love this satay sauce and often slather it over a whole chicken before roasting, so I knew it would work for cauliflower too. It’s a quick and easy way to make a warming curry-like meal, where you can alter the heat levels to suit by the curry paste you use. This dish is also […]
Apple, Almond + Rosemary Syrup Cake
This is also really lovely made with pears or figs when in season, in place of the apples. Serves 12 1¾ cups ground almonds ½ cup raw caster sugar ½ cup tapioca flour 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder ¼ tsp fine sea salt 2 large free-range eggs ⅓ cup olive oil ¼ cup milk of […]
Chocolate Kūmara Cake
My long time go-to trick for getting moisture into gluten-free cakes (which are notorious for being dry) is to use fruit or vegetable purees. Here sweet orange kūmara puree not only adds moisture but also a little sweetness too, meaning you can get away with only using a tiny amount of sugar. If you like […]
