I absolutely love fudge, and the Thermomix fudge recipe is simply amazing, even though I don’t like white chocolate. With Australia Day coming, I really wanted to have a go at making something Australia themed and it dawned on me that a nice crunchy bit of biscuit in fudge could be very tasty – and …

I’m feeling a little Christmassy and my brain is starting to tick over to all the tasty treats I can make as Christmas gifts. Last year we gave friends coconut ice and chocolate bark, and the adults received salt and sugar scrubs. I’m playing around with different recipes at the moment trying to figure out …

I discovered these hazelnut and chocolate beauties quite by accident. I was trying to make hazelnut flour but left the nuts going in the food processor for too long and ended up with hazelnut butter. I added cocoa powder and coconut oil and came up with a beautiful chocolate spread alternative, which has lasted for …

I love chocolate way more than I should and a lot more than I wish I did. I’m always looking for ways to indulge the craving for cocoa without piling on the sugar, largely because when I do, my kids do and the whole harmony of the home kind of falls apart. This recipe is …

While I use frozen fruit, it’s not a favourite as I don’t always like the consistency once it defrosts. A great way to save fruit for the winter months is by freezing it though, so rather than just saving as is, I’ve made strawberries to freeze in a syrup, so that when they are defrosted, …

I took the children fruit picking and foraging this week and we had a fantastic haul, certainly more than we could eat, so I made beautiful fresh Strawberry and Elderflower jam. In the Thermomix it’s such a simple recipe too – no thermometer required. I love this recipe! Strawberry Elderflower Jam Recipe Print …

These are such lovely crackers. You can vary the flavour to suite your tastes and the dip you’re using. This one as written is exquisite with Wild Garlic Dip. Keep them in the freezer and use as required, or keep them in an airtight container and use in a day or two. You’ll find them …

I started a goods exchange group that runs every few months, where we all make something in bulk and swap what we’ve made with the rest of the group, so if ten people sign up, you walk away with nine different things. This month – Friday, in fact – our theme is ‘Love Your Body’ …

It’s Valentine’s Day next week, and while don’t particularly celebrate – not my choice, I love an occasion! – there’s no reason why I can’t treat myself with something tangy, sweet, smooth and delicious, while staying guilt free. I tested these on a few friends who were surprised when I revealed the lime. It’s not …
