How to make a peppermint paleo slice
At the time of writing this post early 2014, I was becoming more and more intrigued by the Paleo way of life so I experimented with grain-free snacks and came up with this treat. It needs refrigerating in the warmer weather, which we're loving here in Byron this summer. Substitute the nuts, dried fruit and seeds for whatever you have in your pantry and just use more vanilla or maybe lemon essence or zest if you have no peppermint oil. This is the ultimate raw treat – no cooking required. Love to … [Read more...] about How to make a peppermint paleo slice

Pavlova
Australia Day strikes a bittersweet note on our calendar signalling the end of long summer holidays and heralding the return to work and school. Many Aussies honour the landing of white man onto this great southern land while others prefer to label it Invasion Day, not to mention the New Zealand versus Australia for the ownership of the glorious pavlova! No matter which side of the ditch you reckon this classic comes from, it’s a national dish here in Oz and one that is so easy to make. It’s a … [Read more...] about Pavlova

Festive cheery cherry, berry and almond tart
This stunning tart was inspired by the Christmas edition (Dec. 2010) of Australian Gourmet Traveller and we made it very late on Xmas night - when we clearly did not need anymore food! It was an absolute triumph and quite easy to bake, just a little time consuming. I changed the recipe slightly to make it gluten free and suit what I had on hand, however all due respect must go to the source - and cherry sauce! Cherry-vanilla jam 300 gm  cherries, pitted 220 gm (1 cup)  caster sugar Juice … [Read more...] about Festive cheery cherry, berry and almond tart
