These are my favourite savoury muffins! The best thing is that they are so easy to make but they taste and look like they could come from a café. This gourmet snack has some of my favourite ingredients in the recipe (sun-dried tomatoes, pesto and cheese) so it is no wonder that I love these mouthfuls of deliciousness. Great for a meal on the run or morning tea.
Two blog posts in a row for salmon… You must be thinking I am obsessed, but this was way too delicious not to post straight away. This noodle salad is a healthy summer dish full of crunchy vegetables. It is a great mid week meal when you’re feeling lazy and you’ve got no time to cook. The only cooking involved is of the noodles which takes around 4 minutes. All you need to do is […]

For a Summery meal you could serve the salmon topped with steamed, slivered asparagus and accompanied by a salad. Stir-fried asian greens […]

Succulent slow cooked pork, fresh coriander and mint, a sprinkle of peanuts, […]
This is my all time favourite slice. I’ve loved it since high school. Back then I would regularly purchase a piece from the tuck shop if I could rake together enough coinage. Who knows why it is called magic slice, but there is no denying that it is simply delicious. The only problem when you bake it is that you want to devour it all.

The chips taste so good, you would never guess that they are baked not fried. Thank you Donna Hay for the recipe and Laura for the inspiration.

When I went to Auckland a month or two ago I had the most amazing breakfast at Dear Jervois (click her to see the deliciousness). The balsamic mushrooms were so freaking good that I had to try find a way to recreate this dish at home ASAP. Hannah and I invited some friends over for brunch to celebrate the long weekend – I know Labour weekend was a while ago, but hey I have been […]
