No Bake Chocolate Fudge Squares (dairy free!)

chill n’ eat – what could be simpler?

Some people use rainy days to catch up on housework, call their loved ones, do some filing or simply read a book.

Pomegranate & Vanilla Parfait

dairy avoiders could easily substitute the yoghurt for coconut yoghurt

Things everyone on the internet has an opinion about: vaccines, Kim Kardashian’s butt, cats versus dogs and the best way to de-seed a pomegranate.

Fennel & Parsley Stuffed Butternut Squash

it’s possible I got a little too enthusiastic with the parsley garnish

Wow, squash season came around quickly, eh?!

Balsamic Sweet Potato Salad with Toasted Walnuts

I ate it for lunch three days straight – it keeps well in the fridge

Sweet potato is my drug.

Walnut Pesto Stuffed Chicken

I’m having a bit of a basil moment. It even went in my last batch of mayo

Butterflying chicken always makes me feel like some sort of sadistic poultry tormentor.

Popcorn Chocolate Freezer Cake

the perfect treat for when the weather’s so hot your clothes melt off your back

It’s summer. It’s too freakin’ hot to bake and therefore the only type of cakes I’m making at the moment are freezer cakes.

Smoked Mackerel Superfood Salad

who says salads have to be boring?!

I’m calling this a ‘superfood’ salad because there’s just so much good stuff in there.

Parsnip & Walnut Cake

fun fact: parsnips are sweeter after the first frost

Mondays are hard. This is why I like to usher them in with a healthy dose of cake.

Nutty Snowballs

much more delicious than actual snowballs

If you are in a place that’s currently getting snow, I both envy and pity you.

Pear & Cranberry Crumble

I didn’t eat it all myself, honest

Pretty much every cook, no matter how inexperienced, has a crumble in their recipe book.
