    Licorice syrup

    written by jane

    I realise that this post will probably be quite divisive as you either love it or you don’t right? But did you know that licorice is thought to help with coughs and colds? So perhaps even if you aren’t an adamant licorice lover, this recipe might be worth a try! The…

    Cinnamon raisin peanut butter

    May 25, 2017

    I was browsing a lovely grocery store back in NZ, on Waiheke Island, when I was home recently and came across so many delicious products to buy, but then decided that I should recreate them at home instead! Sorry grocer! But hey, the luxuries budget is a little tight at the…

    Okay, okay, I know I haven’t posted in many a moon and I’m not sure when I will be back on a regular basis yet but hey, I’m here now so that’s good right? Last month I did my annual trip to Sydney Produce Markets to join the crazy hustle bustle…

    Sweet pumpkin and zucchini loaf

    April 5, 2016

    Is this the month of brown food on the blog?! Sorry about that but I seem to have been doing a lot of bronzed baking recently. It’s all still jam-packed with flavour and nutrition though! This super moist vege-based bread is perfect for little and big kids alike. It makes a great…

    Crunchy flax and chia seed crackers

    March 15, 2016

    These crunchy, superfood-packed crackers are just awesome because they use up all that flax seed that comes in the giant packets. Have you ever noticed that? Why do they come in such big bags?! You generally use a very small amount in a recipe and then have all these seeds…

    Date, tahini and dijon dressing

    March 1, 2016

    This creamy vegan dressing can do double duty as a zingy mayo if you add a little less soaking liquid so it’s a big win in my books! It’s tangy, sweet and savoury all at the same time which is how I like my dressings. Plus there is only 1 tablespoon…

    DIY ring cones

    February 25, 2016

    I love love love how simple this tutorial is, yet super practical! It was inspired by these fancy ceramic Anthropologie ring cones, but instead of shelling out $38 you can now make them at home with a few supplies from the craft store, for a fraction of the cost. As always,…

    Carnation chair garland

    February 2, 2016

    How sweet is this carnation garland?! It would be perfect for a garden bridal tea or to signify the bride and groom chairs at the wedding. You could also make longer chains and hang them down the wall as a photo backdrop. For my full tutorial hop on over to Polka Dot…

    Caraway, date and tomato relish

    January 7, 2016

    Remember my sweet green chilli sauce recently? Well when I was at the markets I also bought a huge box of tomatoes ($8 for 10 kgs, can you believe it?!) and this yummy relish came about. The dates add a little sweetness but don’t overtake the tomato and then there…

    Homemade bacon syrup

    January 5, 2016

    Yip you read that correctly, bacon syrup!!!!! Oh my goodness this stuff is a sugary, smokey, sticky condiment that tastes just like bacon. Pour it liberally over pancakes, french toast, ice cream or cakes. And use the leftover candied bacon in baking (oooohhhh bacon brownies anyone?), in salads or on…
