Vanilla Bean and Mango Pavlova with Macadamia

This week I’m sharing my recipe for the perfect dessert this festive season – easy and delicious individual vanilla bean and mango pavlovas with macadamias. They are so simple to put together and, in this recipe, I’ll show you my method for only using two ingredients, egg whites and sugar, to make the best meringue.

The Cheat's Way to Entertain this Festive Season

I feel like we saw the first glimpses of Summer this week, which is super exciting for those of us in Melbourne. This year so far has basically been like Game of Thrones and Melbourne has been at ‘The Wall’ the entire time freezing their butts off in the blistering cold, while every other state has enjoyed the offerings of all the other seasons!

Marbled Chocolate Gingerbread

I'm kicking off my season of Christmas cooking with these delicious marbled gingerbread cookies! I went to Williams-Sonoma on the weekend as a treat (there's only one store in Melbourne!) and couldn't help myself when I saw a big Christmas tree adorned with copper cookie cutters! I chose a set of gingerbread men, all different sizes perfect for any occasion, a Christmas tree and a beautiful ornate star. I also picked up a box of Peppermint Bark because I couldn't help myself! It's too delicious and only comes around once a year! 

Cinnamon & Walnut Cake

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and I for one cannot wait! It's my favourite time of year. Lots of cooking, and getting together with friends. Plus Michael Buble's Christmas album and 'Love Actually'. And decorating. There's literally nothing I don't LOVE about the festive season.

Baked Pumpkin With Stuffing

It's the second day of Summer but this morning felt like a big throwback to winter again. One day I'm sure I'll live in a city that doesn't have multiple personalities..ahem Melbourne I'm looking at you. 'Four seasons in a day' the saying goes about my home city and it couldn't be truer!

Plum Pudding Bliss Balls

The arrival of december means the beginning of all things Christmas! I've got the tree up and decorated, the stockings are hanging from the mantle, the fairy lights are twinkling and now I'm getting busy in the kitchen making some healthy Christmas treats!

Pumpkin, Coconut & Peanut Butter Soup

As many of you who follow me on instagram know, I have been working on something so special for what seems like AGES now! I wanted you to be the first to know that I have spent the better part of the year trying, testing, photographing, and building my FIRST EVER recipe ebook! And what's better?
