Raw asparagus salad

It’s been an Ice Age between blog posts, I know. Sorry about that. It’s not that I don’t love you anymore. It’s just that I recently tied the knot and I’ve been busy on honeymoon with my new hubby. It was a whirlwind trip that took us as far and as wide as Singapore, Thailand, [...]

Gluten-free choc chip cookies

What’s your favourite childhood sweet treat? Choc chip cookies top my list. My Mum, sister and I used to bake them all the time. In fact, my sister can be credited as the original choc chip cookie baker in our family as she tried to replicate the recipe from Mrs Fields Cookies and get them [...]

Gluten-free hot cross buns

One of my biggest hankerings since going gluten-free is for Hot Cross Buns. My annual ritual of eating them every day of the week used to start in January straight after the Christmas decorations had been packed away. I was a marketer’s dream. I even branched out into chocolate buns for a while there before [...]

There are two types of people in this world – those who love grocery shopping and those who don’t. I love to cook and eat, but my fortnightly supermarket excursion is a constant source of dread. Frankly, wheeling a trolley around a supermarket in a dazed stupor is simply not my idea of fun. In [...]

Has the cult of celebrity ever struck you as weird? The way masses of seemingly sane people can go hysterical in the presence of a rock star, actor or reality TV star? Or how women can go weak at the knees at the mere sight of their idol. Think Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Lady Gaga, [...]

Almond, hazelnut and apple cake

Guess what? Thirty six sleeps ’til I tie the knot. In a last-minute ditch to get in shape for the big day, future hubby and I have given up booze for the month of February. Thankfully it’s a short month. Mind you, neither of us are missing a tipple as much as we thought. In [...]

Brioche

If I had a dollar for every time I went to a cafe and complained about the lack of gluten-free options, well, I wouldn’t be rich, but I’d probably have about $50. Since going gluten-free, I don’t go out for breakfast nearly as much as I used to. Once upon a time, eating out was one [...]
