Dairy free

Little hot cross cakes

Welcome to your gluten, dairy, egg, yeast & baking powder-free Easter baking feast! How can they still be so scrumptious without all that, you may ask? Well, they just are, trust your old pal Chelsea here. They’re also EXTREMELY quick and easy to make, and super addictive (so speedy you […]

10 SECOND AÏOLI

This recipe was meant to come out in my new book later this year but I decided to gift it to you all early because, well, things have gone a bit to sh*t. It could actually be my favourite recipe of all time; the holy grail of all things garlicky […]

Flourless oaty banana loaf

Here’s another banger to get you through lockdown, and the best thing about this one is you don’t need flour; you can just whizz up some rolled oats and Bob’s your aunt! It’s a dense, filling sweet loaf just perfect with a big smear of butter or coconut oil. And […]

Persimmon gelato

  Persimmon gelato This easy, super-delicious and totally vegan gelato (slash ice cream, slash sorbet) is the simplest of desserts – sweet, subtle and dreamy. Lovely eaten by itself, or served with a bowl of hot fruit crumble or pie. There’s no need to add any sugar because ripe persimmons […]

Thai pumpkin soup

Creamy roasted Thai pumpkin soup I love the simplicity of this soup – bung everything in the oven to roast, then zap it all up into a smooth, creamy, aromatic soup. The flavours are lovely and adds a little freshness to your winter soup lineup. If you need this to […]

Dairy-free/gluten free cheesecake

Gluten-free chocolate cheesecake (Original version from Everyday Delicious) Gluten free cheesecake I’m happy to say that this is as scrumptious as any cheesecake I’ve made. It’s rich (which is why the creamy layer isn’t too thick) so don’t go nuts on the slice sizes. The filling uses good old Whittaker’s […]

Crunchy maple baked kumara chips

Crunchy maple baked kumara chips I can honestly say that vegetables don’t come much more delicious than this. These oven-baked kumara chips are sticky, sweet, salty, crunchy and soft all that the same time, and everybody goes ga-ga over them. Kumara (a NZ variety of sweet potato which I consider […]

Creamy coconut & apple porridge

Creamy coconut & apple porridge (vegan) This is one hell of a delish breakfast. It’s vegan and packed with goodies like bran and apple for fibre, LSA for good oils, and chia seeds. You might be wondering why I’ve used coconut cream as well as coconut milk – the coconut […]

Oma’s pea and ham soup

Oma’s Pea and Ham Soup This recipe has always been sort-of famous; but only among my nearest and dearest. However, since I published it in my first cookbook ‘At My Table’, it’s become well-loved by home cooks everywhere. It’s based on my oma’s recipe which has been passed down through […]

Romesco dip

Romesco dip Romesco is of Spanish origin, and I reckon it could be one of the tastiest little numbers around (perfect on Huntley & Palmers Baked Flatbreads range). Beautiful rich summery flavours of tomato, capsicum, and toasted hazelnuts & almonds. This recipe makes more than you need, which is a […]

Rocky Road

Berry delicious rocky road Here’s another delicious treat from my second book, Everyday Delicious. I’ve adapted this recipe to make it plant-based – vegan lollies and marshmallow don’t contain gelatine. You can adjust the fillings to suit what you like, what you have on hand and what you’re allowed to […]
