Chelsea’s Lockdown Loaf
This beer bread recipe is sooo easy and so delicious, and only requires a few pantry staples. Since we’re all in lockdown here in NZ, I’ve coined the term ‘Lockdown Loaf’ – and it really is perfect in that sense. Stir the beer bread it up in one bowl – […]
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 […]
Coconut-poached Thai chicken noodle salad
Coconut-poached Thai chicken noodle salad This recipe is from my fourth cookbook, Scrumptious. It’s a really lovely fresh, tasty, healthy salad.

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 […]

Sneaky rissoles with potato & leek smash

Sneaky rissoles with potato & leek smash I call these ‘sneaky’ rissoles because although there are veges hidden within them (and served alongside), no one will care or notice because it’s all so very delicious. Even the beetroot haters won’t […]

White chocolate and cranberry slice
White chocolate & cranberry slice This slice (featured in my new book, Scrumptious) tastes even better than it looks – and in my humble opinion, it looks freakin’ amazing! Don’t be fooled into thinking this is one of those Christmassy larks full of glace cherries and candied peel – I […]
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 […]
