Chocolate fudge slice They don’t come much easier or more delicious than this! It’s my take on a charming old-school classic, with the gloriousness of sweetened condensed milk enveloping crushed-up bikkies, it’s a very moreish treat indeed. The Craisins add a delightful tart chewiness to every bite, and the chocolate […]

Hot Cross Buns
Hot Cross Buns It’s taken me a while to perfect a hot cross bun recipe – and boy, it was worth the wait! They’re not at all hard to make but like all good bread recipes, they take a little time. To get the buns super light and soft, you […]
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. Poaching the chicken in the coconut milk and aromatics first really does add to the flavour, and it’s worth the little extra time rather than just using a cooked […]
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 […]

Chelsea’s famous kumara and bacon salad
Chelsea’s famous kumara & bacon salad This recipe is from the salad section in 2017’s bestselling cookbook in NZ, Scrumptious. Seriously, you have to make it. Technically it’s not quite famous at the time I write this – but I know it will be! It’s a salad like no other, […]
Saucy chocolate pudding
Saucy chocolate pudding This is a glorious pudding, a rather indulgent version of an old classic. I’ve used a whole block of dark chocolate and a luxurious amount of butter, so you can imagine how delicious it is (and easy, too!). You’ll end up with a decadent, spongy putting sitting […]
Easy teriyaki chicken
Easy teriyaki chicken Say goodbye to jars and packets of processed chicken teriyaki marinade, because from now you’re making your own! This is my home-cook-friendly recipe and it’s a cracker. I reckon skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs are the best for this recipe (or equally as good is the maryland, which […]
Sneaky rissoles with potato & leek smash
Recipe from Homemade Happiness – NZ’s bestselling cookbook of 2015! 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 […]
Salted caramel & cashew slice
Salted caramel & cashew slice This caramel slice is not for the faint-hearted – it’s for those of us who appreciate the sweet, luscious, hedonistic things in life! There’s a gorgeously thick layer of gooey caramel in the middle, to which the flakes of sea salt are the perfect foil. […]
