Orange & cranberry scones with sticky cranberry jam These light, fluffy scones are amazingly quick and easy to make using a minimum of utensils – and blimey, they are beautiful!

Crazy Italian chocolate cake (egg free chocolate cake) The amazing egg-free chocolate cake that’s also dairy-free and takes under 10 minutes. This incredible cake defies belief. It’s based on a recipe I was served up by an Italian family for my birthday dinner when I was in Tuscany – I […]
Chelsea’s Creamy Chicken Pie Since making a grand entrance in my first cookbook, At My Table, in 2013, my Creamy Chicken Pie has become quite the superstar! I’ve lost track of how many messages, emails and Facebook posts I’ve received from people telling me how much they love the […]
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 […]
Hotcakes A weekend breakfast doesn’t get much more fabulous than this! I’ve always had a fascination with lovely thick American hotcakes – they seemed like such a novelty to a Kiwi lass like me who previously only had the thin crepey ones. The thing is, some of them can be […]
Sticky date puddings & lush caramel sauce This recipe (from my first cookbook At My Table) is the ultimate in dessert indulgence and just so perfect for a chilly night in. Soft, sweet, buttery pudding enrobed in a gorgeous caramelly sauce – it’s pudding done properly! And I think it […]

Chelsea’s Pavlova This recipe is from my second cookbook, Everyday Delicious. Don’t be afraid of making a pav – they’re pretty easy if you understand a few simple things about them. And please don’t freak out and think you’ve had a fail if yours doesn’t look perfect – there’s no […]
Un-Christmas Cake with toffee nut crunch I’ve gotta level with you – I’m not a huge fan of ‘traditional’ Christmas cake. This is my ‘Chelsified’ version – it uses everyday ingredients and it’s pretty damned good. It has a heap of grated beetroot & carrot in it to make it […]
Chelsea’s peppermint slice (with fresh mint) This isn’t your average boring old bakery-style peppermint slice — this bad boy has a whole bag of fresh mint in it. A rich, soft chocolatey base, fresh vibrant mint filling and dark chocolate icing. Amazing. And near impossible to resist when it’s sitting […]
Glorious sausage quiche with caramelised onions This sausage quiche recipe is from my column in Woman’s Day NZ – far too good not to share with you all! I am an absolute quiche fiend (it’s one of my favourite things). I’ve ramped it up a notch here by making a […]
