Un-Christmas cake with toffee nut crunch

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 […]

Peppermint slice

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

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 […]

Chicken liver pâté with fruit glaze

Chicken liver pâté with fruit glaze It’s so easy to make your own paté – and so very delicious! The ultimate addition to any cheeseboard or platter (perfect on Huntley & Palmers Baked Flatbreads range) – it’s creamy and rich, with the tartness of the fruit glaze cutting through beatifully. […]

Creamy spinach, feta & roasted garlic dip

Creamy spinach, feta & roasted garlic dip This is a real cracker of a recipe (cringeworthy pun intended). Quick to whip up, uses a whole bag of spinach and sing with rich roasted garlic flavour – and a little cream cheese and feta for good measure! Ingredients 2 whole bulbs […]

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 […]

Peanutty marshmallow squares

Peanutty marshmallow squares Another recipe from my cookbook, Everyday Delicious! Making marshmallow is fun – you do need to use an electric beater to get enough air in to make it light and fluffy, though. The peanut base of this slice is so tasty, it could almost be a slice […]

Sticky pork ribs

Sticky pork ribs This is a recipe from my second cookbook, Everyday Delicious! Ribs are probably something not a lot of people make at home, which is a shame as they’re so easy. People will be rather impressed when you serve up a mountain of delicious sticky ribs with tender […]

Gluten, nut & dairy free chocolate cake

Gluten, nut* and dairy free Chocolate Cake Since posting my gluten-free Chocolate Mud Cake, I’ve had a great number of lovely people asking about adjustments to make it nut and/or dairy free. So rather than just awkwardly try and jam in replacements, I set about creating a whole new recipe. […]

Gluten free chocolate mud cake

Gluten-free chocolate mud cake Just because you’re gluten-free doesn’t mean you should miss out on life’s most delicious treats. I just won’t have it! This amazing mudcake is fudgey, silky and gloriously rich (it uses a whole block of real chocolate – a very good start). It’s perfect eaten just […]
