Delicious Rhubarb Butterscotch Cake

August 3, 2016

I have been trying to escape the chocolate layer cake for some time. I wanted to experiment with seasonal produce for something a little more interesting than a dense, brown sticky tower of cake. I found this recipe in one of my favourite cookbooks, Ripe Recipes by Angela Redfern. It was for a four later masterpiece of messy, rustic glory. Seeing as rhubarb is in season at the moment I knew this would be the cake for us!

Delicious Spring Vegetable Pearl Barley Salad

October 31, 2015

All the ingredients in this are super in season right now so you would be silly not to make the most of them. This also blows an awful potato salad right out of the water if brought to a pre-season barbecue. Just saying.

Raw Energy Salad

June 15, 2015

I am not a very superstitious person. I am always the first to open umbrellas inside or to bring bananas onto a boat. There is one thing I am somewhat inclined to believe in though and that's Karma. You get from the Universe what you put out into the Universe. Good things happen to good people and the like. Pay it forward etc etc. I would say I believe this 90% of the time.

This morning was that futile 10% where I just didn't know what to believe anymore.

Christmas Bakewell Slice

December 23, 2014

I thought if I waited much longer to post this recipe it would quickly become irrelevant - after all who eats Christmas fruit mince after Christmas? The answer is everyone should! Fruit mince goes super on special after Christmas! ALL the slice! ALL the time!

Feijoa Upside-down Cake

May 3, 2014

I was tying to think of some deep and meaningful to say in this post but when I got down to the crux of it I realised I only made this cake because I am somewhat obsessed and had nothing else to do on this Saturday morning. The other girls on the flat had their significant others to distract them but not me, I had cake.

Apologies for the crap photos but I’d like to share the recipe for this family favourite. I’ve written about Dad’s favourite veggie casserole over on TheSupperClubKitchen.com under recipes worth sharing. It’s 90s nostalgia at
