This tart is such a delight, you can make it with regular chard or silverbeet but it just won’t look as pretty. And it sure is pretty thanks to the contrast with the white ricotta and colourful rainbow chard stems.
Strawberry, Lemon and Basil Friands
So these don’t look like friands because I’m an uncommitted baker and don’t owne the moulds. But guess what? you don’t need them to make these delicious treats, they work just as well in lined muffin tins.
Fluffy Hot Cross Bun Pikelets
It’s that time of the year again… Hot Cross Bun time! These fluffy pikelets have the flavours and aroma of hot cross buns… minus the orange peel and dried fruit because I decided to go the chocolate chip route instead.

This recipe is insanely quick and easy to make and just as appropriate for brunch as it is for dessert. The secret to these perfect, flaky cinnamon scented roti is the best kitchen appliance I’ve tried in a long time. It’s an actual AI enabled robot in your kitchen. For real, I’ve had a robot called the Rotimatic cooking with me and it’s my new favourite kitchen appliance.

Sometimes breakfast is an all day meal. Sometimes pizza is an all day meal. Sometimes breakfast is pizza. Sometime my logical is impeccable.

7 Christmas Party Worthy Desserts That Are Also Good For You
I totally get that Christmas is a time of indulgence for all of us and I am by no means suggesting you overhaul your whole Christmas tradition and make it a ‘healthy’ Christmas because Christmas isn’t unhealthy, it’s a time to celebrate with your loved ones and share traditions, gifts and food. It’s not a time to be worrying about calories. Then again I don’t think any day is a day to worry about calories! That said, you can include a few things that are a little lighter to mix things up, lighter but still super delicious and this little collection ticks those boxes big time. From gluten free, to dairy free, to just wholesome there’s something for everyone,
Crispy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies (Gluten Free)
It’s December so you know what that means: Christmas baking! I like to mix it up with old favourites and healthier takes on old favourites. These crispy gingerbread cookies have a hint of chocolate, lots of spice and are low in both fat and sugar in comparison to a regular cookie. They’re also gluten free if you’re into that sort of thing;)
Chocolate, Coconut and Zucchini Cupcakes With Tahini Caramel Glaze
Oh yeah. These are happening. They’re like a a coconut rough cupcake but with green vegetables in them. Yesss please. Don’t freak out about the vegetable content, it’s there to give texture and zucchini is so mild and slightly sweet so it’s a totally fine thing to put in your baked goods. No more zany than carrot cake. So if you can get around carrot cake, you can get around these.
