ANGEL MUNRO

This is a very popular recipe from Gourmet Traveller that was published many moons ago (I know I’ve been making it for about 15/16 years). Its such an easy recipe to make, I had to re-share. I usually have something sweet in the fridge for the family during the week & this recipe is a nice and easy for midweek baking. I’ve adapted the recipe slightly. Apart from some extra spices, I’ve specified organic panela sugar & raw sugar in this recipe, the original recipe had brown su

With my long stint of both of my children (they are 11 years apart in age) going through Steiner Education, my most treasured memory is of the seasonal festivals & my favourite of those has always been the Winter Solstice celebrations, a beautiful tradition that embraces the magic and beauty of the shortest day & longest night of the year. Some of the activities from those celebration we have continued as a tradition at home. We always celebrate the winter solstice with a fir

This delicious recipe is so quick and easy, you can make it in one saucepan & it hits that chocolate craving, while being a little healthier. The tamari gives the brownies a lovely slightly salty & rich complexity. These brownies are adapted from Hetty McKinnon’s recipe for Flourless Soy Sauce Brownies. I love her recipe and have made it a few times. The main reason I decided to adapt her recipe that uses chocolate & cocoa is that the organic chocolate that I usually buy isn’

I swim with friends a couple of times a week & we have a ritual of having a coffee after & sometimes a cookie like these ones at a local cafe. They are so incredibly good, we spent months trying to work out what was in them, these ones come very close, luckily for us as the cafe stopped selling them. These cookies are vegan, gluten free & refined sugar free; they are easy to make, good for an easy breakfast or snack any time of day. They contain good fats, protein, fibre, sl

Plums are in season and plentiful at the moment. This recipe is a delicious & easy way to use up your plums, the rosemary pairs beautifully with the plum. Alternatively, you can use fresh thyme, it goes equally well with plums. You can also skip the butter & add splash of apple juice. You can keep them in the fridge for up to five days. Eat them with, yogurt, ice cream, with muesli, chia pudding or on top of porridge. Plums are an excellent source of fibre & vitamin C as well

This cake is adapted from a recipe by Kate Berry that was on https://hellolunchlady.com.au/ back in 2016. I’ve been making variations of it ever since then, often for kid’s birthdays, sometimes doubling the recipe & often filling it with fresh cream & berries. It’s easy to make & has always been a hit. The icing in this recipe is the most vibrant pink, coloured naturally with raspberries & rose powder. I love the addition of rose powder to this recipe, it really adds a high l

I love cake, well made European style cakes. However, I try to restrict refined foods to the weekend. This gluten free cake, adapted from Amy Chaplin’s recipe, is a good midweek cake sans the cake guilt. This hazelnut & berry cardamom cake is full of good things, is gluten free & refined sugar free. Maple syrup is a great sweetener, containing minerals zinc & manganese. Zinc is essential for immune function, skin health & reproductive health. Manganese is a cofactor for super
