Recently I managed to sneak in a little bit of time to make us something new in my kitchen. I’m not sure that I should mention that its actually supposed to have been dinner for the past 3 nights and has only just been created….such is life with a baby in the house unfortunately. I’m…

Donna Hay’s Seed and Date Slice
I’m a massive fan of Donna Hay and have been since the days when she wrote for Marie Claire Living. She has a distinct style and her food is generally straight forward, clean flavours and recipes easy to execute. As time has gone on from the early days her food has shifted to healthier stuff,…
Black and White Rice Pudding
Reading a Donna Hay magazine from a few months ago got my creative juices flowing and inspired me. The theme was black and white. Sounds great, but in actual reality I’m sure it was quite a challenge to food it up without colour… it’s such a big part of delighting the senses. But…
Polenta Crust Tomato Tart
I’ve been eyeing off this recipe in Fresh and Light wondering if I should make it. The photo in the book looks incredibly inviting, but I was worried it might not turn out to look as good. The amazing thing about the recipes in this book is that I’m yet to make one that hasn’t…
The Donna Hay Update
I’m about halfway through this challenge that I set myself back last month and I thought it was time for an update to check in and find out how it’s working out. What have you thought of the recipes you’ve seen so far? I’m going to be completely honest and say that I’ve started to…
Ginger Poached Chicken with Fennel and Apple Slaw
The first thing I must insist on about this recipe is how essential the apple will be to really make the flavour complete. Last minute I thought I’d give this one a go and with no apples thought that a pear might work as a suitable substitute. Unfortunately whilst we had the sweet, it really…
Rosemary Fries
This wasn’t orginally on the list of recipes to attempt from this book but with finals season for the football happening and us both wanting a little treat they seemed like the perfect thing to create, and boy where they yummy! Ridiculously simple there is no excuse really not to give them a try. Rosemary…
Banana and Peanut Butter Smoothies
Smoothies are the flavour of the moment for me at the moment. I was longing for a change of breakfast and then along came my cook book challenge and an impending detox on the horizon. The detox is a whole other story that I won’t go into in this particular post, but suffice it to…
Quinoa Pea Fritters with Zucchini
This recipe intrigued me, and then when I was cooking it I was slightly worried about the flavours. I was concerned it would be a bit bland and tasteless. Most of all I’ve never eaten raw zucchini that I can think of and wasn’t sure that I wanted to start now. I’m happy to say…
