A grey, grey day at the market this Sunday, cold and drizzly, the sort where you start to think that Melbourne has given up on this whole idea of Spring, and has slunk back into Winter’s darkness. Of course, this…

Recipe: Strawberry Mint Smoothie
Look, I’m not even sure if you need a recipe to make a smoothie, but this one has been on the menu at our place a lot recently, generally in lieu of breakfast, and I’m excited about it, because I’d…
Recipe: Oaty Chocolate Cranberry Biscuits
This recipe is a riff on my favourite choc-chip cookie recipe, with nods to Tessa Kiros’s recipe for choc-chip cranberry cookies and to the cranberry oatmeal cookie mix I get at the markets sometimes. (It works even better if you…

Egg-Free Recipe Index Page now live!
Exciting stuff! At least to me. The vegan page is coming along nicely (since I can, of course, start with the Egg-Free page and then just remove the recipes which contain unreplaceable dairy), but it’s entirely possible that I will…
