Spanish flavours. Winter in Sydney has been a bit of a mixed bag. Some days it’s been really warm with 23 degrees celsius during the day. Other days it’s been 16 degrees. Regardless, the evenings have been cold. Soup is always a go-to for dinner – hearty and warm. The Spanish smoky flavours of this…

Easy Orange Cake
A whole orange. Not a typo! Oranges are plentiful, sweet and delicious at the moment. We’ve been buying them to chop up and eat at weekend sports games the girls are involved in. However, I wanted to try this easy orange cake where you literally use the whole orange. Yes, the WHOLE orange! It is…
Homemade Mayonnaise
Let’s talk mayonnaise. Such a versatile condiment, isn’t it. We use mayonnaise as a dressing on leafy salads, in sandwiches, in potato or egg salads, in fish patties. Honestly, the list goes on. Up to now, I’ve been a bit scared to make homemade mayonnaise. Now that I’ve tried it, it’s super simple and not…

Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas
Snack alternative to peanuts. I don’t know about you but drinking anything alcoholic gives me the munchies. I crave a snack of some kind with a glass of wine or cider. Reaching for nuts all the time is problematic – they’re full of fat and calories you don’t necessarily want! Chips or potato crisps (depending…
Cannellini Bean Dip
Just a simple can of beans. This recipe is also known as White Bean Dip. However, I prefer to use a more literal name for this recipe. This Cannellini Bean Dip recipe uses a tin of cannellini beans as the star of this recipe. You honestly can’t get easier than this! Plus it’s creamy, delicious…
