I really love mince tarts or pies – I’m not 100% sure which is which really, but whatever you call them, these are delicious, possibly the best I have ever had. I like a chunky fruit mince, so I keep the apple and pear at a larger dice, feel free to keep the apple and...

Have you seen those super cute unicorn cakes making the rounds of the internet?
They are super "on trend" (something I am not). But when Lady A turned 4 and wanted a rainbow princess unicorn birthday party, I though that these unicorn cakes looked pretty simple to knock...

I did make that cake happen (you can check it out here) and this is the cake recipe I used.

A celebration without cake is just a meeting.
I know you might be thinking that I’m a kill-joy by taking away all the gluten, dairy, grains and refined sugar from a celebration treat like a birthday cake, but believe me, it’s not a treat when you’re eating your weight...

Lady A and I have been making Terese Cutters Red Velvet Cupcakes for a few weeks now. I love the earthiness beetroot adds to a chocolate cake, plus it's yet another great way of getting vegetables into my toddler.
We have been tweeking and playing with the recipe unti...

Rainy days are for baking. These little cookies are so soft and a little fudgy, it would be hard to stop at just one, but because of all the good fats from the nuts and oils, they are super filling.
Great on their own or smeared with nut butter or dunked into a glass...

I've always been curious about pumpkin pie, you see it on all those American Thanksgiving movies. I had never actually had the humble pumpkin sweet until I went to a friend place for dinner. She served up her version, a simple affair in a ramekin. And I was hooked.
