Orange Almond Cake When I think of orange and almond cake my mind instantly takes me to a place of complete relaxation. I imagine I’m drinking a cup of herbal tea in a beautiful fine china mug, sitting by a window somewhere overlooking the mountains. As I take a mouthful of moist orange cake and
Recipes/Blog All of my family members go crazy for anything sweet and berry. They say it’s a perfect combination. To be honest, I’m a chocolate and peanut butter girl, through and through, but I must say, I did enjoy this cake. I love using granola as the base to my raw cheesecakes. Depending on the
Recipes/Blog As a kid, I have such fond memories of watching my favourite TV show of an evening whilst devouring half a packet (ok, maybe a whole packet –shh!) of Arnott’s Mint Slice. OMG, they were just the best. I’ve tried the gluten free version and they’re okay, but still not as whole foods as I’d like. But how
Recipes/Blog This dessert combines my two loves, chocolate, and coffee. Seriously what more could you ask for? It’s the perfect combination of two of life’s simple pleasures.

Recipes/Blog I’m a total fan of any kind of cookie that is covered in chocolate, but when I created my own, wholefoods cookie, that is better than any store bought biscuit, then I’m one happy lady! I’ve been working on a few biscuits lately that are not loaded with butter and sugar. For all my

Recipes/Blog Lime and coconut really are a match made in heaven. I’ve fallen in love with raw vegan desserts as I feel they are the healthiest version of a sugary treat, and I love that there are real, whole ingredients in them. This slice is a family favourite. It looks absolutely beautiful and it’s not
Recipes/Blog I’ve always loved making cakes, but more the traditional way with eggs and butter. As a plant-based eater, I’ve now made many cakes without eggs and butter, and they are good, but not always great. Unless it’s a banana cake! So, when I heard that beetroot worked well to keep the cake super moist,
Recipes/Blog I confess – I’m a chocolate addict. Anyone with me here? I eat it every day. I love dark chocolate the most and I love it combined with nuts, nut butter, coconut oil, goji berries, anything really! I grew up a Nutella kid! I mean didn’t we all? The creamy, smooth, chocolate nutty spread
