• Apple crumble – my favourite Winter (Spring, Summer or Autumn) dessert

  I defy anyone to pass up a hot apple crumble with custard and ice cream on a cold wintery day (and we’ve had a few of those lately in Melbourne – winds straight from Antarctica!!!). This is my favourite apple crumble recipe, which I cook in Summer, Autumn, Spring… and Winter (it’s that good!!!). I…

• Spiced apple crepes

  Wouldn’t you love to wake up to these on your rostered-day-off? I served these up for my husband last week when he was home on a week day. I tried to keep them as healthy as possible – using fruit as the filling, wholemeal flour in the crepes, and natural yoghurt instead of cream/ice-cream as…

• Italian Spiced Figs

  It took a visit from mum for me to realise there was a fig tree in our back garden. I’m not completely ignorant to plants, but our rental has a rather large garden (it got lost behind the gum trees), and I have been pregnant the entire time we had lived in the house, so…

• The perfect gift

  t would be an understatement to say I indulged in some chocolate over Easter. After all, I had some catching up to do! The last festive season (Christmas) I had gestational diabetes, so was deprived of anything naughty (from white bread and soft drinks … to biscuits, cake and of course chocolate). This Easter I…
