Hello my lovelies! It’s a lot to take in. I never thought a crisis would come where already being a bit mad would be a competitive advantage. Anxiety, depression and a sense of isolation are not new companions for me. But they may be for you. NZ, and a number of other places are in lockdown. This is going to…

LIFE: Gettin’ Paper
Hello my lovelies! I know it’s been quiet around here for the last few weeks. I’ve started a new job and it always takes a bit of energy to get settled in and my brain has been full. I’m working four days a week so there will be time for recipes again soon. I’ve also begun working on some digital…
LIFE: Course Correction
Hello my lovelies! I know there’s been a bit of radio silence around here lately. I’ve been busy doing a lot of thinking and talking to my loved ones and making some decisions.
LIFE: The Way Forward
Hello my lovelies! It’s been a while since we chatted. 2019 has kicked off with a hiss and a roar. I have a lot of new projects I want to work on. And I’ve been making some changes in my life for the better. There’s a lot going on and I’m still finding my feet with creativity this year. To…
Best of 2018 – Your Favourite Recipes from the Past Year
Hello my lovelies! Happy New Year. As we stare into the void of a new year it’s a good time to look back at the year that was. There were dark moments. But there was a lot of good too. NZ voted ‘kindness’ it’s word of the year. More people than ever before reached out to help in their communities.…
LIFE: I Heart Japan

Especially Kitkats. And pastries. We saw shrines. We shopped. We pedalled a swan-shaped boat around a pond. We took the cleanest, most…
LIFE: Back on Deck
Hello my lovelies! Recipes will be back from next week. I’ve got a collection of awesome stuff up my sleeves to share with you all. It was a good break. I have recovered from my strained jaw. I spent some time at my parents’ making bread and generally lying around. The sun has come out and my plants are getting…
LIFE: Spring Break
Hello my lovelies! I mentioned in my last few posts that I’ve been a bit worn out and that I’ve had a few bits of medical stuff going on. I’ve been in the wars. I have been having a lot of trouble with my teeth and jaw. I have a small operation on my mouth coming up soon. And my…
LIFE: Bake/Off
Hello my lovelies! I know I’ve been a bit busy and posting fewer recipes than I’d like lately but there’s a good reason. Several months ago I was delighted when one of my favourite brands approached me to work together. I’ve been banging on about Westgold butter for a while so working with a brand that I genuinely already like…
LIFE: Tasting the Sourdough Rainbow
Hello my lovelies! I had a fabulous time this week co-hosting a sourdough and craft chocolate tasting with my good friend Luke from the Chocolate Bar. We have collaborated on a few things lately and this was an awesome evening. Apart from a few nerves on the day I hadn’t been anxious or struggling in the lead up which was…
