Sweet, crispy and slightly chewy Vanilla Crisps are an old family favourite ... going back to my childhood. These have been modified from my Mum’s original recipe to make them gluten free. Mix these vanilla cookies up at any time for a quick, sweet snack that is ready in a speedy, half hour. No thinking … Continue reading Vanilla Crisps
Zucchini Patties – GF
I grew up saying courgettes, but these days it seems to be zucchini. I guess it depends where on the globe you live. Either way they are the most versatile veggie in my garden. Pick your zucchini when they are a medium size. The bigger, older ones have too much moisture content and not enough … Continue reading Zucchini Patties – GF
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie – GF
Pick your rhubarb stalks or buy them fresh. Remove the leaves, rinse and slice ... easy as pie! There have been about four versions of this pie in the past month, because it’s so good!

Stephanie’s Sourdough Crackers

If you prefer them a little more sweet you could add some chocolate icing to the tops of them. I prefer them less sweet and with the combination of the chocolate … Continue reading Chocolate Date Cookies GF
Jalapeño Cheese Biscuits (GF)
These savoury bites of pickled jalapeños, cheese and bacon are so addicting. Anything that resembles a cheesy scone or biscuit ... I just love for a snack on their own or with a good bowl of soup. They are definitely a little spicy but that combines well with the cheese. No one would guess that … Continue reading Jalapeño Cheese Biscuits (GF)
Lemon Cheesecake (GF)
Childhood birthday memories. We always had a choice for a birthday meal the whole time I was growing up. For dessert I usually chose this lemon cheesecake for my Mum to make.

Dave’s Potato Gnocchi (GF)
This recipe is one of my favourites. The flavours are so so good and I could just keep eating it! This is such an easy dish to make, especially if you cook the potatoes the day before. The thin layer of browned butter, with crispy sage leaves just tops it off. I went outside the … Continue reading Dave’s Potato Gnocchi (GF)
Gluten Free Carrot Cake
This carrot cake has been an ongoing recipe for a while now. Lately I’ve made it with my own flour blend from fresh milled flour, in my grain mill. And also with Anita’s gluten free all purpose flour ... both were equally good. This cake is dense and full of flavour and each forkful gets … Continue reading Gluten Free Carrot Cake
