Thailand has some of the most incredible food in the world. I recently traveled there with my father and had many heavenly culinary experiences. One of the more notable delicacies was – and I know it sounds strange – ‘mushroom salad’. We were visiting Hua Hin and, in typical…
I’ve probably said it before, but isn’t there something spectacularly dreamy about pistachios? Picture it: a queen or king, reclining on a silk-lined throne, popping each jade morsel into their mouth while date-palm fronds fan them from either side . . . Putting aside my life goals, let’s get down…
I’ve finally made it. A homemade version of my favourite Asian drink! Before you start your happy dance (because, yes, I admit that is exactly what I did), check your local Asian grocery stores. In New Zealand I couldn’t find bubble-tea-worthy tapioca pearls. You want the specific ones for making this drink…
My first post from England. I feel a little guilty for having been so absent these last few months, but I’ve been playing around with this recipe for a while and finally found a version I want to share. Coconut butter is virtually the same as creamed coconut – the…
Thank you once again to my lovely sister, Tess, for your fabulous photography. I know you love pistachios almost as much as you love our late-night Netflix sprees (which featured plenty of ice cream cheesecake this time, I must say). Can we all agree there’s something undeniably alluring about pistachios?…
I passed Starbucks the other day and was inspired by their gorgeous frappés. I can never, quite get over their exorbitant prices, however, nor the amount of sugar they load inside. Do I even want to know how much? Not really. Now I have my own version, I can be…
Thanks, Tess, for the fabulous photos. Best sister (imho). Now, you’re likely wondering what on earth I’ve done with the burger bun. My answer: oopsie bread! That probably didn”t answer anything for you, because low-carb substitutions are obscure, varied, and sometimes just downright weird. I mean, who comes up with…
You must think I’m mad. The thought of low-carb ‘corn’ chips may seem absurd, but I can assure you these are every bit as crispy and satisfying as the real thing. Of course, because you’re basically eating pure cheese here, I really do recommend balancing everything with a salad. Avocado,…
Bliss balls are, well, blissful. But there are ways to make them heavenly. Start with a centre of silky peanut butter fudge. Wrap around a layer of chewy, nutty filling. Smother in chocolate. I don’t tend to sweeten my bliss balls very much, especially when making them low-carb. Just taste each…
There’s really nothing cheesy at all about this unbaked dessert. As for the rest of its name – you get what you see. Blueberries. Coconut. Peanut butter. There are really only these three ingredients (though I will admit the coconut comes in three forms!), minus stevia and vanilla for flavour…
