Coconut Milk Icecream

Kale-fornication
Green is the new black. If you’ve ever sculled a glass of super refreshing, ice-cold green juice you would have to agree, no?!

Bobba’s Shak Shouka
I’ve always preferred the casual approach of no-measure-taste-as-you-go cooking.

Ask anyone who knows me what my idea of a perfect holiday is, and my answer is the same… verbatim… everytime: “Stick me under a palm tree for 2 weeks with a Pina Colada in my hand and I am happy!” Our honeymoon was 10 days in an unbelievably romantic loveshack perched on a hillside … Read more

Cacao 101 (and my life without chocolate)
So the title’s a bit misleading, I’m definitely NOT planning to spend the rest of my life without cacao. I am planning, however, to go without for 21 days… 3 weeks… o.0575% of this year… Why on earth would anybody who is so obsessed with that gorgeous l’il bean wanna go without it, for 3 … Read more
Raw Sexy Sesame Dip
This recipe was an accident – not unlike when Sir Alexander Flemming discovered the anti-bacterial properties of penicillin, birthing antibiotics as we know them today.
