Oh So Pretty Figs cut in half look so pretty when placed into a open Tart. The season for Figs is so short here in New Zealand, if you are lucky enough to have a Tree, I envy you. This season I found Figs in our local Supermarket selling for around $2-$3 each. Which made […]
For those Chocolate Lovers This Gluten Free Chocolate and Walnut Brownie is really yum. Eat as a Dessert or have with a cup of Coffee or a lovely strong cup of Tea in the afternoon. We ate ours for Dessert, warmed slightly then served with a dollop of Greek Yoghurt. Give as a Gift to […]
A Loaf is always so handy This Gluten Free Pear and Walnut Loaf is really delicious and moist. Pears are in season right now, grab some fresh from the Trees or your local Supermarket will have plenty on the shelves. Slice and spread with your favourite topping or do what we do, heat a little […]

They look amazing when sliced and with the combination of Seeds and Nuts the texture is crunchy. I make them […]
Another Tasty Gluten Free Quiche This Salmon and Spinach Quiche is so simple, economical and easy to make. Use Smoked Salmon if you wish, this giving the Quiche a more savoury flavour. If you don’t like Fish from a Tin, buy from your Supermarket Fresh Salmon. I would buy a Salmon Tail for this purpose […]
This Asparagus and Zucchini Tart has a Base with a difference. I was emptying a Bag of Ground LSA (Linseed, Sunflower, Almond) into a Jar while thinking, I wonder if this would be suitable for a Tart Base instead of Pastry. I’ve come across similar ideas while reading Books where Bread has been used or […]
I think Cheese Cake is one of the most desired Desserts in the World. I have a favourite Cheese Cake Recipe that I have served to my Family for years.
