Hello, fellow chocolate snobs. Or should I say, true chocolate lovers. This recipe is for you. It’s all about using the best quality raw cacao ingredients that you can find. In Australia, that means Loving Earth – their single origin, fair trade, organic and truly raw cacao products are insanely amazing. Unfortunately I don’t know about [...]
The Culprit: Savoury Muffins Why From Scratch? Hands up if you love baked goods! There’s something so comforting about freshly baked breads, muffins and other grainy treats.

When you think of eating meat, what do you picture? A big glistening [...]
There’s no particular reason that Australians should cultivate such a strong fondness for two particularly brilliantly-hued vegetables. The love affair with the bloody beetroot is fairly obvious: it’s the color of a ruby, it’s got a fantastically sweet and earthy flavor, and it packs a nutritional punch of antioxidants. But as an American, it’s taken [...]
Vintage postcard – less obsession with weight loss in 1915? New Year’s Resolutions: do you make them, or not? If you make them, do you brake them?

While the folks back home in New England are buried under masses of snow, here in Melbourne we’ve had three high-30 degree days in a row. To keep cool and nourished, I’m drinking this: It’s a banana-date-almond frostilicious glass of cold creamy joy. Takes about 1 minute to make, so it’s perfect for a hot [...]
