Nutrition loaded recipes, using in season and wholefood ingredients.
Almond & Ricotta Cake
OH MY WORD….if you’re looking for gooey stodge then this could be it. No regrets! because almonds contain lots of healthy fats, fibre, protein, magnesium, and vitamin E.
Pecan Pumpkin Pie
If you’ve got an autumn gathering coming up, this Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Praline & Chantilly Cream is definitely the pudding to make or take. Pumpkin is a good source of fibre!
Chocolate Orange & Cardamom Cake
Please try this because it’s crazy good! I’m not exaggerating to say this is one of best cake recipes I’ve ever tasted. Gently spiced with cardamom, which aids digestion and balances blood sugar.
Peanut Butter & Pecan Ice Cream
Taking snippets from a few different recipes I crafted this peanut butter ice cream with cinnamon candied pecans with someone in mind. It was gone in minutes…
Nut Butter Filled Dates
Time for tea! with these nut butter filled dates enrobed in dark chocolate. As sweet treats go dates are not all bad. They contain a fair amount of fibre, antoxidants and some helpful vitamins.
Loganberry Ripple Gelato
This loganberry ripple gelato is both sweet, creamy and sour at the same time. Made with Loganberries grown by my neighbour (a hybrid soft fruit of raspberries and blackberries).
Japanese Cheesecake
I’m not going to claim any great nutritional benefit to this fluffy Japanese cheesecake other than as food for the soul! But I did work hard to adapt recipes to keep this as light as possible.
Fig & Ricotta Cake
This truly delicious autumn cake is full of sticky fresh figs and creamy ricotta. It’s a very sophisticated slice of stodge that could be served equally at a dinner gathering as wrapped in a paper bag for your next autumn 🍂 walk.
Blackberry Compote
Why reach for the cereal box when you can make something that tastes like it came from heaven in 15 minutes? Blackberries offer many health benefits. They're full of vitamins and minerals like C, K, and manganese, high in fibre.
Lime & Coconut Gelato
Here it is, my first ever homemade gelato! It’s delicious yet low fat. I started out looking at many recipes and methods for making ice cream, gelato and frozen yoghurt. I’m sure I will try many variations through the summer, including those made with beans - maybe!
Orange & Walnut Truffles
Make these date & walnut chocolate orange balls as a healthy snack. Perfect with an afternoon herbal cuppa.
