Peanut butter – some (most) people love it. And if you’re one of them – you will love this recipe. This recipe is actually an old favourite of mine – I reinvented it the other day when my sister and I were craving a clean treat. I can’t tell you how many times I have made this recipe. There has been numerous times when my best friend has come…

Who knew apple and berries would be such a delicious combination? Definitely not me. On Saturday (aka my baking day) I had so many different ideas of what to bake and couldn’t decide so I left it up to my mum… after all, it was Mother’s Day the next day. She went through decade-old magazine cut-outs of sweet (sugary) treats and picked one she wanted me to make clean….

Winter is upon us, which means chilly nights snuggled in front of the fire with something to warm your tummy, is not too far away. Unfortunately, my body feels the cold right away, so when Melbourne autumn settles there’s one thing I crave in particular; chocolate. And not just chocolate, but warm, gooey, decadent chocolate. These Clean Warm Chocolate Puddings are perfect for cold nights and chilly mornings (who said…

A decadent combination, this Clean Raspberry + Dark Choc Cake is rich, sweet and sultry (reow). Maybe not quite sultry – I did though make it for a special occasion – my sister’s Hens night. Safe to say, through the blurry-eyed women enjoying the celebrations, the cake was a hit. But it was the next day that I (by myself) truly inhaled the cake until it was totally gone. The…

I was craving something sweet but I couldn’t put my finger on it… something chocolatey… but different to what I normally make. I have two favourite people who give me true criticisms of my recipes; my dad and brother. These guys don’t muck around – they eat kit kats, cadburys – you name it. If they want to eat my treats – then I have created something worth putting on…

It’s no secret that I love Nutella.

Years and years ago, I once worked for a bakery who made the most delicious strawberry sponge cakes (all sponge cakes to be exact). It was the standard cake at all of my family’s birthdays – not only for its light and fluffy texture – but also for the lovely presentation that could never go wrong. The pink icing against the natural sponge filled with cream – what’s not to…

Cake pops seem to be the new craze – and I can see why. A small, appropriate serving of cake (if you stop at one, that is) deliciously decorated with an array of colourful and creative ingredients. There’s nothing not to love about these tiny pops of cake. Lamington cake is one of my favourites, and when I was creating this recipe I came up with the idea to drizzle…

It’s that time of year where everyone around you is embarking on a journey to Europe. My time was two years ago and one of my favourite memories was ordering Nutella Crepes after a very long night out in Mykonos in the local village. Walking on the white cobbled stones through the town full of excited youths at 7am to find an ice cream shop serving crepes wasn’t a difficult…

OK, I know I always say this but seriously, everyone needs to get out their blender and make this Nutella NOW! I have tried countless recipes from numerous sources for a clean Nutella and always find myself disappointed. I’ve also experimented with my own Nutella recipes and they’ve also been unsuccessful, but this… THIS is Nutella. Trust me. I had almost given up on this creation as it took months…
