This is one of my favourite dough recipes. It’s pliable and, once baked, is beautifully soft inside.

Ginger Cake with Brown Butter Frosting

If you haven’t tasted brown butter frosting, this recipe is about to change your life. Thanks to the Maillard reaction, your browned butter will impart a nutty, toasty, deep flavour to your frosting that is beautifully offset by the rich and spiced cake. Something a bit different for next time you need to serve a crowd.

Oat Crepes with Coconut Yoghurt & Mixed Berries

Oat Crepes with Coconut Yoghurt & Mixed Berries

These delicious crepes are perfect for
a weekend breakfast or healthy dessert. Oats are a great source of resistant starch. This is a type of fermentable prebiotic fibre that provides fuel for the good bacteria in the gut and ensures the health and integrity of the gut lining. Berries, particularly dark berries like blackberries and blueberries, are an excellent source of anthocyanins. This potent antioxidant enhances immune function and can reduce inflammation and premature skin ageing.

Gluten-Free Apple, Rhubarb & Strawberry Pie

Select organic fruits if they are available as all three of these fruits retain high levels of pesticides when grown conventionally. If there is no time or inclination to make the pastry, a premade store-bought pastry will work fine.

Orange & Apricot Soufra

I feel like this is what would be served to me in heaven. There’s something so incredibly decadent about the combination of pastry and custard that I find irresistible.

Lemon & Honey Mini Filo Cheesecakes

These are such a tasty and fuss-free dessert. To make prep even easier, make the filo pastry cases in advance, then all you need to do is fill with the cheesecake filling when guests arrive. The cheesecake is naturally sweetened with honey, which pairs perfectly with the tang of the lemon and the crunch of pistachios.

Spinach & Ricotta Filo Pie

Filo-Wrapped Feta

Filo-Wrapped Feta

Although small in size, these filo-wrapped feta parcels punch above their weight in flavour and richness. Perfect served as an appetiser or with a salad as a light meal, the combination of salty, soft, warm cheese and the sweet stickiness of the honey is next level.

Thai Black Rice Salad

Black rice is a fantastic alternative to white rice. It has a chewy, nutty texture and is a great source of anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant. You’ll be able to buy black rice from most supermarkets or health food stores.
