Coconut Fruit Cookies
I’ve been dabbling regularly in the world of vegan and raw cooking, even though I am neither of these. I eat meat (because I have to) and I like soups and stews too much to ever consider giving up cooked food. That said, the people from these two schools of eating are the most wonderfully […]
Christmas Perfection: Almond Macaroons
I’m having a dietary crisis. It’s been a long standing suspicion that I cannot eat wheat; one that began when my mother had inclinations twenty years ago. I’ve paid attention to this on and off, but have always felt better without grains. She also had me drinking almond milk that she was making herself with […]
Christmas Perfection: Gingerbread Dinosaurs
I’d never made gingerbread before these dinosaur cookies. My Christmas baking adventures usually involve uberlicious amounts of chocolate, cream and the rolling of hundreds of cocoa coated truffles. That’s where my expertise lies. So when Andrew wanted gingerbread, I looked at him quizzically and question whether he’d ever made it before. Of course not, but […]
Kristy’s Modern ANZACS
ANZACs are a quick and easy reminder of baking with Nanny in the school holidays. Superbly “Australian” I love how the texture reminds me of growing up, unlike those crumbly, shortbread-like British “cookies”. Stirring butter with golden syrup is just so much easier for the convicts than this semi-soft butter and beating with icing sugar […]
Earl Grey Tea Cookies
Inspired by the baking exploits of a Brisvegan friend of mine, and a plethora of Persian Earl Gray tea leaves lingering in the cupboard, I went on explorations for a great tea cookie recipe. Soft, shortbready and crumbly, these delightful little sugar bombs melt in your mouth but don’t wilter in your tea when you […]
Oaty Tahini Cookies

Grease cookie sheets or line […]
Some things I’m looking forward to
I’m going to be brutally honest here; I’ve got a nine-week school break coming up, and I really would love to spend it somewhere totally alien. It would be awesome. Spin the hypothetical travel bottle and plonk myself in a random country, scope it out, then wait for Andrew to join me. Cool huh? That […]
