Fruit salad
October 22nd, 2009
Exquisitely simple, yet so good. Don’t let anyone lead you to believe that the vessel you eat of does not make a difference to taste. I love putting something like this together in a cocktail glass for Dan – it makes that after dinner snack that little bit more special – who would have thought [...]
Wholegrain blueberry & apple pancakes
October 22nd, 2009
The perfect way to start a weekend – I adapted our favourite banana pancakes recipe, this time sweetening the mixture with the grated apple. No added sugar, but it really doesn’t need it – round it off with piles of fresh fruit and some fat free, sugar free natural yoghurt. After that, all you need [...]
Pear chocolate fudge cake
August 5th, 2009
You’ll really thank yourself for making this one! This is my favourite low GI recipe so far. Do NOT tell your guests it is healthy, or you will find like I did that they hover around it, turn up their noses, feel slightly uncertain, and eventually try it, and then won’t believe you anyway! You’ll [...]
Red adzuki bean, pear & almond slice

Inspired to try new beans, and after eating a delicious red bean and pork meal prepared by a friend Sandra, I decided to buy some red adzuki beans and experiment. Here is the first result! I browsed online for recipes for red bean cakes, and found this delightful blog called sugarlens, with a recipe for [...]
Hearty Apple and Pear Porridge (Oatmeal)
July 1st, 2009
Inspiration for this delicious breakfast meal came from our all time favourite bakery: “Knead Bakers” in Hawthorn, Melbourne, Australia, who make a delicious porridge with maple syrup. If you are ever in the vicinity, you MUST go there. Not only do they make the most delicious organic sourdough bread, but their brunch menu is superb. They [...]
Pea, pear, basil and mint garden salad
June 29th, 2009
Take advantage of the crisp pears available in Australia in early winter, bursting with freshness and not overly sweet to create this fresh tasty salad. It makes a wonderful side with “Herb-stuffed roasted lamb with garlic confit”, or with a sprinkle of a few roasted almonds or pecans and some thinly sliced multigrain sourdough bread [...]
Sourdough toast with ricotta and pear
June 26th, 2009
Choose a wholewheat sourdough such as morpeth wholewheat and sesame stocked at Harris Farm stores and slice very thinly. The nutty sesame taste contrasts beautifully with the soft cheese and pear. Supermarket bought light ricotta is never as delicious as that you’ve purchased at your local delicatessen. var linkwithin_site_id = 38044; (function () { var [...]
