Honey, Coconut and Lemon Muffins (gluten free)

by Dani

I’m going through one of my frenzies of cleaning out the fridge and pantry. Every now and again I seem to get a build up of obscure ingredients and just before Christmas when I’m trying to save money is a great time to use them all up. Not only does it tidy up the cupboards […]

Super easy dessert. Crumble.

by Dani

The Bread Winner is a dessert lover. Which is unfortunate for him because I am not much of a dessert maker. Not something I grew up with so not something that often occurs to me to make. On the bright side, he does love a crumble and they are super quick and easy to make. […]

Fig Tart

by Dani

En route to Son and Heir’s school, we ride past a fence with an overhanging fig tree. Surely we all know by now how much I love figs. It is possible, that enough time has been factored into our morning ride to raid the half of the tree overhanging public space. As well as gracing […]

How many variations can we have on a Thai beef salad?

by Dani

I’m fairly sure mine is different every time I make it. It’s the most wonderful meal in a bowl. The dressing for tonight’s version was inspired by Jane Lawson’s Tossed’. The love affair continues. As the Bread Winner waltzed out the door tonight he threw a final comment at me, “W’s coming over tonight”. The […]

Cheese meets chocolate. A friendship is formed.

by Dani

Sometimes, an odd scrap of leftovers leads me in an unusual direction. Today was one of those days. It all began with 6 sheets of leftover spring roll wrapper.

The almost forgotten apple pie

by Dani

Father’s Day didn’t start so well here at Chez KP. First problem, was of course the absence of the Bread WInner. second problem was Son and Heir destroying my knitting at 5.30am. Which I didn’t discover until 6.30 when I decided to start yelling at the Ankle Biters whilst in the same room as them, […]

Deliciously decandent: berry sourdough pancakes

by Dani

Conjunctivitis has confined us to quarters. I lost my tiny little mind last night and threatened the Ankle Biters with mutilation politely asked the Ankle Biters to clean up their mess. It’s too wet to garden. All in all we’re having a slow and lazy Sunday morning. Which is nice. We’ve been on a pancake […]

When Mr Meat and Three Veg visits

by Dani

When Bob was handing out taste buds and palates and the like, my Dad was curiously absent. Which makes dinner challenging when he comes to visit. It’s a question of balance. Something that Dad will eat and something that won’t make the rest of us actually die of palate induced ennui. That’s a real disease, […]
