Twisted Candy Cane Sugar Cookies

These candy cane sugar cookies are so very easy! And you don't need special cutters, or lots of time to make them. We made them last year when my mom was visiting, and they were really fun for kids (and adults) of all ages. You could even add a bit of mint flavour to ...

Blackberry Cream Cheese Puffed Pastry

The smell of cinnamon, blackberries, and pastry puffing away in the oven is the perfect way to wake up even the groggiest kid (or parent) after a long week. We had a dozen in the oven, and six people around the table, and they didn't last past one sitting, but I am sure they would ...

Michael's homemade granola recipe

One of the first things we noticed when we moved to Australia is how expensive the food here is, especially good, organic food. And one of the things that really stood out to us was the price of granola (especially when you're buying for a family of seven)! I guess it was something we took ...

3 great dairy free icing / frosting recipes

Are you in urgent need of an easy, tried-and-tested dairy-free icing / frosting recipe? Have you tried one before and it curdled, or separated once it was on the cake, sliding down the side, in wet, disappointing drizzles? These three recipes are for you...maybe even all in one cake ;) I have complete confidence in ...

Sweet potato hummus + a few other ideas for a busy week!

I have an ongoing list of things I don't buy and opt to make from scratch for the purposes of health, food waste, and to save money. Things like granola, stock, sauce, salad dressing, and baked goods most often are made using things we already have on hand. Hummus this past year, in various forms, ...

3 Healthier Ways to Decorate Birthday Cakes

I have a two-year-old, and she has a keen nose for sugar...being that I constantly smell of the stuff, that is unavoidable! However, I try to be a tiny little bit creative when decorating cakes for her birthday, using edible decorations that are attractive, interesting taste-wise, but that aren't full of refined sugar, and I ...

Harissa and Chickpea Tagine -- a fantastic plant-based family dinner

This vegetable tagine makes the most fantastic, flavoursome midweek family meal, especially if, like many people, you are aiming to eat a little more plant-based or meat-free. It takes 5 minutes to put together and then sits in the oven for a little under an hour cooking into this deliciousness! I personally have a big soft ...

Bee’s fruity protein “cake” balls, delicious and easy to make at home!

My 2-year-old girl is really into those great, snack-sized fruit and nut protein bars and balls. You know the ones that are full of nuts, fruits and natural ingredients? But invariably wrapped in single-use, non-biodegradable plastic? And factory made? If you, like me, are trying to reduce the amount of plastic I use, here is ...

Seasonal yoghurt fruit cake -- quick to make and utterly delicious!

When we were in France this summer we stopped over at Emilie's summer house for a quick stay, which is something we like to do every other summer (she tries to visit us in our summer house the alternating year). Our time together is always primarily focused on cooking great food and eating it -- ...

Salade Nicoise

This summer I have decided that I am going to try and learn a new recipe each day. The luxury of being able to muck around in the kitchen testing stuff is one of my true guilty holiday pleasures. In truth, I get into a bit of a rut during our everyday school/work/activities/homework life -- ...

RECIPES

Bee’s vegan peanut butter and jam cookies -- delish and full of protein!

These crunchy, cute-looking little nut butter cookies are great (read easy) ones to bake with a small person, and the dough can easily be frozen, meaning that you are only ever about 20 minutes away from a warm, protein-packed sweet treat. The peanut butter I've used can be replaced by any other seed (try sunflower ...

Family friendly Chicken Teriyaki, yum!

Every time I make this family friendly chicken teriyaki I am amazed at how delicious it is when there are only 4 ingredients involved! It's a great way to introduce children to asian flavours and they love to get involved and mix everything together. The marinade itself is fantastic with beef, salmon or tofu so ...

Bee’s easy peasy one-bowl vegan vanilla sponge cake

This pesky vegan vanilla sponge cake recipe has taken me seven(!) attempts to perfect - I have been searching for the holy grail of ‘free-from’ baking for such a long time! The Victorian sponge cake recipes I’d settled for in the meantime, were temperamental, unreliable and ultimately, stress-inducing, and that’s not good enough. This vegan ...

Summer recipes! Easy and delicious, and perfect for hot days.

Summer has finally arrived here in Amsterdam, and it's come with a BANG. We had the hottest 25th of June yesterday -- at least, since temperatures have first been recorded! With warm temperatures like these, I'm craving salads and grilled veggies for dinner. Yesterday, I cooked some brown rice and once it was cooled down ...

Poke bowls -- my kids love them! And so do we :)

Are your children sushi lovers like ours? Tamar and I always say it's so funny, to have children who love sushi so much. I mean, I never had sushi as a child -- in fact, I can vividly recall the first time I ate sushi. I was 23 and studying in London in the late ...

The Simplest Poached Chicken

Poaching a whole chicken sounds quite a laborious and time-consuming thing but it's actually one of the most straightforward and hands-off processes and, for some reason, feels particularly rewarding and holistic. I often poach mine early on weekend mornings and shred it ready to use in salads and sandwiches over the next few days or ...
