bites + brews
Lemon and lavender are two distinct flavours and when you add them together you get a winner like Lemon Lavender Scones. Though I may be biased because I am a bit of a scone girl. And a lavender girl … but if you do not like lavender you can either omit it or use another edible flower for a pretty effect.

Dairy free brownies are super easy, super delicious and super chewy/fudgy/delicious. I saw the original recipe by Ramona’s Cuisine and just knew I could easily make her recipe into a dairy free brownie recipe. I have made these brownies twice now and they are seriously addictive. Rich in flavour, sweet but not over powering and the perfect amount of bite from the walnuts is what sold me on this dairy free brownies recipe.

Chräbeli is one of those Christmas cookies that you either love or hate. And I love them because they are dairy free Christmas cookies plus the taste of the roasted Anis seed is amazing in here. Here is the recipe from the Swiss version of Betty Crocker, Betty Bossi. In the dairy free Christmas cookies series I will be sharing four of my favourites: Matrosenkäppli, Chräbeli, Mailänderli and Basler Brunsli. If you are not Swiss do not fret because I will write the recipes in English and link you to the original recipe if it can be found. All, except for the Mailänderli, are already dairy free Christmas cookies.

Pumpkin, squash and fresh picked apples all evoke the flavours of my favourite season, autumn. In addition to that list I would also like to add roasted chestnuts. Did you know that chestnuts, unlike other nuts, are primarily composed of carbohydrates. Other tree nuts and seeds are higher in calories, protein and fat.

I had originally received this recipe from an old family friend and it has become my go to. It is so moist, delicious and full of flavour without being overpoweringly sweet. This recipe contains wholesome ingredients like carrots, hazelnuts, cinnamon, lemon and ginger to bring you a delicious carrot cake.
The only change I made to this recipe was to use brown sugar (not that she specifies which sugar should be used) as well as reducing the amount slightly and using gluten free flour in place of regular flour.
So, without further ado, let’s get into it.

Dutch style pancakes for the win … especially when someone else is making them. Do you have a favourite pancake recipe or do you prefer crepes or fluffy American style pancakes? Read on below for the dairy free option to Dutch style pancakes. Slightly thicker than crepes but not as fluffy as the American pancakes I love these as they can filled and then rolled up. Enjoy!

Admittedly this lemon and matcha cake has a bit of a 70s vibe going on with that swirl of olive green and light brown yellow but darn is it good. This recipe is an updated version of a cake you would serve for Kaffee und Kuchen back home. This cake would pair best with tea time especially if you have green or white teas or a variation on the two. Herbal infusions are also welcome to join the party.
You will also notice that the “base” of this cake is very similar to the chocolate cake from the day before. This is what I meant when I wrote that this cake recipe is super easy to alter and have fun with.

This is amazingly rich, delicious AND healthy. It is not your average banana bread with one measly banana and a cup of oil. No, this is banana goodness at its fullest. Bananas are a great source of fibre and so many minerals, vitamins and nutrients. Eat them raw as a snack (prepackaged at its best!) or use them in smoothies or, in this case, a lovely and rich banana bread. So go ahead and enjoy a rich indulgence without the guilt.

Dinner inspiration part 1: I got a 400g piece of organic salmon, a bunch of bok choy and quinoa and got myself started. This is great for portioning out or serving more than one.
I got my salmon from Organic Foods & Cafe which have 20% off on produce every third weekend of the month. This is a brilliant, and cost effective, way to load up on essentials like quinoa, pasta, lentils, flax seed and apparently salmon. They have a really good selection of organic produce, dry goods, meats, baby products and even cosmetics and hygiene products.
