Recipe: Lemon & Coconut Balls

In case you hadn’t already noticed, I love everything lemon and coconut, and the pairing of these two flavours always goes down a treat. These lemon & coconut balls are a bit of a dream: super easy to make and super healthy, the tricky thing is making them last. They can be frozen, so they…

Feijoa cake with lemon icing

Feijoa cake tends to go down alright, and when it’s that time of year, I’m always looking for something different to make with the excess of feijoas. This cake is pretty easy, and tastes delicious! Collect 125 g butter 3/4 c white sugar 2 eggs 1.5 c mashed feijoa pulp 1 t baking soda 2…

Recipe: Lemon and Coconut Muffins

I love clean eats. There is something extremely satisfying about making (and eating) something that is wholesome and nutritious, yet doesn’t taste like you’ve taken too many shortcuts. These lemon and coconut muffins are exactly that. They are the opposite to dense and they are so ridiculously filling – which I think can be attributed…

Recipe: Lemon and Coconut Cups

These delicious little gems are the best ‘cleaneats’ treat I’ve made to date. The lemon cream is just so tangy and refreshing, and the tarts as a whole are surprisingly filling. They are also pretty easy to make, especially as no oven is required. Also, the turmeric gives them a bright yellow colour, which could…

Recipe: Pea, Pancetta and Lemon Risotto

By golly, this recipe is a delight. Growing up, I have had the two extremes of risotto – the extremely cheap, salty, budget packet stuff that no doubt everyone has experienced whilst at university, as well as fancy risottos that get served in restaurants with the perfect texture and amazing accompaniments such as pancetta. Well,…

Recipe: Lemon Curd

Lemon curd is literally my favourite food. I used to think it was chocolate (wise choices, I know) but I’ve recently realised that given the choice of chocolate or lemon curd, I opt for lemon curd every single time. And with the surplus of lemons that have recently occupied the fruit bowl, I’ve had the…

Recipe: White Chocolate Mousse with Lemon Curd

What better way to use up lemons than to make lemon curd? I swear I could eat this stuff by the spoonful, it is just so good! After going home on the weekend, as per usual I came home with a massive supply of lemons. I love trying different recipes using lemon, as it is…

Recipe: Iced Lemon Parfait

One of those deliciously ice-cream like recipes, but without the need for an ice-cream maker. It kills me when I see all these mouth-watering recipes for ice-cream that require an ice-cream maker halfway down the page. This one is super easy – just mix the ingredients and chuck them all into the freezer. It is…

Recipe: Lemon Meringue Pie

The only thing that trumps chocolate for me (when it comes to sweet things anyway) is a classic lemon meringue pie. And finally, I’ve nailed it. My favourite part is the lemon curd (obviously) but it’s also important to get the meringue component right so that together with the pastry, the flavours and textures can compliment each…

Odettes Eatery

Odettes Eatery (Shed 5, City Works Depot) Party of the wonder that is City Works Depot, I had heard many a good thing about Odettes before I found an excuse to get here. You know a place is good when I eat there for breakfast, and then suggest it as a venue for dinner for…
