We had a fancy afternoon tea on the weekend. I whipped up this amazing lemon and berry strudel, using my awesome culinary skills, in no time flat. Ok fine, I confess, unless you call defrosting a sheet of puff pastry and turning on the oven skill, I didn’t use any culinary skills at all to […]
Family Food – Fruit Sponge Dessert.
Desert or Dessert?
No matter how many little rhymes or tricks I read about I never seem to be able to remember which is which! But who cares how you spell it, as long as it tastes good right?
At the Pickle Farm we like a special treat every now and then, and one of our favourite treats is an easy fruit sponge dessert (I think that’s right?).
Apple and Cinnamon Baked Pancake
So I have this great giant baked berry pancake of awesomeness recipe that really and truly is awesome. My kids bug me to make it all the time, but it involves egg whites, whipping them to be exact, and sadly, my total-cheapskate-only-costs-me-five-buck-second-hand electric mixers broke. They broke! I’m still in shock. I thought these ancient […]
Honey and Banana Muffins
What do you do with a bunch of bored, starving, children on a wet and miserable Friday afternoon? Stick a giant piece of paper to the table and instruct them to fill it with drawings while you bake muffins, that’s what you do. Even my big kids can’t resist the lure of a big sheet […]

Kids Can Cook – Basic Vanilla Cake
My twelve year old has made this basic vanilla cake four times in the past three weeks. Man, it is so good when your kids are old enough to cook something, from scratch, without any help, and clean up after themselves. This is a really basic cake recipe, and it’s very forgiving. If you don’t […]
Kids Can Cook – Pita Chips
I first shared this super simple recipe way back in 2010, and it’s been one of my most popular recipes ever since, so it’s time for an update. I’m pretty sure I know why it’s so popular, it’s a combination of two things – they are delicious, and they are the perfect thing for little […]
Simple Yoghurt Dip
There are two things that I make nearly every single week – homemade muesli bars and youghurt dip. I make a big batch of simple garlic and mint yoghurt dip every, single, week. You’d think my kids would be sick of it by now, but nope. If I skip out on making it boy do […]
