Tahini Snickers Bites
It’s like a snickers, but with salted caramel. I had no idea what I was making when I started this recipe. It was purely just for fun. I had been wanting to make some tahini caramel for some time, it is so quick and can be used for a number of different sweet things. It then morphed into layering this with peanut butter, and covering in chocolate - to resemble these salted caramel peanut bites. They’re rich, gooey and definitely one to add to the list for homemade Christmas gifts (too soon?!). Makes 9 bites INGREDIENTS: 4 tbsp hulled tahini 2 tbsp milk (plant-based or dairy) 2 tsp maple syrup 9 tsp crunchy peanut butter 250g dark chocolate Sea salt INSTRUCTIONS: Combine the tahini, milk and maple syrup in a small pot over a low heat. Stir while the mixture warms and starts to thicken. Turn off the heat and let sit for a few more minutes to thicken. Spoon evenly into a silicone tray that is safe for freezing. Freeze caramel until firm, then spoon 1 tsp of peanut butter on top and smooth. Return to the freezer for at least an hour. Gently melt the chocolate in a double boiler, or in the microwave, stirring well and being mindful not to overheat. Remove each bite from the silicone mould and using two spoons dunk into the melted chocolate, turning until covered and then placing on baking paper to set. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3 days. Feel free to make smaller, if you have a silicone tray that is a smaller volume.

Feijoa Crumble Galette
How good is feijoa season? You can whip this recipe up with feijoas of any quality. Whether they're ripe for the picking or on their last legs and quite brown, any and all can be used. Don't waste them! A delicious dessert to serve up with some yoghurt or ice cream for friends and family. Serves 6 Time 1 hr 15 mins INGREDIENTS Pastry: 3/4 cup flour 50g butter 2 tbsp sour cream 1 egg 1/4 cup almond meal Filling: 10-12 medium sized feijoas Crumble topping: ½ cup flour ¼ cup brown sugar ¼ tsp baking powder ¼ tsp ground cinnamon ⅓ cup rolled oats ¼ cup olive oil INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 180°C. To make the pastry place the flour and butter in a bowl and combine with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sour cream and egg and mix together with a fork until combined (the mixture will be very wet). Slowly mix in almond meal to form a dough. If the dough is quite sticky still, add a little more almond meal to bring it together. Turn the dough onto a large sheet of baking paper dusted with flour and roll out into a circle. Half, scoop and slice the feijoas and place in a circle in the middle of the pastry. Use a fish slice to lift the edges up and fold over to form the galette. Combine crumble ingredients into a bowl and stir with a fork until the crumble forms. Spread the crumble over the top of the fruit mixture in the middle of the galette. Bake for 30-45 minutes until the pastry and crumble is golden and the fruit is cooked through.

Berry Bircher
There is nothing quite like bircher to make you feel on top of life in the morning. A pre-prepared, wholesome breakfast that gets you started for the day. Makes 4 serves Ingredients 1 cups whole grain oats ¼ cup shredded coconut ¼ cup sunflower seeds ¼ cup pumpkin seeds 1 tbsp chia seeds ½ tsp cinnamon 1 ½ cups frozen berries 1 cup milk 1 cup plain yoghurt Topping ¼ cup slivered almonds Shredded coconut Extra berries Instructions In a mixing bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the frozen berries, then stir through the milk and yoghurt. Stir well. Cover and chill overnight in the fridge. This allows the oats to soften and milk to absorb into the oats. The next morning, give the bircher a stir and divide between four bowls/containers. Top with extra coconut and almonds Notes: To save time in the morning, divide the bircher into four airtight containers before you chill in the fridge overnight. Then come the morning, give it a stir and any extra toppings before you hit the road.
