Pavlova: is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova.

Sweet Potato, Pumpkin and Chickpea Soup

I can see the end of winter.                                             I think.

Lavender Caramel Twix

The magnolia will always stick in my mind.

Fancy Chocolate Crackles

Sometimes you listen to a doctor, and totally take on board what they have to say. But also, what they have to say is pretty shithouse, so you kinda ignore them. This isn’t one of those times.

10 Things and Cupcakes

   I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22.

Rosemary and Vanilla Granola

Herbs are so underrated in sweet goods. We’ve done salt and we’ve done pepper, so why not thyme? Or basil? OR freekin’ marjoram (shit’s serious)? Well, just because I suppose.

Lime, Pistachio and Rosewater Tart

Ladies and gentlemen – I, Rachel Southwood, have cold hands.

Almond and Apricot Bites

This confession has been a long time coming – I’ll just come out and say it. I’m nuts about nuts – almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans I love em! Don’t even get me started on hazelnuts. My love of nuts is …

Strawberry Milkshake Cake

Goats Cheese, Pecan and Spinach Rolls

Early this year I journeyed back to my home and I realised something. I had a terrible, and boring diet.

I LOVE walking!

I’m not sure whether the title is fully conveying how much I love walking. It’s so good; don’t you love it?

For some reason walking gets this totally bad rap amongst fitness nerds – which I feel in turn will put people off exercising all together.

The past few weeks I’ve been upping my usual walks to about 10,000 steps a day; most days I’m smashing it. Go me! Plus 10,000 is such a big number.

I’ve also been attempting to fit a big hill walk in at least once a week; because to be 100% honest I just cannot commit to a gym. Commitment-phobe! Has anyone got any good Adelaide walks? I’d love to hear them.

Oh to measure my steps I’ve been using this awesome free app called moves (this isn’t sponsored), you should download it because I’m sure they will start charging soon – it’s just so good.
