I have just recently returned from time in London with two of my adult children (now resident). I got happily hooked into watching re-runs of The Great British Bake-off on Netflix. We started from the first series and spent many evenings watching and discussing baking techniques as well as the different personalities of the contestants. […]

Cloud Bread
So I decided to make cloud bread. We are still getting plenty of eggs from our chooks and I’m always looking for ways to use them that isn’t cake. Cloud bread is simple and fun to make and next time I’ll make them with the moko’s. This recipe makes 6 pieces which converts to 3 […]
Vegan Banana Bread.
Yesterday we had a working bee at the marae. I made two vegan banana breads, and a double batch of anzac bikkies for the whakanoa morning tea. The whakanoa is the final part of the powhiri process where we “break bread” together. In this way we go from a state of tapu back to a […]
Pan Pugliese
This is a bread you need to prepare a day or few in advance by making a yeast starter. With a soft interior this flavoursome bread is perfect for sandwiches or mopping up a saucy stew. It’s a great summer loaf. The starter when it’s ready can be kept in the fridge for up to […]
Banana Bread
For my last birthday I was given the NZ cookbook “Whole”. This is Monique Satherley’s Paleo Banana Bread. It’s the best textured gluten free cake/loaf I’ve found to date and I’ll definitely be playing around with this recipe for different blends. What’s more I had all the ingredients in my pantry. It’s super simple and […]

It was good and delicious. I’ve altered the recipe quite a bit from the original but from memory I think this version may […]
Poppy Seed Bread
I made a poppy seed bread at Christmas to honor our Polish ancestory on my dad’s side. It will now become a permanent addition to my special occasion bread making sessions. It’s a sweet bread that tastes just as good fresh as it does a few days old. On day two or three (if there […]
Tricia’s Focaccia
Focaccia bread will always turn any meal into a special event…. it takes no time at all to make and it’s super easy. Everyone loves this foccacia bread. Use it for a peasant lunch with salads, cheese and olives, or with dips like hummus, pesto and tapenade. For a main meal with soup, a hearty […]
Palms Bread
This is the bread that is voted tops by everyone in the family. It lasts for ages, in fact it is still good for toast after a week and freezes well. This recipe makes two large, or three regular size loaves and I usually break the loaves into halves and keep one half out and […]
