Sisters of the Silver Moon (book one in the Gypsy Moon trilogy)
What does family mean to you? This is the question that is asked in my new novel, Sisters of the Silver Moon. Can you get by without family? Is there more to a relationship than blood? It’s out now! You can get your paperback copy from Amazon’s Create Space, Kindle or signed copies from my […]
In My Kitchen: Peanut Power
I love peanut butter. My favourite way is slathering crunchy organic peanut butter onto slices of beautiful organic Royal Gala apple. YUM. This is another great way to use peanut butter. 250g medjool dates 250g peacans 3 tablespoons organic crunchy peanut butter 1 tablespoon organic cocoa powder Whizz ingredients in a food processor. Roll […]
In My Kitchen: lemon and ginger bites
Today’s wholesome and gorgeous recipe is dedicated to my friend Denise Ridgway. You rock, syster! These bites are vegan, raw, sugar-free and gluten free.

What bees can teach us about love and family life
As a child, my sister and I would walk to our neighbour’s farm ~ a good couple of miles away ~ along dusty roads, through cultivated fields, and then scrubland. Nestled beneath eucalyptus trees were bee hives. But long before we saw the hives, we’d smell them. The fragrance of honey on the breeze was […]
In My Kitchen: Thyme and Green Vegetables with Spaghetti
I’m not a big fan of pasta, and it certainly was no hardship to give up when I became gluten free. Gluten is damaging to the thyroid and needs to be eliminated if you plan on having a balanced hormonal system. But, you know, with the right seasonings and vegetables, a […]
In My Kitchen: Balsamic Roast-Vegetable Salad

In My Kitchen: Banana and Cherry Cupcakes (Gluten Free)
“I wonder what these would taste like when they’ve cooled down,” my husband Paul said. “I guess we’ll never know.” No, I guess we won’t. These delightful gluten-free cupcakes are easy to whip up, and take very little time to bake. Banana and Cherry Cupcakes Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan oven) /400°F/Gas […]
Soul Sisters
I remember the birth of my little sister, Ramona, so clearly. I suppose it’s particularly strong because my dad was looking after me. He spent most of my childhood working overseas, but for my sister’s birth he was home. I was obviously upset at my mother’s absence, and he went out of his […]
In My Kitchen: Pinto Beans & Sweet Potato
I adore cooking (unless I’m exhausted). Beans and pulses soaking overnight in water, fresh herbs on a sunny windowsill, chatting with my husband or daughters. The scent of freshly ripped basil leaves or ginger or lemon zest invading my senses. Delicious. All these things, and more, make a kitchen feel like home. The scents […]
