Buckwheat pikelets with honey-sweetened lemon curd

These beautifully rustic buckwheat pikelets are best enjoyed straight from the pan and are wonderfully light and fluffy to eat. The buckwheat flour gives a lovely earthy flavour – the perfect partner for the zesty homemade lemon curd. Photograph, props and styling by Eleanor Ozich.

Carrot, orange and ginger cakes with mascarpone

These gorgeously zesty carrot, orange and ginger cakes have a lovely moist texture. This wholesome recipe calls for coconut sugar, which gives a nice caramel flavour. Topped with pure and plain mascarpone, these cakes make a wonderful afternoon treat with a cup of tea. Photograph, props and styling by Eleanor Ozich

Braised silverbeet topped with bacon and rosemary roasted pumpkin

This wonderfully warming salad is very comforting. The braised silverbeet and rosemary add a fragrant and earthy touch. It’s perfect served with the deliciously crisp and salty bacon pieces. When I’m feeling like something simple, I’ll make this dish as a stand-alone dinner, although it is fantastic served alongside a roast, too. Photograph, props and styling by Eleanor Ozich.
