Welcome!
My passion for food is enriched in both the kitchen and life. Enjoying food is all about finding the right balance and falling in love with it all over again! As you skim through my recipes you’ll find plenty of decadent and easy-to-make recipes using simple ingredients you may find in your kitchen.
I provide some low-fat, low-carb recipes as well as some cheat foods – because I’m a big believer in indulgence without regret.
My relationship with food
After years of feeling lost in the crazy world of crash diets, I’ve finally found myself in a healthy relationship with food. This means eating without any resentment or deprivation.
If you’re looking to work on your relationship with food, you’re in the right place! From a fresh Grilled Chicken Cobb Caesar Salad one day, to a Nutella Stuffed Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie the next, we are all about finding balance in your diet.
Updating my recipes regularly, here you will find endless inspiration for weekly meals, dinner party dishes, and breakfasts including our world-famous Best Fluffy Pancakes and of course, delectable desserts like our Brownies.
Where did it all begin?
What started as a food diary on the Cafe Delites Instagram in 2014, quickly developed into a full-blown love affair both in the kitchen and behind the lens. Fast forward two years and Cafe Delites has become a foodie favourite across the globe.
Check out some of my published recipes that have been featured by other publications from around the world, on my media page.
This is my new path. After surviving cancer (Stage 4B Hodgkins Lymphoma) and a lot of life’s other great difficulties including childhood molestation and abuse; I am here, I am alive and although my life is far from perfect, I am eternally grateful to have been given a ‘second chance.’ Read more about my cancer journey (yes, I wrote a book too!).
