Classic orange olive oil cake with a hint of almond and spring. Today we celebrate life and the promise of something new that the season brings. The perfect way to celebrate spring! Even though citrus is known to be a winter fruit, it's still in season and the perfect addition to give your dishes the lift it needs. I only recently started using olive oil in my baking and the flavour it adds combined with the orange and almond had me hypnotised and wanting more with each bite. This orange...

Gluten-free honey glazed french-inspired tarts. Figs are my favourite fruit and coincidentally fig season also starts around the same time as my birthday. Inspired by Donna Hay and Rick Stein and Jamie Oliver's fig frangipane tarts I knew just had to try my hand at it as well. The golden crust is crumbly with a hint of sweetness. A combination of buckwheat flour and gluten-free flour were used with xanthan gum to bind the flours to form the dough. If you don't prefer a gluten-free crust just use any other...

Soft, gooey, buttery, sugary, pull-apart raisin cinnamon rolls. Even though this recipe is refined sugar-free and dairy-free it is still all the buttery, sugary goodness we were craving and not healthy at all.

If you are vegan, try our Vegan Easter Hot Cross Cinnamon Rolls , or for something with a little less sugar try our Vegan, Cinnamon, Date and Orange Buns. These recipes are also great for easter...
