Take high tea to the next level with homemade finger buns

Tuckshop days were the best school days. You'd roll up to the window with your brown-paper bag and the perfect amount of spare change for a chocolate milk, meat pie and – the best 'til last – a sugary pink-iced finger bun. If, like us, its been far too many years since that sweet coconutty goodness graced your lips, it's time to make a change. Invite your nearest around for a good old fashioned high tea (or a tuckshop-themed party, now there's an idea) and whip up a batch of these delicious homemade fingers buns from Anneka Manning's new book, BakeClass. more

Munch on vegan grawnola with coconut mylk

Once upon a time there lived a chain-smoking, hard-partying sales manager named Maz Valcorza, who ate many bacon sandwiches and and only exercised to stay reasonably fit. One day, in an effort to tone her butt, Maz decided to take up yoga – little did she know that off-the-cuff decision would change her life forever, leading her toward an organic, plant-based life. In April 2012 Maz opened Sadhana Kitchen in Sydney, the city's first organic, vegan, raw food and wholefoods cafe. In her book The Naked Vegan, Maz shares a number of the cafe's signature recipes, including this one for grawnola with coconut mylk and coconut whipped cream. Try it coated with raw dark chocolate as a treat or sprinkle over a chia pudding for added crunch. more
