Ashley Alexander of Gather & Feast’s cottage cheese & maple syrup pancakes
Cook up a lazy Sunday morning brekky with our ambassador Ashley Alexander, of Gather & Feast’s, fluffy, moist and naturally sweetened high-protein pancakes. Made with cottage cheese, these pancakes have a savoury base that’s perfectly balanced by the sweetness of pure maple syrup and in-season summer strawberries (or any seasonal fruit that’s left in your fridge). With no added salt, they’re a lighter, healthier alternative to your average flapjacks.

Simply add tea bags, water, pure maple, fresh mint and a slice of lime to the drink and more maple syrup, water and fresh mint to create the maple flavoured ice cubes.

Oysters Kilpatrick with maple dressing
Bring a touch of Australian luxury to your next family gathering this summer with freshly shucked oysters Kilpatrick with a maple dressing.
