There’s a tiny coffee kiosk near my work that I have a huge, caffeinated crush on. It’s called Cafe Vinyl, it’s attached to a record store, and it pumps out funky tunes while you wait for your order. Tunes I can’t sing along to because I’m not hip enough to know them, but I […] Read more…

Vegan Nutella & Banana Parisian Crêpes
I’ve been to Paris twice in this lifetime (so far) and just like so many travellers before me, it was love at first sight. Ohhh, the beautiful architecture, gold encrusted bridges, charming canals, breathtaking gardens and fountains, effortlessly stylish fashion, priceless art, romantic music, and incredible, hot, gooey Nutella Crêpes available on every tree-lined city street… […] Read more…
Farmers’ Market Roast Vegetable & Pepita Salad
Every time I go to a Farmers Market I wonder why I don’t go every week. Yesterday was the perfect day for it. The sun was shining, the air was fresh, I had a heap of small change and no other plans until Noon. I gathered up my shopping bags and bribed my friend […] Read more…
Broccoli & Pine Nut Quiche

Ollie is our favourite character. If you can watch […] Read more…

But what if Shepherd’s Pie wrapped Quinoa up in his big, fluffy, mashy coat and brought her along as his date? Dressed in […] Read more…
Chana Masala Pizza

Serving Indian curry on bread! YES! Genius! I’ve always loved this Chana Masala recipe by The Copycat Cook, and thought it’d make the perfect […] Read more…
Mum’s Amazing Vegan Carrot Cake
How great are Mums?! I’m crazy about mine. On the weekend she invited me down to her place so we could catch up and watch the latest episodes of Tough Love Miami. Have you seen this show? When my Mum, sister and I watched the first season we dubbed it ‘Skanky Town’ because it was […] Read more…
