Oh my, what a big weekend that was! Winter Solstice! SuperMoon! Exclamation marks! I decided we needed to stop the madness and get grounded again with a big, hot-pot of Veg Chilli. Back when I was a newbie vegan and not very handy in the kitchen, one of my favourite mealtime tricks was to […] Read more…
Gluten Free
Sweet Potato Bruschetta
I was goofing off on Pinterest doing serious stuff on the Internets the other day when LO AND BEHOLD, this gorgeous post from Smitten Kitchen jumped out and bit me! Sweet Potato as a healthier and gluten-free bruschetta base? Genius! I loved the sound of the topping Deb used (and vowed to try it ASAP) […] Read more…
Pumpkin, Rocket & Vegan ‘Goat Cheese’ Gnocchi
Oh my beautiful friend Gnocchi, how I’ve missed you! Remember how much we crushed on this Spicy Tomato & Basil Gnocchi last winter? mmmmmmmmmmm… Soooo delicious and comforting – not to mention ready faster than you can say where’s my other fluffy slipper?! Gnocchi is usually a sure-fire hit with everyone. And just […] Read more…
Easy Vegan Laksa
It can be a bit tricky sometimes, food blogging. During a particularly lovely bout of daydreaming about exotic places last week, I had an idea – Laksa! I quickly researched traditional ingredients, brainstormed some changes, told my Lovebug to get his belly ready, skipped to the shops and back, and whipped up a pot with […] Read more…
Autumn Sweet Potato, Vegetable & Red Lentil Dhal
I love this time of year. I’m a summer girl through and through and I know that in a few weeks I’ll already be lamenting the cold, but for now I choose to enjoy my romantic notions and endless daydreams of fluffy jumpers, mugs of hot chocolate, lying in bed listening to the rain, and […] Read more…
Brussel Sprout Slaw
Now, hold up there, speed racer! Before you screw your nose up and exclaim: “Brussel sprouts? Ewwww!“, just hear me out. These are not the old, soggy, boiled-to-within-an-inch-of-their-existence brussel sprouts that you remember from the days when you barely managed to force them down your throat (or if you were smart, dropped them under […] Read more…
Easy Mexican Stuffed Peppers
I’m playing Pro-Blogger again this week. What better time than the week after Easter to take a break from the 9-5 to catch up on blog fixing (and sleeping)? If you’ve experienced issues connecting with this site over the past couple of weeks, please accept my sincerest apologies! It seems we’ve grown a little […] Read more…
Pan-Fried Tofu Steaks with Coriander Cream & Asparagus Spears
Once upon a time I thought that tofu was nothing more than little white squares of tastelessness thrown into vegetable dishes just to bulk them up. Thankfully some very creative local fusion restaurants showed me the error of my ways and I came to learn how versatile it is. Throw on some fresh spices, […] Read more…
Peach & Hazelnut Dukkah Salad
Do you love a 10 minute meal prep as much as I do? You’ll love this Peach & Hazelnut Dukkah salad. Simon Bryant inspired this deliciousness with his gorgeous new book Vegies but his version has a hot, buttery dressing and I wanted to keep it raw and fast with some organic, cold-pressed oil for neurological […] Read more…
Sweet Potato & Pine Nut Pasta Bake
I’ve already learnt so much during my Institute for Integrative Nutrition studies I barely know where to begin, but as a former chocolate-and-Starburst addict I particularly liked the module on ‘deconstructing cravings’. Lesson from the Institute: sugar cravings can often be decreased by increasing your intake of sweet vegetables. Lesson from life: men need (what […] Read more…

Roast Veg, Quinoa & Dukkah Salad with Tofu Feta
Oooh, remember that seductive Grill’d salad I was crushing on last week? Here’s a flashback: It had me non-stop daydreaming about making a version of my own. Only this one’s better because it has tofu feta! Everything is better with feta! Sing it, sister! This is a great salad to enjoy all year […] Read more…
Greek Salad Skewers and Tofu Feta
When I was 24 I spent a month travelling the Greek Islands of Naxos, Santorini and Ios. It was all part of a very beautiful, liberating, magical year full of adventure, self-exploration and intoxicating sunsets… I ate Greek Salad in the sunshine every single day and basked in the bliss of the relaxed, Island way […] Read more…
Healthy Hot Chocolate Fudge Sauce
Ooh, remember that Hot Fudge Brownie we fell in love with at Candle 79?? Here’s a flashback: Gahhhh, SO CRAZY GOOD, I vowed to recreate it ASAP. I wanted to make a healthy version, though. Because no-one likes to wear their brownie on their bottom for the whole summer, do they? Course […] Read more…
