There have been some funny things going on lately. Out for tapas and vino with my gal pals the other night, one of my friends said: “Oh, I made your healthy beetroot dip recipe to take to work the other day and everyone loved it! And I used Coyo so it was free of dairy […] Read more…

This little gem was inspired by a curious salad we encountered at Musashi Japanese Restaurant in Sydney a couple of weeks ago. Usually a huge fan of salads overflowing with delicious goodness, I wouldn’t have thought that a simple cucumber salad would really get my wow on, but something about this little number was magic.
