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…
Tofu Feta
Oooh, I remember when there wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t eat cheese. I’d suffer from tummy pains, eczema, and wobbly bits on my body where I didn’t want them, but still I wouldn’t step away from the cheese. Thankfully I finally got savvy, but I do miss the fun of […] Read more…
Tandoori Sweet Potato Triangles with Minted Cashew ‘Yoghurt’
As you know I’m a huge fan of fast, simple, vegan food so I’ll whip my disclaimer in early: this recipe made enough deliciousness for 2-3 people but it’s a fiddly process, so next time I’ll be smarter and make a larger batch. There was one lovely triangle left in the fridge the next day […] Read more…
Egyptian Mezze Platter – Hummus and Quinoa Tabbouleh
I was never a fan of Tabbouleh when I was growing up. My Dad always tried to convince me to eat it whenever he bought us kebabs but I was having none of it. Just plain iceberg lettuce for this little duck, thank you very much! And you can keep that strange hummus stuff, too! […] Read more…
Vegan MoFo Elote (Mexican Street Corn)
I know what you’re thinking. ‘Good grief! Somebody just buy this woman a flight to Mexico, already!’ And I would like you to know that I am totally open to all forms of bribery, corruption and gifts in any shape or form. No questions asked. (I’m kidding, Big Brother, just relax). I’ve been to […] Read more…
Vegan MoFo Antipasto Tarts
A friend and I saw Immaturi, il Viaggio at the Italian Film Festival on Tuesday night: Wickedly amusing and filled with food, antics, friends and fun, it reminded me of the Italian Antipasto Tarts I made a little while ago for dinner parties for friends and family. Both times the tarts were the most […] Read more…
Vegan MoFo Grilled Zucchini Ribbon & Toasted Almond Salad
I had a Shrek-sized craving for green food tonight. Maybe it’s because I attended Perth Green Drinks last night to hear the Mayors of Perth and Fremantle talk about sustainability plans for our city. Exciting stuff! I even wore a green-ish, sparkly top and sparkly eyeshadow for the event. AND I caught […] Read more…
Spicy Chickpeas – Made in Chelsea
Do you watch the British TV show Made in Chelsea? It is ridiculously hysterical. My friend Kyllie and I watch it in our own homes and Whatsapp message each other a running commentary throughout the entire show, complete with many, many giggle fits. Tears, snorts, the works. Ollie is our favourite character. If you can watch […] Read more…
Easter Bunny Vegan Potato Bake
I only have one sibling. Sometimes I watch ‘Brothers and Sisters’ with a lovely glass of red wine and romantically wish I had more, but mostly I listen to Mum’s stories of her annoying brother and the countless Chinese burns he gave her and I am grateful. Her name is Amanda (Panda to us) […] Read more…
Peanut Hummus
Hummus + Peanut Butter = genius! Why didn’t I think of this before?!! I first experienced this stroke of brilliance at Fremantle’s Whisper Wine Bar where friends Dom, Jac, Rhiannon and I met for bubbles, giggles and nibbles before enjoying an amazing gig by Paul Dempsey at the Fly By Night Musicians Club. Great weather, […] Read more…
