Italian Green Beans (GF, V)

By , November 26, 2022

‘The delicate sweetness of just picked vegetables, is always worth savoring’ I made this dish for the wider family on thanksgiving, alongside a number of other veggie dishes. This was the only one that was eaten, as apparently you don’t need to eat veggies on thanksgiving unless they have marshmallows on them. It is an

Spinach and Artichoke Dip (GF, V)

By , November 25, 2022

‘If you combine good flavors, food turns into an orchestra’ This is a great dish that has a ton of healthy ingredients but tastes gooey and indulgent. It has layers of deep flavour but is super simple to make. It doesn’t look too fancy, but it was the showstopper at a recent brunch I hosted.

Lime Rice Pilaf (GF, V)

By , October 15, 2022

‘Imitate the rice stalk, the more grains it bears, the lower it bows’. I love Divya Alters new book, the joy of balance. The recipes are simple, healthy and the knowledge is vast. I also had the honour of making a small contribution during the photography session and feel a personal connection to the recipes

Sweet Soothing Masala (GF, V)

By , September 18, 2022

‘She said nothing with her voice and everything with the way she cared for you.’  It only made sense this week to feature a recipe with cardamom in it, after the beautifully written interview my dear friend Kate Ray from soft leaves wrote about my culinary journey and relationship with cardamom.

Baked Mung Lentils (GF, V)

By , September 10, 2022

Anyone know knows me, or has been following this blog for a while, knows I love mung lentils.  From my grandma’s mung dal to my own mung lentil burgers, pancakes and frittata’s, if you can make it using mung, I will give it a go. From an Ayurvedic perspective mung (or moong) is sweet, cooling and

Caramel apple soft serve (GF, V)

By , September 4, 2022

‘All you need is love…and maybe a little ice cream’.  I copied down this recipe from a book on cleansing, as I thought it sounded so delicious that it would encourage people to want to eat it and therefore cleanse. It is made our star ingredient for liver cleansing, apple but due to the banana

Butter Bean Puree with Dukkah (GF, V)

By , August 28, 2022

‘I’d rather have a cupboard full of herbs than a closet full of heels’ This dish was inspired by my friend Kim. Literally one of the nicest people I have met. She mentioned using canned butter beans to make puree, how much time it saved and how tasty it was, and I was won over.

Tofu Nuggets (GF, V)

By , August 21, 2022

‘The mind is like Tofu; it tastes like whatever you marinate it in’.  This is an extremely simple recipe, to be used as a teether, a protein rich food and a crouton for adult meals, it’s a nice staple as it is simple to prepare and can be used in many ways.  I made this

Sweet green cashew dressing (GF, V)

By , August 5, 2022

‘Real cooking is more about following your heart than following a recipe’ Mr B loves a sweet greens salad, it is to do with the great variety of vegetables, protein add-in’s but most of all the spicy cashew dressing. The company recently posted the recipe on their Instagram account, noting it had too many ingredients

Watermelon Canape (GF, V)

By , July 30, 2022

‘If you focus only on the seeds of a watermelon, you miss the sweetness of the meat’ I’ve been buying a lot of watermelon to keep the family hydrated during the various heat waves we have had on both sides of the pond. My baby Matteo loves to use it as a teether, my mum
