I am currently working as a plant-based R&D chef for a company and one of our clients is looking for on the go high protein, healthy breakfast items. This is great as it gives me the incentive to create recipes for work that I could use at home. Mr B loved this recipe and said …
The humble chickpea certainly packs above its weight in nutrition given its size. This is a wonderful snack that can be added to any dish to boost your protein and fibre. You can eat it alone as a snack or add it as protein on a texture contrast. You can vary the spicing, think, salt …
‘Every dish I cooked exhumed a memory. Every scent and taste brought me back for a moment to an unravaged home’ I found some beautiful freshly made tofu at the Larchmont Farmers Market this weekend from Great Joy Family Farm. It reminded me of my time in Singapore where I used to taste it most …
