Oatmeal Waffles (GF, DF)

By , January 14, 2023

’Eat waffles, sleep, play, repeat’ Yes, the waffle recipes are back! I have made this one the most recently as Baby B takes them to school with him. They are also great to take with you when traveling in the car. My mum wanted to learn how to make these, so I gave her the

Almond Coconut Chocolate Muffins (GF, DF)

By , December 31, 2022

‘I said to the almond tree, speak to me of God, and the almond tree blossomed’ I love this recipe as it is naturally gluten free with lots of healthy ingredients and an antioxidant bonus from the raw cacao. It is gooey and chocolatey, without having dairy or chocolate. Great for a sophisticated adult dessert

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.

Pecan and Date Oat Cookies (GF, V)

By , October 29, 2022

‘Funny, how one good cookie can calm the mind and elevate a troubled soul’. I used to make these cookies at the restaurant. It was like quiet sweet meditation. They are more like a healthy granola bar in the form of a cookie, so can be eaten any time of the day. I love the

Buckwheat and Amaranth Paratha (GF, V)

By , October 22, 2022

‘You melt my heart like ghee on fresh hot paratha’ I love to try new gluten free Indian flatbread recipes, as roti and paratha are staples in Indian cuisine. The great aspect of Indian flatbread is that it is only made with a few ingredients and is also yeast free. This version uses ancient grains

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

Pumpkin Pecan Granola (GF, V)

By , October 11, 2022

‘Sugar, pumpkin spice and all things nice’. Tis the season for all things pumpkin. In that ‘spirit’ granola had to be on the menu. It is a super simple recipe. I added in pumpkin seeds and candied ginger to the original recipe to ramp up the taste. I like to use this in yogurt for

Red Lentil, Roasted Pumpkin and Spinach Soup (GF, V)

By , October 3, 2022

‘Gourd vibes only’ Apologies for the delayed blog. We moved house to be closer to nature, both for the balance of my own temperament and my little one’s development. Moving house and ‘starting again’ is no small feat, throw in an under one and it can be somewhat hectic and overwhelming. When life starts to

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.
