Bircher Muesli is one of those fantastic combinations of amazingly fresh and healthy ingredients that tastes too wonderful to be good for you. It was invented by a Swiss doctor and nutritionist, who developed it for patients at his Zurich sanatorium at the turn of the last century as a way of shoehorning yet more …
Hot dogs are a staple in America. You see them at football, ice hockey, baseball games, at 4th of July parties and on every street corner, the aroma of fried onions an assault on your senses as you walk through the city. I have never been a fan of the texture of biting into hot …
Everybody needs a treat now and then, something indulgent, something so good it is bad…or in the case of this recipe, something sooo good and not bad at all! I found this recipe in Vegan Life. A guilt free chocolate, salted caramel tart, with a healthier combination of ingredients than most cereal bars. The …
This is a sumptuous week day dinner that is light and refreshing and full of vitamins, super foods and protein. It takes 10 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook, so is easy when you need to eat something comforting with substance but not stodge. Its gluten, lactose, soya, nut and meat free and …
Food is everything we are; it’s an extension of identity, your personal history, your childhood, your development, your family tree and your grandma’s love. We used to call this dish Mug growing up and as a kid I used to make a lot of fuss when I was served it. The Moong Dal when cooked …
‘Those we love don’t walk away, they stay beside us everyday’ This is another of our family favorite dishes. We used to eat it every Monday growing up and my grandma used to break her Monday fast with it. It is an Indian version chicken soup, nourishing for the tummy and soul, with many medicinal …
This recipe was a request from my beautiful cousin Melanie-Jane who was born in Africa, Zambia and spent the early days of her childhood with my Grandma. She remembered this as a dip that my grandma would serve with Samosa’s and Pakora’s. Samosa’s are little parcels of joy and my grandma’s version were practically famous …
This is a really easy, relatively healthy and very sentimental recipe for me. Loli is a Sindhi* breakfast dish. In all honesty it is much more than this as it is the quintessential Indian ‘on the go’ travel food and because of this it plays a prominent role in family life and memories. It is …
I titled this recipe cream cheese, because without hesitation or reproach all of my guests thought it was cream cheese, just a little lighter. Luckily for me, who is sans lactose, this dish was made with tofu (da-da-dah.) It is so light and pure, it is good as a dip with crudité, or if …
This recipe is so fantastic, that it can be used as a raw pate, cooked to create a falafel or turned into meatballs. Unlike a falafel the middle is still soft, which I actually quite like. Other cooks use them as vegan meatballs by enveloping them in a tomato based sauce. I don’t think they would …
