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 …
Every restaurant in the USA serves Brussel Sprouts, they serve them at farm to table restaurants, steak restaurants, I’ve even seen them at sushi restaurants. For me and I would suspect most English people I know, Brussel Sprouts are something to be feared. They rear their heads at Christmas mainly, more often than not over boiled and …
A salad might be a simple recipe to blog, but it would be a shame if you never tried this combination, as it is salad-sational Strawberries might seem like something you should eat for desert or breakfast but the tart acidity actually works very well as a replacement for balsamic. This is nicely complemented with …
I love these little pockets of joy, they are so fresh and tasty with the added zing you get from the herbs, like in so many Vietnamese dishes. The almond butter dipping sauce is a wonderful addition, and I got the recipe from ‘the minimalist baker’ whose clean living blog is phenomenal and deserves …
