‘Be like seeds, do not see dirt thrown at you as your enemy, but as ground to grow’ This is a unique recipe I found in ‘the Korean vegan’ cookbook. It is a recipe she found on her favourite Korean sitcom, which reminded her how much she liked sprouts. I love the way Korean cuisine

Muhammara Style Dip (GF, V)

Mr B loves this dip, so I thought I would make a healthy version for him. The walnuts add protein and phytonutrients, the peppers antioxidants. It is packed with plenty of flavour and can be used as a dip, a topping or marinade. There are lots of protein additions that complement this dish also, a

Zucchini Cheese Bake (GF)

By , August 5, 2025

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

Crispy Chickpeas (GF, V)

By , July 30, 2025

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

This is my new favorite breakfast. I eat it with smoked salmon, but you can make it with scrambled tofu or egg. It’s quick to put together and is lovely and light. It has high protein, veggies, probiotics and a lot of flavor. I especially like the toasted sesame oil addition. I got this recipe

Superhero Muffins (GF, V)

‘80% Health Goddess, 20% Cookie Monster’ This is a lovely recipe for a substantial muffin, good for breakfast, a lunchbox or summer picnic. It has apple and carrots so nutrient dense, as well as almonds, walnuts and oats. I did this at home gluten free with the nuts and for two classes using wholemeal flour

Sumac-Strawberry Mini Pavlovas (GF)

By , June 14, 2025

‘Your plate is where tradition meets innovation’ I was given some beautiful Sumac from the Rye Library Spice Club, sourced from Serafina. I adapted this recipe from the middle eastern inspired book, Eating Out Loud. I’m a big fan of middle eastern spicing and love using sumac for its combination of earthiness and lemony characteristics.
