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.

‘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

‘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.

Anyone know knows me, or has been following this blog for a while, knows I love mung lentils.  From my grandma’s mung dal to my own mung lentil burgers, pancakes and frittata’s, if you can make it using mung, I will give it a go. From an Ayurvedic perspective mung (or moong) is sweet, cooling and

Caramel apple soft serve (GF, V)

‘All you need is love…and maybe a little ice cream’.  I copied down this recipe from a book on cleansing, as I thought it sounded so delicious that it would encourage people to want to eat it and therefore cleanse. It is made our star ingredient for liver cleansing, apple but due to the banana

Butter Bean Puree with Dukkah (GF, V)

By , August 28, 2022

‘I’d rather have a cupboard full of herbs than a closet full of heels’ This dish was inspired by my friend Kim. Literally one of the nicest people I have met. She mentioned using canned butter beans to make puree, how much time it saved and how tasty it was, and I was won over.

Tofu Nuggets (GF, V)

‘The mind is like Tofu; it tastes like whatever you marinate it in’.  This is an extremely simple recipe, to be used as a teether, a protein rich food and a crouton for adult meals, it’s a nice staple as it is simple to prepare and can be used in many ways.  I made this

Garden Pasta Sauce (GF, V)
