‘Timeless and versatile, almonds are an organic shade that speak to authenticity and all that is natural’ I found this recipe in Goop, when looking for ‘alternative’ flour recipes. I love using almond flour, as it such a wonderful whole food ingredient and brings a natural sweetness to the recipe. Almonds are also full of …
‘Just say cheese’ When I turned to vegetarianism at the tender age of 13, one of the things I missed most was my mum’s roast lamb. She would make it at Christmas, Easter and on request for special occasions. One of the things that made up for giving this up was to get extra portions …
‘We have to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles and work, or waffles, friends and work. Either way work comes third’. Lucky for me, making waffles is my work as a chef. It is also my obsession, having realised that you can have wholefood, healthy waffles for breakfast, whilst working at Divya’s Kitchen where …
‘It’s much harder to be sad, when eating a cookie’ I love these cookies, as they take 5 minutes to make and 10 minutes to bake. They are great for kids, with the sweetness coming from the banana, protein from the nut/seed butter and great fibre from the oats. They are pretty much the equivalent …

The flour has good fats and protein, is nutritive and satiating. Coconut flour absorbs more moisture than other flours, …
‘Food is the ingredient that binds us together’ This dish was requested by Mr B. It is something his mum makes in all different forms, changing the vegetable dependent on the season. His favourite is the squash blossom version, which they make a lot as they produce them in their garden. The asparagus and artichoke …
This is a great recipe, as it is a breakfast that tastes like chocolate cake. In fact, I would go as far as to say you could serve it as a dessert at a dinner party. If you follow my blog, you’ll know that I am a big fan of oats. In my recipes you’ll …
‘Indian food touches your soul before it touches your taste buds’ This was another Sunday lunch special. It is a deeply spiced dish with a luscious and luxurious gravy to be scooped up with hot buttered roti. I used vegan mince here, it works well with beyond meat versus soya for this as it holds …
‘You don’t need a silver fork, to eat good food’ This is a dish that we loved as kids, a grab and go from the chapati tin, similar to how a kid from the USA would use a cookie jar. We also used to take them on picnics and when we travelled, much like the …
