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 …
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 …

This was another American adventure, given that Hazelnuts are not called Hazelnuts in the USA, they are called Filberts. When I asked the guy for where to find Hazelnuts and he said Filberts, I thought he was introducing himself, and so introduced myself and asked again. He thought I was a little odd to say …
This is another one for the picnic series It is taken from the Salad & Vegetable pocket book by the River Café, which was given to me by a lovely foodie friend. It’s fresh and refreshing and takes 3 minutes to make Don’t worry too much about the sizes, cut the fennel roughly and large …
This has the same component tastes as a bounty chocolate bar, but is made of raw ingredients and super foods. There is no chocolate in it; the chocolate flavour comes from raw cacao. Raw cacao is a true super food; it is made by cold pressing raw cocoa beans. This preserves all of the living …
This is one of my own recipes. It has been described as an energy bar that tastes like a Ferrero Roche. It is pure and therefore good for you versus other 4pm treats. Its simple but it works. Distribute the bars to your friends and aim for comments like, ‘this is so good I could …
