‘If you plant corn, don’t be surprised to get corn’ This recipe comes from. ‘At home with the whole food kitchen’ by Amy Chaplin and Johnny Miller I made this polenta and served it a few different ways. The first step is to cook the polenta in water. You can add salt and pepper and …
I should really call these disappearing fries as every time I make them and leave them on the counter, half of them are gone by the time I come back (mentioning no names, Mum and Mr. B) They are delicious and taste similar to normal fries, although they seem to crisp up better. I now …
‘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 …
‘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 …
‘Man’s mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions’ I love it when a recipe expands and changes your perspective. Amy Chaplin’s Book, Whole Cooking Every Day is great for this, as she is taking your every-day items, like porridge and creating new varieties of them, keeping your chef mind and …

‘One kind word can warm three winter months’ This is a beautiful recipe for the winter. It is grounding due to the seed and nuts being used in place of grains and can be eaten warm or cold. It is rich in protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. It is a great recipe to batch, with …
‘A new year means a new chapter. I hope 2022 is an incredible part of your story’. ‘I didn’t hear the question, but the answer is chocolate’ sounds like a Mr B quote! This was a gift for him as a count-down to new year. I made the pie and some extra chocolate mousse and …
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 sweets are there by your side, to celebrate you in every occasion’ This is a rare sweet/mithai that doesn’t have diary in it. My grandma would make it and keep it in the fridge for puja and snacking. It is basically almonds and sugar and so great for breaking a religious fast. Yield: 8-inch …
