‘The advantage of the cauliflower is that if all else fails, you can always cover it with melted cheese and eat it’. My little one loves broccoli (for now), but he won’t touch cauliflower, so I have been thinking about ways of sneaking it into his dinner. I make a mean turmeric rice (thank you …
‘Happiness is a small house with a big kitchen’ The layout of the downstairs of our new house is the kitchen, the living area and a playroom. We don’t use the living room much for living, as we haven’t switched the TV on since Baby B was born, so it is really a gateway area …
’Eat waffles, sleep, play, repeat’ Yes, the waffle recipes are back! I have made this one the most recently as Baby B takes them to school with him. They are also great to take with you when traveling in the car. My mum wanted to learn how to make these, so I gave her the …
‘If you don’t eat well, you won’t be able to think, sleep or love well’ My little one has been quite ill recently, having spent a couple of days at school and contracted a few bugs at the same time, including RSV. Over the last few weeks, have been trying to make sure he eats …
‘The delicate sweetness of just picked vegetables, is always worth savoring’ I made this dish for the wider family on thanksgiving, alongside a number of other veggie dishes.

‘Funny, how one good cookie can calm the mind and elevate a troubled soul’. I used to make these cookies at the restaurant. It was like quiet sweet meditation. They are more like a healthy granola bar in the form of a cookie, so can be eaten any time of the day. I love the …
‘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 …
‘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. I also had the honour of making a small contribution during the photography session and feel a personal connection to the recipes …
‘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. …
