I’ve been making one or other version of this recipe for a few years now. Initially, it was a recipe I found in a local cookbook, and as a young baker, I followed the recipe to the letter. Then sometime last year, I rediscovered it and tried my had at veganising the original. I did […]

Lean, Green, Veggie Tacos

Many of us in western countries grew up eating sandwiches for lunch. And while the great thing about that is that we came to enjoy various kinds of bread, we all know that all breads are not created equally. The bread we buy at supermarkets are often so processed and made with ingredients we rather should avoid. […]
Luxurious Basil-Cashew Mayo

Do you know the feeling of trying something new, and it just…works? That’s what happened here. I felt like trying something exciting. All of the nut or seed mayos I’d previously seen were made with lemon juice for taste. But I wanted something different: flavourful and creamy, without trying too hard to be a ‘veganised’ […]
The Easiest, Tastiest Sweet Potato Fries

These sweet potato fries are such a game changer. We all know how comforting carbohydrates are when you eat them, and how soul-crushing it is when, after you’ve eaten it, you feel bloated, and filled with regret. Just me? I’ve said this before – I’m all about balance. And so, while I thoroughly enjoy having […]

It’s a tasty, fool proof meal that comes together with little effort or planning. No fuss stir-fry I’ve written […]

Warm Indian-Spiced Vegetable Curry

Measurements and abundance I have a confession to make. I’m not a fan of recipes. Eek! I grew up watching my mom – who was a cook by trade – toss spices and salt into 60 litre pots, by hand. Her measuring system was a combination of eye tracking, prayer and instinct. And so my siblings I […]
Tomato, Sweet Potato and Butter Bean Soup

This recipe is very special to me, since it’s one of my first original creations. It’s something I experimented with when I initially discovered my own knack for combining flavours, and incidentally, the vast world of soup. At the time, I was new to vegetarianism. So new in fact, that I didn’t realise what was […]
Basil Pesto Celebration Pasta

This is one of my husband’s favourites, and one I thoroughly enjoy too. I like the challenge of figuring things out, as well as trying new combinations and tricky methods. The thrill of it all coming together, is pure joy. But then there’s nothing quite as enjoyable as simplicity, especially when it comes to food. […]
