I love snacking, especially when you’re watching a movie or sharing some drinks with friends. This popcorn takes a simple snack to the next level, making it very grown up and even more addictive than the original. Look out.
CHILLI SESAME CRISPY TOFU BUN BOWLS
Crunchy golden tofu pieces in a spicy salty sauce with toasted sesame seeds, hell yes! Put it all on top of a pile of fine rice noodles and fresh slaw and I’m a happy girl. This is by no means a traditional bun bowl with all the right flavours and – but they were the inspiration, so don’t get angry at me for my description. Let 2017 be the year of you having fun with your food and letting go of the rule book.
SALT AND PEPPER PRAWNS
These prawns are the best! They’re so full of flavour and, thanks to the chickpea flour coating, are crispy and golden. The spicy salt seasoning makes them super delicious. Just writing about them makes me want to eat them again…
GINGERBREAD NICECREAM WITH STOVETOP CRUMBLE
It’s Christmas this week! And this means that every meal I eat will be Christmas themed!!! Totally joking! But I will be eating this nice cream frequently both with and without that topping because it’s DELICIOUS. And super easy.
ROASTED TOMATO AND RED PEPPER TORTILLA SOUP WITH GRILLED SWEET CORN AND AVOCADO
This soup. Just, well it’s everything. If you’ve never used tortillas to thicken your soup you’ve got to do it. It’s genius as it makes it creamier without having to use cream! If a soup can be summery and still hot then this is it. It’s perfect for cities like Melbourne when you’re blessed with summer produce but there’s just as much chance of a cold 6 degree day in December as there is a 34 degree one. The toppings are out of control and the main reason for that summer vibe.
QUINOA BIBIMBAP BOWL WITH SPICY CABBAGE AND BROCCOLI
Well hello there you spicy-flavour-texture-bomb-colourful bowl of goodness you. This is not my first vegetarian bibimbap. It’s more of a green and pink affair than the last one and I’m totally into the colour combo. And the flavours. Everything on this is yelling at you but when you get them all together they harmonise.
LAMB MEATBALLS WITH POMEGRANATE AND MINT ON HERBED YOGHURT SAUCE
I’m a little obsessed with pomegranate and mint at the moment. Whether it’s in a drink or in my grain salads I love it. This easy meatball recipe is finished with both and it brings such a welcome burst of freshness.

This is one of those meals that tastes luxurious and indulgent. The garlic and chilli prawns are full of flavour and are super comforting with the creamy cauliflower puree.
SPRING POWER SALAD
This salad is high in protein and fibre to keep you full for longer and it’s so delicious! Like, surprisingly delicious. I made it for my friend Ally for lunch and she proceeded to message me at 30 second intervals as she ate it saying things like ‘it’s so yummmmm’ ‘Holy shit this salad is delicious’ and the like. She’s very supportive.
