Happy Sunday lovely humans! I’m in Daylesford this weekend at a Herbalist Yoga and Meditation Retreat cooking for the wonderful guests. It’s been a blissful weekend in the kitchen interspersed with bush walks, meditation, salt baths and good conversation. I’ll be sharing all the recipes for the things I made with you all soon!
It’s also mere days until I head off to London! I booked a last minute trip and am so excited about it. Send me tips please! I’ve been a few times now but always like to hear new tips for food, bars and so on so come at me.
This week’s meal plans are staying firmly planted in summer though! I have salads and noodles, lettuce cups and hummus for you. Not to mention an eggplant ragu because the garden here in Daylesford is full of eggplants and a garden is exactly where I should be taking inspiration!
Plan A
Day 1: Corn, Avocado, Manchego and Quinoa Salad. This salad tastes like summer and is super quick to make.
Day 2: Bok Choy and Pork Soba Noodle Bowl. A super delicious dinner.
Day 3: Israeli Cous Cous Salad with Fennel, Avocado and Salmon, so simple and easy!
Day 4: Gnocchi in a Rich Eggplant, Tomato and Basil Sauce. The basil, Eggplant and Tomatoes are all abundant in gardens at the moment making this a summer ragu!
Day 5: Crispy Chicken and Pickled Radish Lettuce Cups, chicken thighs rolled up in lettuce leaves is the perfect summer dinner.
Plan B
Day 1: Lentil ‘Meatballs’ with Noodles and Coconut Curry Sauce, I haven’t made these vegetarian meatballs in far too long, I know it sounds weird but it’s gooooood.
Day 2: Corn, Avocado, Manchego and Quinoa Salad, a great salad for lunches too.
Day 3: Gnocchi in a Rich Eggplant, Tomato and Basil Sauce. The meatiness of eggplant is a great replacement for meat in this ragu.
Day 4: Summer Chickpea Salad with Hummus and Slow Roasted tomatoes: A little mezze spread for dinner.
Day 5: Tofu and Spinach Pot Stickers. It’s Friday, eat dumplings for dinner:)
Aaaaannnnd…. Mango and Coconut Icey Poles are always a good idea!
