Yes I realise we’ve just had a heatwave of a weekend. But it’s cooled down a little now, and it’s winter in the other half of the world so I know some of you are going to feel like curry. Personally, I always feel like curry. I don’t think it’s just winter comfort food as a lot of countries that serve curry as a staple are typically warm balmy year round weather places. So this is summer appropriate. Plus it’s so friggin good. It’s my favourite dahl, creamy and fragrant and really easy to make.
New year new you right? This year I’m changing it up a little and starting some weekly meal plans for you all. Each week there will be Meal Plan A (Vegetarian) and Meal Plan B (Meat Eater). They will include 5 nights of meal suggestions, photos to get you salivating and links to all the recipes. I’ll also chuck in a breakfast, lunch or snack recipe every now and then because I need variety in my life and I’m sure someone else out there does too!
Summer, you glorious season you. Time for eating in the sun outside, easy salads and colourful lunch bowls. Just like this one. This little bowl is easy to make and is the perfect thing if you’re heading back to work this next week.
Salmon baked in a bag for the win! It’s 2017 and I feel like this recipe is a bit of a 90’s throw back or something. But done in a modern way with the healthy grains and shredded veg right? I think… Anyway this is super easy and you can use any grains you like. I love the nutty combo of barley and quinoa with the vegetables and omega 3 rich salmon.
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.
I’m back! There’s been a few days of silence while I gave myself a little holiday break but I think it’s time to start sharing with you all again. This recipe is so delicious! Filled with extra veg and the perfect thing to serve with a simple green salad, I can’t wait for you to try it.
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…
This salad is so pretty and full of flavour. it combines a couple of my favourite things… hummus and cauliflower. I’ve been really into loading roasted cauliflower onto hummus lately and then scooping it all up with some flat bread… or just a fork. But I felt I could make the whole thing look less beige. So now we have this.
This is such a simple dish but so delicious that I had to share the recipe with you. The perfect summer food thanks to the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil – and the fact you won’t need the oven on!
At this time of year this is one of my favourite risottos. It’s flavoursome and delicate, you don’t need many ingredients and it’s filling without seeming as super heavy as other risottos.
