Why hello there 2018! I’ve let you roll in kind of quietly without making too much of a fuss in this little corner of the internet. None of that new year new me stuff over here. New year, same me is more my vibe. That doesn’t mean I haven’t got lots of exciting plans happening that I can’t wait to share with you all but there’s not going to be any sudden changes to the scheduled programming, that’s for sure. No diets or resolutions. Just good food and happy times. With that in mind this happy belly making dahl is something I’m oh so happy to share with you to bring in the new year.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Spring Onion and Chickpea Quick Flatbread
 This flatbread is vegan, gluten free and stupidly easy to make. It’s what I make when I have next to nothing in the cupboards and want a vehicle for toast toppings. without toast. The extra virgin olive oil and chickpea flour works so well together and the finely chopped spring onions add a burst of flavour. Easy, delicious any time of the day food is what I’m about.
Mango and Coconut Icey Poles
Roasted Radish, Chickpea and Avocado Salad
If you’ve never roasted a radish you have to try this recipe. It changes their texture and mellows out the flavour a little and they’re so good. Especially with the creamy avocado and the fresh and simple dressing. This salad was made for consuming on warm evenings or afternoons or just scattered over some crunchy sourdough.
Fried Tempeh, Black Rice And Avocado Bowl With Golden Beet And Edamame Salad
This is a bowl of goodness, just look a all the colours and textures you can see – so perfect! I made it with golden beetroot because I could get my hands on them but any beetroot would work.

Carrot Cake Chia Pudding
How great is carrot cake? And how good is chia pudding? Why haven’t I tried to combine the two before? I mean, it’s also a brilliant way of including an extra serve of vegetables at breakfast. Plus it’s filled with warm spices and makes your kitchen smell amazing.
SZECHUAN AND PEANUT GREEN BEANS
Hands down the best side ever. If you’re not into the mouth numbing Szechuan pepper thing then just leave it. But also, stop being a wuss 😉
SWEET POTATO, SPINACH AND CASHEW CURRY
This is a simple and delicious curry that can be made in less than half an hour. You can have it by itself, with a pile of greens or as part of a banquet type shared food situation.
PESTO, BROCCOLI AND BABY POTATO SALAD
I might be a little obsessed with this pesto and this salad. And the two together. Mostly the two together. There’s something about potatoes smothered in pesto that’s all kinds of right. Plus potato salad has long been a favourite food of mine… I just don’t usually make it this green!
