What’s your go to fry? Thick cut? A wedge? Skinny lil string fries? And how do you feel about sweet potato fries? I’m a big fan, but only when they’re crispy and that sweet flavour is balanced with some spice!
Cauliflower Fritters with Coconut Curry Mayo
The KEEN’S curry powder adds so much warmth and flavour to these golden cauliflower fritters and the coconut curry mayo you serve them with. They’re easy to make and perfect for any time of the day. If you’re feeling fancy, serve them as a starter when you’re throwing a dinner party.
Cacio e Pepe Cauliflower Bites
I love simple flavour combinations and cacio Pepe pasta is one of my favourite meals. And Parmesan cheese and black pepper just belong together. Fragrant pepper and the umami saltiness of fresh cracked blacked pepper are a great time, cauliflower is the perfect vehicle to let them shine.
Zucchini, Potato and Pecorino Gratin
This easy, delicious vegetable bake is the perfect side dish or also works for lunch with a simple green side salad. So easy and full of fresh flavour. I love it with a little basil thrown over the top because basil + zucchini is a summer dream.
Pumpkin, Sundried Tomato and Haloumi Pie
I love a pie in winter. Flakey pastry encasing a delicious savoury filling – it’s my favourite. And yep I’m much more into a savoury pie than a sweet one and I totally get that a savoury pumpkin pie problem sets alarm bells off for any North American followers. But in this part of the world pumpkin is a savoury thing, thus my savoury pumpkin pie.
Cumin Spiced Mushroom Crispy Rice Bowl
This whole ‘recipe’ is designed to be messed with! The core components are just the rice and mushrooms, what else you put with it is up to you and the contents of your fridge! You want to think about acid, extra protein and crunch. More on that below!
Lemony Brown Butter with Greens and Radishes
This is everything. The perfect Christmas side, a decadent pile of greens that are taken to an entirely new level by the lemony brown butter that coats them. Salt, fat and acid harmonising over bright fresh greens and those little radish wedges that are transformed by the butter. The secret to this dish is using a beautiful good quality butter, like Lewis Road Creamery who have oh so kindly sponsored this post and make incredible grass fed butter.

Chipotle and Parmesan Carrot Tacos
I spent many years thinking that tacos were the kind of food I only craved in summer…. this year is proving me wrong especially in the vegetarian tacos game. By roasting winter vegetables you can make a yummy and totally winter appropriate taco. Serve these to a large group as a starter or just between two of you as a yummy meal.
