This red curry pumpkin soup is all kinds of yum and combines two of my favourite things to eat in winter: curry and soup! What could be better? Oh I know, getting a little naughty and topping it with crispy shallots and coconut cream.
ROAST KIPFLER AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH ROMESCO DRESSING
A new spin on a warm potato salad but with way more vegetables and a dressing that’ll make you forget all about mayo. Basically, it’s the perfect winter salad. It’s full of winter vegetables and can be served warm or cold. The dressing is super tasty and the only part of this salad that takes a teensy bit of effort to make.
LOTUS ROOT FRITTER WRAPS WITH PERSIMMON SALSA AND AVOCADO
I’ve seen a few pics on Instagram lately of lotus root fritters. I’ve never tried them, but they looked so good and crispy and crunchy so I thought I’d give them a shot. So glad I did, a new favourite lunch was born in these wraps.
BROCCOLI SOUP WITH GOATS CHEESE AND BASIL
I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately so eating a bucket load of green vegetables and slurping soup just felt like the right thing to do. This is a super tasty broccoli soup full of herbs and finished with goats cheese for some extra yum. It’s also really easy to make which is just what you want on a glum winter night.
MISO NOODLES WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
Mmmmmm miso paste. You are a fermented joy of salty stickiness and depth of flavour. And you make these soba noodles delicious. The slippery noodles, still crunchy wilted greens and crispy bits of roasted cauliflower mean this noodle dish has a lot of yum going on.
STICKY, SLOW ROASTED SWEET POTATO
This is the best way to eat sweet potato. Hands down. It’s even better than the loaded fries recipe I’ll be posting next week. Maybe. Okay, not better, just different. Don’t make me choose between types of potatoes, that’s mean! I love them all with equal abandon. This particular rendition of sweet potato is unctuous (what a word amirite?!), sticky, glazed, sweet and salty goodness. Get ready to learn that patience is a virtue because it lands you glorious things like this.
MIDDLE EASTERN SPICED CARROT AND PARSNIP SALAD
The perfect winter salad. It’s super filling and full of ingredients that should be relatively cheap to get your hands on right now, which is always a plus. Oh and it tastes delicious! Why would you eat it otherwise?
CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH PARMESAN AND QUINOA CRISPS
It’s that time of the year again. The time for soups. And the time for cauliflower. Two things I am happy to post about regularly sorry if it gets boring. Actually I’m not sorry at all, cauliflower is delicious. As is soup.
VEGETARIAN TIKKA MASALA
I love curry, at all times of the year but in winter curry gains a special place in my heart. Anything spicy just makes me feel warm inside and curry is comfort food. This one is full of vegetables and super filling. It’s the perfect weeknight meal and freezes well too, and that means on a future weeknight your meal will be even easier.
PUMPKIN, FREEKAH AND BUFFALO MOZZARELLA SALAD WITH BASIL PESTO
This salad is relatively simple to make so is the perfect thing to prep at the start of the week for a few lunches. With the pesto, mozzarella and caramelised pumpkin the flavours pack a punch and make for a satisfying meal.
