Dahl makhani is usually a tomato based curry that is heavy on the butter and cream. I love it but that amount of butter and cream can leave e feeling a little ick. It could also be all the onion. So I came up with this onion free, lighter version that’s still creamy in texture and full of fragrant flavour.
BREAKFAST TACOS WITH NECTARINE AND AVOCADO SALSA
This is a surprisingly easy breakfast or lunch as scrambled eggs take no time at all to prep. It’s also fresh and tasty and has protein, omega 3’s, vegetables and fruit in it – a super well rounded meal!
EASY LENTIL SALAD
An easy and tasty salad you can whip up in ten minutes if you have cooked lentils on hand. 30 minutes if you need to cook them first. It’s so good for lunches or as a lazy and nutritious dinner.
PITA CHIP VEGETARIAN ‘NACHOS’
Confession: these aren’t really nachos. They aren’t made using corn chips because when they craving took I only had some slightly less than fresh pita bread on hand. I hate waste so wanted to use it and these were born from what was in my fridge/pantry. The perfect lazy, waste free dinner and so delicious I made them 3 times in a week.
RED CURRY PUMPKIN SOUP
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.
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?
