Takeout Style Orange Not-Chicken

8th June 2018

Takeout Style Orange Not-Chicken

Back in the days when I used to visit America and subsist almost entirely on chicken tenders, I remember trying a sample of Panda Express orange chicken in a shopping mall. My tastebuds at the time would reject anything remotely natural (or green) and so, of course, I fell in love immediately with the neon orange, gooey sweetness. Despite no longer ...

5 Winter Warmers to Try ❄️

5th June 2018

5 Winter Warmers to Try ❄️

It's been a long, long time since I did a round up of recipes I've tried/plan to try this month. The beginning of June marked the start of winter here in the Southern hemisphere, so I'm craving comforting, hearty foods; soups, bakes, stews and curries full of good-for-me veg. The colder months are definitely my favourite time to be in the kitchen ...

Golden Banana Bread Porridge

1st April 2017

Golden Banana Bread Porridge

I'm all for eating banana bread in the morning (who doesn't love cake for breakfast, am I right?) but I'm also the forever-hungry kind of girl, who needs something a little more satiating, to keep me alive until lunch time and stop me reaching for the vegemite toast at 10am. For me, a bowl of porridge is just that; warm and filling feel-good ...

Matcha Avocado Smoothie

9th March 2017

Matcha Avocado Smoothie

Our first stop in Melbourne was a beautiful little apartment right in the centre of the city, living with the sweetest couple. Clearly Olivia and I babbled on way too much about how much we love matcha and avocado, because they decided to surprise us one day with this delicious matcha avocado smoothie. It's a really simple but delicious recipe, ...

Green Quinoa

30th April 2016

Green Quinoa

One of my all time favourite cook books has to be Mexican Food Made Simple* by Thomasina Miers (who is the mastermind behind the successful Wahaca restaurant chain, also known as my favourite place in London to pig out and drink tequila.) The book is filled with recipes inspired by her travels; burritos, churros and tacos galore. There ...

Roasted Butternut Squash & Spinach Spelt Rigatini

19th April 2016

Roasted Butternut Squash & Spinach Spelt Rigatini

I know it's probably a massive faux pas to be cooking butternut squash at this time of year, especially as I try to eat with the seasons when I can, but I'm just going to throw this pretty bowl of deliciousness out there and ask you pretend it's Autumn and this is the perfect dish. I was feeling something healthy but filling, and spelt pasta ...

Avocado, Mango & Radish Brown Rice Sushi

17th April 2016

Avocado, Mango & Radish Brown Rice Sushi

I'm back with another sushi recipe! I didn't actually plan to post this one, as it was my usual throw together the contents of the fridge and call it a meal, but I really loved the combination of creamy avocado, sweet mango and fresh peppery radish, rolled up in nutty brown sushi rice.  These sushi rolls are simple, healthy and ...

Tropical Granola

14th March 2016

Tropical Granola

Trust me to pick the gloomiest day to make and photograph my tropical granola - British weather 1, Grace 0.  Granola is easily my favourite way to start the day. Weekdays, anyway... don't take away my eggs Benedict/Bloody Mary just yet. There's something about oats, seeds and nuts that really sets me up for a busy day. I don't know about you ...

Cherry Chia Pudding with Pistachios

11th February 2016

Cherry Chia Pudding with Pistachios

Chia pudding is one of those things I go through phases with; somedays I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and other days I feel it can be very 'blah.' It really depends on how much effort and thought you're willing to put into the preparation - the key to a good chia pudding is a tasty flavour base. Chia seeds, as great for you as ...

The Good Life Eatery, Chelsea

6th February 2016

The Good Life Eatery, Chelsea

I don't often venture into Chelsea - much to the relief of my bank balance - but while I was in the area visiting the latest exhibition, Champagne Life, at the Saatchi Gallery, I decided a quick detour via The Good Life Eatery was needed. Situated on Sloane Avenue, The Good Life Eatery is the kind of place you could easily walk past, but once ...

Carrot, Mango, Orange & Ginger Juice

24th January 2016

Carrot, Mango, Orange & Ginger Juice

I caved. I caved and I got a juicer, after my protests of "I really like smoothies, I don't need a juicer in my life" and "why would I buy a juicer when I could just buy the juices?" I'll tell you why, Grace of the past, because juicers are freakin' great. I was spending an unholy amount of money on ready made green juices when I could've ...

So Long 2015… Hello Sweet Potato Chilli

31st December 2015

So Long 2015… Hello Sweet Potato Chilli

I always find myself feeling a bit strange on the last day of every year - partly because I'm thinking where did the last twelve months go/what have I done with my life but more so this year because I feel sad that such a good year has to come to an end. And 2015 has definitely been one of the best, so far. I travelled more than ever before; ...

Pear & Ginger Porridge

24th April 2015

Pear & Ginger Porridge

I came up with this recipe as part of my food writing project on breakfast (quite possibly the best project ever) and I've finally got round to sharing it on my blog! It combines sweet shredded pear with the restorative warmth of fresh ginger, to give your morning porridge a kick. I like to top mine with pecans and a drizzle of agave. If ...
