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 ...

Sesame Soba Salad & Grilled Zucchini

15th April 2017

Sesame Soba Salad & Grilled Zucchini

One of my favourite places to eat when we were back in Melbourne was Vegie Bar; so much so, it was our first stop on our way home from Rainbow Serpent for a recovery meal after a long weekend of ingesting warm VB. Everything I’ve eaten there has been delicious, but the dish that’ll keep me going back there time after time is the ...

Pulled BBQ Jackfruit

7th March 2017

Pulled BBQ Jackfruit

Even before going vegan, I had seen numerous bloggers raving about using jackfruit as a substitute for pulled pork, but when you're happy eating the real thing, the idea of fruit in BBQ sauce as a substitute is a little odd to say the least. The photos on Pinterest looked convincing, but I wasn't sold.  It was only a few weeks ago, when ...

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 ...

Spicy Tofu Sushi Burrito

26th March 2016

Spicy Tofu Sushi Burrito

Japan and Mexico have come together to create a beautiful love child; a delicious fusion of two cultures, to make something that isn't quite sushi, and isn't quite a burrito... but damn, it's good. There isn't actually anything Mexican or burrito-like to it, other than the size and the way it's served, but sushi burrito sounds catchier than ...

4 Must-Try Sriracha Recipes

4 Must-Try Sriracha Recipes

If there is one app on my phone I couldn't live without, it would have to be Foodgawker (and Google Maps, obviously, because I'm incapable of getting anywhere without it... but I'm speaking metaphorically here.) I waste a shameful amount of time scrolling through new recipes, so it's no surprise that I've compiled a stomach-turningly long list of ...

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 ...

Lemon & Poppy Seed Yoghurt Pancakes

Lemon & Poppy Seed Yoghurt Pancakes

When it comes to February, some people get excited about Valentine's Day. Not me (and that's not just because I'm a bitter cat lady.) No - I save my excitement for a special day in February that is far more important. Grab the maple syrup because it's nearly Pancake Day. Don't get me wrong, I think pancakes are great, regardless of when they're ...

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 ...

Easy Spicy Cashew and Sesame Sauce

10th January 2016

Easy Spicy Cashew and Sesame Sauce

With only a block of tofu, half a cucumber, a head of broccoli and a handful of mange tout to work with for lunch today, I knew a tasty sauce would be the key to bringing it all together. Plus it gave me a good opportunity to brush the dust off my spiralizer (I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been neglecting the courgetti lately...) This sauce ...

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; ...

Roasted Butternut Squash with Caramelised Onion Polenta

6th November 2015

Roasted Butternut Squash with Caramelised Onion Polenta

I got back from Florida last week and while it was sad to leave the sunshine, I do have to admit I've been loving getting back into the kitchen and of course, being reunited with my beloved winter wardrobe; seriously, how do people in hot countries survive without knitwear in Autumn? I took a trip to Whole Foods the other day and they had an ...

Harissa Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

30th September 2015

Harissa Chickpea Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

I am a strong believer in the notion that there are very few foods that can't be improved with harissa. It's such a great thing to have on hand for adding instant flavour to all sorts of dishes, especially a quick throw-together meal like this. I wanted something warm and comforting with minimal hassle; deep, smoky harissa chickpeas paired with ...

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 ...

Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto with Roasted Kale and Pine Nuts

12th March 2015

Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto with Roasted Kale and Pine Nuts

Risotto is one of my all time favourite comfort foods. Despite a brief glimpse of sunshine this week, it's still pretty damn cold outside, which inspired me to get cooking and make my own recipe. This risotto is definitely a crowd pleaser, and one to whip out when you want to impress your guests.   ...

The Nourish Bowl

The Nourish Bowl

Yesterday was a fast day (I follow 5:2 & wrote about it here if you're interested) and I spent most of my evening scrolling through page after page of Deliciously Ella, dreaming about what I could cook up today. Inspired by the endless bowls of goodness she creates, I had a go at making my own for lunch today, to take into uni with ...
