buckwheat pancakes with warm vanilla berries {gluten + dairy-free} + a cookbook giveaway!
I own a lot of cookbooks. If my husband Si was telling this story he would definitely be using expletives by now and would be going on about how my cookbooks are no longer contained to the one shelf above the T.V. He would be saying they now occupy premium space under the desk, beside […]
black bean + quinoa tacos with avocado, coriander + lime sauce {gluten-free + vegan}
When we were little, we didn’t do barbecues at home. I guess it was the thinking of the time, that only meat can be cooked on one of them. And being well, vegetarian, meant we didn’t even own one. When invited over to friends for barbecues my mum would buy one packet of vegetarian sausages […]
kohlrabi, beetroot + apple salad with parsley + lime

It feels like forever since I’ve been here. Really it’s only been a week or so, but life has been so busy these school holidays that to be honest I’ve not had even one second to pull a recipe together to share, until today. It’s been an eventful few weeks with trips to the beach, […]

spicy rice noodle salad with pickled vegetables + sesame soy dressing {vegan + gluten-free}
If you’ve been around here for a while you will have noticed I love fresh herbs. I don’t do the “add 1 tablespoon” thing. I go the whole hog and use fresh herbs such as mint, basil and coriander (cilantro) with reckless abandon, throwing in huge handfuls of each into my salads and using them in […]
creamy pink smoothie {vegan}
There’s quite a few things that Si and I do differently. I don’t eat meat, he does. I like to eat healthily, he doesn’t always. He likes salty, I like sweet. I only eat 1-2 bits of fruit a day, he’s a fruit bat. I drink herb tea, he drinks coffee. I eat homemade gluten-free […]
