Roasted eggplant with pomegranate molasses dressing
Eggplants are one of the very few vegetables I never really liked growing up (mushrooms and green capsicums were the other two) and it wasn’t until adulthood that I learnt to really love them. Done right they really are something quite special, and one of my all time favourite ways to prepare them is simply […]
Grilled zucchini + spinach salad with roasted capsicum (red pepper) dressing
The air in the morning and evenings has been decidedly cool this past week. I always find it funny how it just seems to creep up on you here in NZ. One day you’re sweltering in the sticky heat of summer, finding it hard to imagine it will ever cool down, then bam, it’s autumn. […]
roasted carrot hummus
We seem to go on food-benders in our family. One week it will be sushi the kids request daily, the next week they won’t want to know about sushi but instead crave cheese and crackers, but for quite some time hummus has been the favoured after-school snack. When I’m caught out and haven’t had time […]
Sprouted lentil bites with coriander lime sauce (vegan + gluten-free)
So, now I’ve shared my go-to method for sprouting all-the-things you’re probably wondering ‘yeah but Emm, now what do I do with them?’. Not to worry, I’m going to be sharing a bunch of recipes using sprouts over the next few weeks in the hopes that you’ll be inspired to give sprouting a go, starting […]
Roasted carrot, quinoa + corn salad with jalapeno lime dressing (vegan + gluten-free)
When you get a call at 3.30pm inviting you to a potluck BBQ that evening, and you’re a gluten-free vegetarian, this salad might just save you. It saved me. Knowing I needed to create something substantial enough to pass as dinner (in case it was the only thing my kids and I could eat) I […]
Roasted strawberry + ginger ‘ice cream’ (gluten-free + vegan)
As many of you already know from reading my first cookbook, I grew up eating frozen banana ‘ice cream’, waaaay before it became the current ‘nice-cream’ craze. Mum would freeze ripe bananas and blend them up with a little soy milk, with the addition of carob powder and a touch of honey if we were […]
roasted baby carrot, leek + quinoa salad
I’ve just spent the last 3 days on school camp with over 70 children, in the city. While the kids had an awesome time- me, I missed the quietness of home. I know many people couldn’t imagine living anywhere else but in a city (especially if they know nothing else) and while I do love […]
