Charred Broccolini Noodle Bowl with Black Pepper Dressing -gluten-free + vegan-
I was at an event last week in Hamilton, celebrating the launch of Feast Waikato 2020 when I got chatting to one of my food writing friends who mentioned she’d been making this recipe (which first featured in Nourish Magazine late last year) and it reminded me that I’d been meaning to share it here […]
a simple pot of homegrown beans
I grew up eating beans and legumes nearly everyday, it’s what you do when you’re vegetarian. My parents experimented with growing our own on occasion and although I don’t remember back that far, mum has mentioned more than once the time she grew chickpeas herself (it’s on my list of things to grow!). As many […]
Charred broccoli + brown rice salad with green tahini sauce -gluten-free + vegan-

While I could eat a bowlful of these noodles any time of the year, it’s […]

Pumpkin + ginger chutney
And just like that we’re already halfway through the year, I don’t mean to alarm you but it’s less than 6 months until we reach 2020! How is that even possible? Every year I hope things might slow down long enough for me to catch my breath, create recipes for this site and actually have […]
