Cardamom, pistachio + rose chocolate crackles (vegan + gluten-free)
Winter has decided to arrive overnight here in New Zealand and after the long hot summer we’ve been blessed with, it’s come as a bit of a shock to the system. The beanies and scarves are out, slippers too. I’ve been drinking copious cups of tea to keep warm and while it’s nice to have […]
Sprouted mung bean curry (vegan)
When the weather cools enough to warrant a jumper and socks in the morning, but not yet a beanie, this is the kind of curry I crave. Light and fragrant enough to be nourishing and warming at this time of year, but not exactly the stick-to-your-ribs type food I crave in the depths of winter. […]
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?’.

How to: Sprout mung beans, lentils, grains + more…
While the hippies amongst us have always known about the goodness contained in sprouts (my mum used to send us to school with a peanut butter + alfalfa sprout sandwich, remember?), it’s only been in recent years that this preparation method has entered collective conscience. I’ve been asked a bunch of times if […]
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 […]
