This Vegan Hot Chocolate with Cashews and Hemp Seeds is currently my favourite drink... by a long stretch! It's made differently to any of the hot chocolate recipes I've ever shared before and - dare I say, is the best drinking chocolate I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Last year I had a [...]
Moringa delights me! The moringa tree is said to be one of the most nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich foods on our planet. It thrives where other plants fail and has been used traditionally in Asia, Africa, and South America to treat a myriad of different ailments for a long time. Those of us who don't live in [...]
Today is a perfect day to share my healing ginger smoothie recipe. So, I fell down some steps nearly a week ago. It was a sort of pitch black moment of distraction. I completely missed the last step, doubling over on my foot, giving it a very nasty twist. Oh my goodness, did I ever [...]
Let's talk about rissoto with leftover rice. Turmeric rice is always popular for this dish (I mean who doesn't adore that gorgeous yellow). You can just use plain rice or whatever you like of course (to be honest, I've used quinoa, millet, and barley for this - if you get the idea). I am like [...]
I am always up for a creamy golden rice pudding. Recently I was thinking of ways that I can use up the rather large 3-kilo bag of organic rice that I currently have in my pantry. And then rice pudding happened! Like magic. With coconut milk and turmeric. Divine alchemy! Add a touch of natural [...]

It is especially suited to inexpensive, gluten-free baking. Chickpea flour is loaded with manganese, magnesium, thiamine, folic [...]
The Crown Prince squash has an unmistakable, thick steely blue skin. With deep orange flesh inside, the little treasure from the plant kingdom has a gorgeous, rich nutty, sweet flavour. Crown Prince is of my favourite types of squash and so I was rather delighted to be given a couple of these beauties the other [...]
I adore my work - at this point in time, my work primarily involves working as a chef on various retreats. It makes me happy to keep playing with and developing new recipes. Today I am sharing one such recipe that happened by chance (and has been a winner for the last few years). [...]
Here's a little magical treat that I've been making for years since I discovered how rewarding it was to make your own jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Infused with choice ingredients, this is rather delicious. This is my ginger version. It makes a frequent appearance when I am making food for people. I use it to [...]
Let's look at this delicious vegan matcha drink. Did you know that matcha can be an excellent calming, anti-anxiety drink? I found this out a couple of years ago when going through a rough patch (we’ll say a ‘rough patch’ shall we and leave it at that lol!). I was researching various anti-anxiety herbs [...]
