My whole house has delightful vibrant, spicy aroma right now. I've just made another batch of my favourite homemade Chinese 5 Spice mix and I thought it was a good time to share the recipe with you here. Chinese five spice is traditionally used in Chinese and Taiwanese cooking - often to flavour meat and [...]
Crunch! A delectably delicious crunch! That's what I love about making this type of gluten-free 5 spice biscuit. This version has a spicy kick with my homemade Chinese Five Spice blend being the star of the show. You take a bite (and after the delight of that crunch) you go on a bit of an [...]
Breakfast this morning! I fancied something fruity and vibrant to start the day and decided to make a classic 'blueberry hempster smoothie'. It's simple and involves ripe banana, blueberries, shelled hemp seeds (also known as hemp seed hearts) and cashews. This blueberry hempster smoothie is one of the most nutrient-dense recipes in my healthy [...]
Finally! I can't believe I haven't shared this one on my blog so far, especially since it is one of the most common types of salads that I make - a constant crowd-pleaser and a 'must make' when creating a healthy buffet for groups of people. I have been making this (in its various guises) [...]
I was at a friends house recently where she treated me to the most divine hot chocolate, made with homemade cashew date milk. Oh my word! Heavenly. I believe that she'd intended to make it with almonds, although since she hadn't had time to soak them in advance, she opted for cashews instead. It reminded [...]
So there are chocolate brownies and there are raw chocolate hemp seed brownies! Here, in this recipe, we are talking brownies filled with so much goodness that you'll wonder why ever in the world we would need to eat sugar and wheat-filled sweet stuff again. It's true. I am easily excited when making superfood [...]
I am exceedingly fond of my adventures in healthy vegan mango no-churn ice cream making. Making ice cream with coconut and dried fruits is a wonderful art that came to me in a vision many moons ago and it sort of transformed my decadent dessert options rather rapidly. It's not just being able to make [...]
I've been wanting to share this recipe for ages. It's so simple that I kept forgetting to post it here on my blog! Today I am sharing the basic recipe for making perfect yellow turmeric rice so that you can learn how to make this in a way that can't go wrong. I've also created a [...]
As I made this pineapple smoothie recipe, I remembered the first time I drove past a pineapple field. I was in Maui with my partner at the time (we are talking 23 years ago now) and I was like 'OMG I thought pineapples grew on trees'. He said, well you'd be surprised, most people actually [...]
I love that name 'Bodhi'. So I named this compassionate chocolate topped raw vegan bar after it. I think it means enlightenment... so maybe if you make these it's your fastest path to enlightenment haha! I actually put my forehead against a Bodhi tree once in Kauai, Hawaii. It was a magical moment. My [...]
