Move over limp lettuce and soggy cucumber... we want delicious, filling, hearty magical salads, and, we want them now š¤£! It's no exaggeration to say that I've spent my whole adult life getting excited about making good salads. Whether I am serving people on retreats (I am a plant-based retreat chef) or teaching others how [...]
Roast potatoes are a very popular addition to Sunday Dinner here in the UK. Traditionally they are drenched in fat and crisped to perfection. My favourite method however is to create delicious roasties out of baby potatoes, with the skins still on. Using baby potatoes means each little potato can keep on the entirety of [...]
That colour! Not only did I want something bright and cheery, but I also wanted something flavourful, something that holds together well, tastes delicious, keeps for a few days (or freezes), and serves both hot and cold.

Chickpea flour (also known as gram flour, besan flour, and garbanzo bean flour, depending on where you are located) is a nutrient-rich ingredient. It is especially suited to inexpensive, gluten-free baking. Chickpea flour is loaded with manganese, magnesium, thiamine, folic [...]
I adore my work - at this point in time, my work primarily involves working as a chef on various retreats. It delights me to keep playing and developing new recipes. I get to serve up delicious plant-based cuisine for groups of between 8 and 40 people. An honour. Recently I was asked to serve [...]
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 [...]
During my travels to Vancouver Island, a friend and I picked up some locally grown parsnips from an organic farm stand... and then it happened. Parsnip & Potato Farinata.
