Brussel sprouts - either you love 'em or you don't. I absolutely adore earthy greens in abundance and quite honestly, can just eat a whole plate full of them. So it only seems fitting that I share a recipe here for anyone wondering about roasting them. You can, of course, steam them too - a superbly [...]
I honestly don't know what everyone else does to make their chutney, especially since there are a gazillion different ways to make it. Today I decided to share my 'conscious kitchen' version for my readers here. I find mango chutney exceedingly more-ish. My version is sweet (but not too sweet) with a warming spicy tang [...]
This just works - it's a real hit and it is very easy to make. You simply need water, onion powder, tamari (or shoyu) and onion powder. Wave a little magic and you are done haha. Well almost! Whilst it can be such a beautiful and soul-inspiring experience to spend time in the kitchen, I [...]
Oh wow, potatoes. They just hit the spot. For an extra special occasion (or just because for no reason what-so-ever) I like to roast them. Roasting brings out their depth, their natural nurturing sweetness and transforms them into something incredibly delicious.

This is, hands down, the best 'easy' sauce I have ever made! Blending tomato with coconut is one of the reasons why divine alchemy works so well in the Conscious Kitchen. This coconut/tomato combination features in many different recipes (just sayin' that in case you are new here). Today we are taking things right back down [...]

It seems that is usually difficult to find decent, pre-bought gluten-free bread with good, wholesome ingredients in. So... let's make our own! Keeping it simple, today I decided to share a popular recipe from [...]
Hummus is fabulous stuff. You can add it to a salad, have it in a sandwich or wrap, enjoy a hearty dollop on a baked potato, dunk veggies or potato wedges in it or simply pop it in some pita bread with falafels. Traditionally hummus was made with chickpeas, tahini, lemon, oil, garlic and salt, [...]
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 [...]
Many years ago I visited my in-laws in Stoke-On-Trent in Staffordshire, England. My ex-husband introduced me to a delightful invention - the 'Staffordshire Oatcake'. Not only were they naturally vegan, but the traditional versions were also wheat-free. We stuffed them with hummus and salad and enjoyed the most delicious lunch. Another time, we rolled them [...]
