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 husband (now affectionately my ex) introduced me to a delightful invention - the 'Staffordshire Oatcake'. Not only were they naturally vegan, the traditional versions were also wheat-free. We stuffed them with hummus and salad and enjoyed the most delicious lunch. Another time, [...]
I think I could live on avocado! In fact when I go to visit somewhere where avocados grow naturally, then that's exactly what I do ha ha! I am visiting Kauai, the Garden Isle of Hawaii at the moment. There are local avocados growing here in abundance. Not just any old avo's, but the mast [...]
Beetroot hummus! This is where I get really excited. It's the taste. It's the incredible nutritional profile. Oh my goodness - it's that colour! When I make food for groups, it brings me a lot of joy to make sure there is a magical dance of colours on the table at lunch time. Nothing quite [...]
I think by now, most of us are well acquainted with regular hummus. Most of us love hummus because it fulfils that need for something creamy, tasty and filling. It has a sort of 'hard to describe' citrusy - tahini - garlic - chickpea fusion. It's the prefect plant-based food full of healthy essential fats, high [...]
This week I've decided to share my delicious beetroot inspired masala dahl recipe. This rather easy blend, contains leeks, red lentils, tomatoes (in the form of passata/crushed tomatoes), garam masala and a hint of coconut. The flavours all dance and entwine in the pot, to create a wonderful feast of deliciousness. It's an economical dish, [...]
In some parts of the world the aubergine is called eggplant. I live in England, so in this article, I am going to refer to it as 'aubergine'. What's not to love about the aubergine! When picked raw it has a sort of spongy, proud texture. It comes in lots of different colours and varieties [...]
Flash back moment... to making jam when I was a little girl in my Mam's kitchen. Beautiful! Such a joy to see fruits magically turn into a little jars of sweet deliciousness. But, oh goodness me, it did seem to take forever to make (and involved an unfortunate amount of sugar - yikes!). Easy healthy [...]
Hemp seeds play a rather important role in my life, featuring almost daily in my cuisine. In fact, if you ever came over to my house for dinner, you'd likely find them appearing somewhere on the plate. If they aren't in a topping, sauce or pie base, you'd likely see them appearing as part of [...]
I was taking a peek through my recipe book Angelicious the other day. The only problem with my book is that it's full of so many deliciously healthy recipes, that I never know where to start! On this occasion I was looking for an easy side dish. There is indeed something for every occasion, bakes, veggies [...]
