Oatcakes were an alternative to bread in Scotland for centuries, and, still very much enjoyed there. Oats are one of the only grains that grow in Northern parts of Scotland, so it makes perfect sense that it would have been a staple food in times past. Traditionally made with oatmeal, oatcakes are a crunchy, [...]
Hands up who loves pakora? Pakora is a traditional Indian fritter made with vegetables that are coated with a crispy batter. Usually deep fried, they are also known as pakoda, pakodi and bhaji and served as a snack or appetizer along with a dipping sauce or chutney. Enjoying them as part of your main meal [...]
Tacos are awesome traditional Mexican food, made with a shell of ground corn. Today, that is what I am getting excited about here in my kitchen because I've created the most delectably delicious 'Kind Earth Kitchen' version of these little beauties. I think you will love 'em! A taco is basically a 'tortilla' folded or [...]
Once upon a time, I thought it would be fun to make spring rolls. Naturally, as common sense would have it, I followed the instructions on the rice paper wrap packet. Pretty simple you would think.

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. There are lots of ways to do roasties, although I always prefer to use [...]
