salt + vinegar kale chips recipe {revisited]
So, as some of you may know… I’m a virgo, and a Galloway (yes, that’s a double whammy). What this basically means is that I’m a perfectionist. A painfully anal perfectionist. There, said it. Understand that this is both a blessing and a curse. Right, now that that’s clear there are a few things that […]
creamy split pea, carrot + sumac soup recipe {vegan}
Yesterday was one of those days where a roaring fireplace wouldn’t have gone astray. The drizzle hung around most of the day, making me feel like I was back home in NZ. From the moment I woke I had soup on my mind. Growing up I’m pretty sure there was a constant supply of soup […]
little raw carrot cakes with orange maple cream {gluten + dairy-free} to celebrate 3 years!

celeriac + beet salad with lemon, chilli + mint recipe
A few weeks ago I went out for lunch at Jamie’s new restaurant in the city with a few of my friends. We’d been talking about doing it since it opened a few months ago, but trying to get a table booked any earlier than November made us think that maybe it wasn’t going to […]
