Bánh xèo, mango jelly and a thank you…
New Years eve itself was a non-event in our house. Si and I stayed up watching a great documentary, coincidentally about a dance school in India my dear friend is attending right now, before starting to watch this amazing film until our eyes grew too sleepy and we stumbled into bed at… 10.30pm. I know, what? Super Nanas. When you […]
purple carrot salad with feta + herbs recipe

vegan mango jelly with strawberry + mint salad recipe
Sometimes it’s funny how things turn out. Right when we were starting to feel like the world was turning against us (hurt ankle, broken leg, bung computer, notice to vacate our house… you get the picture) a little light in the form of two mango trees appears at the end of the tunnel. It’s such […]
