Chargrilled Purple Asparagus with Pine nut Dressing
Some would argue that tasty veggie sides can completely elevate a meal and I have to agree, especially when it’s made with the prettiest of purple asparagus that just so happens to be in the midst of it’s fleeting season right now! Make the most of it while you can. It’s lovely eaten raw […]
Herbed Asparagus + Brown Rice Salad
Our asparagus plants aren’t quite at the stage of producing a lot just yet, we’ve waited patiently for the last few years as the crown establish themselves and this year we got just a handful of tender spears. None made it into the house, and instead were shared between my husband and I, eaten raw […]
White bean soup with kale + pumpkin seed pesto

Creamy Kohlrabi Soup
My love for kohlrabi runs deep. While sadly still not the most well-known of vegetables, I was lucky enough to grow up eating homegrown kohlrabi as my parents had an extensive veggie garden. If you’re someone who fights over the broccoli stalk (me!), then you’ll love kohlrabi’s crunchy brassica vibe. I mostly eat them raw, […]
Pumpkin + Kimchi Fried Rice (Vegan)
Kimchi fried rice is one of my favourite quick and easy flavour-bomb meals as the kimchi does all the heavy lifting on the flavour front, so much so that you hardly have to add anything else to the rice. But here, the addition of teeny tiny little nuggets of tender diced pumpkin adds a lovely […]
