Pumpkin + Jackfruit Curry (Vegan)
Nothing symbolises autumn (fall) more for me than pumpkins. Harvested in autumn, they are cheap and plentiful right about now. They’re also good keepers, if stored somewhere cool and with good airflow, meaning they’re one of my favourite vegetables to grow and eat throughout the cooler months. That said, it’s only May and we’re nearly […]
Quinoa Carrot Bowls with Lemon Sesame Dressing (gluten-free + vegan)
It’s at this time of year when I start to crave something a little warmer for dinner, but I’m not quite ready to go into full winter comfort food mode, just yet. That’s when lightly cooked salad bowls come into their own. Just enough freshness, but still nourishing and warming too. This bowl couldn’t get […]

Cucumber, mint + lime ice blocks
The one thing my kids have always craved in the middle of winter and/or when sick with a cold, is cucumbers. They love them so much and will happily munch on a whole one like one would eat an apple. Sadly for them I don’t often buy cucumbers over winter, unless we’re really desperate (or […]
Herb quiches with tomato salsa (Gluten + dairy-free)
– – If you guys have been here for awhile, and especially if you follow my garden stories over on Instagram, you’ll know I’m more than a little obsessed with growing heirloom tomatoes. I grow my own from seed (mostly saved seeds, but I can’t help myself from adding one or two new ones every […]
Pineapple + basil cordial
We run out of ice on a daily basis at the moment. Everyone fights over the last remaining pieces in the freezer, hoping there’ll be just enough to at least cool their drink, if not chill. I’m not one to usually crave iced drinks and much prefer to drink room temperature for most of the […]
