Spring salad bowls

Versions of this salad bowl have been on high rotation around our house of late. Due to health problems I may or may not one day talk about on here, both my husband and I are eating a super rigid diet for the next little while. A diet without grains, dairy and any and every […]
Beetroot curry + seeni sambol and photos from my Sri Lanka trip: Part two

I’ve been in my thoughts a lot this year. Big life changes will do that I suppose. I miss my friends in Australia every damn day and I’d be lying if I said my heart didn’t hurt just a little when I think of them, and all my other friends who live far far away… […]
Sri Lankan inspired asparagus curry + pics from my trip: Part one

Roasted purple cauliflower and sprouted lentil salad w/ yoghurt lime dressing + a little look around our garden…

I have moments of really missing Perth. Mostly it’s my friends that I miss (like crazy, everyday) but I also miss my old local farmers market. We tried so hard to grow veggies in Perth, but found it pretty hard going in the hot and sandy soils of the West. The farmers markets were my […]
