broccoli soup with tahini, lemon and pine nut za’atar + a trip to the Southern Forests…

I’m continuing on with my cookbook theme today, but this time it’s a little closer to home. After nearly four years of living in Western Australia I finally feel like I’m really getting to know this place and it’s people, but other than the odd trip out of town I haven’t really experienced much of […]
vanilla chia pudding (gluten-free + vegan)

I think I’ve said this before, but this year really does seem to be the year of the cookbook! (Next week I have another amazing one to talk about too!). So many cookbooks have been released, and so many more are in the works…. especially in the food blogging world! It’s fair to say that […]
no-bake chocolate granola cookies (gluten + dairy-free)

I came across a cookbook at the library the other day (I won’t name it, but it was released this year by a reputable Australian publisher), which contains loads of recipe which are labeled as gluten-free… but all use spelt flour. Around the same time someone in a NZ Coeliac Disease facebook group which I’m […]
zucchini, millet + mint salad with coriander dressing

As I’ve already mentioned a bunch of times, I often have leftover millet or quinoa hanging around in the fridge from a previous meal. More often than not this gets used up the next day as a salad or sometimes patties. I recently saw these beautiful zucchini (aka courgette in NZ) at my local greengrocers, […]
eggplant + tomato curry with buttered millet

It’s such a funny thing being in contact with so many people from all corners of the world on a daily basis. When we’re in the midst of our cold winters (yes, it does get cold here in Perth… for a moment at least!), all my friends from the top part of the world are […]
warm puy lentils w/ spiced cavolo nero {gluten-free + vegan}

I did something the other day, that I’ve never before been able to do… I did a proper cartwheel! Whipdy-woo you say, but hear me out. I’ve always been the near six-foot girl who doesn’t have the upper body strength to hold her rather large frame. Chin ups ain’t ever happened, handstands in yoga? Well, lets […]
roasted carrot soup with fennel + lemon

I am blessed with one adventurous eating kid in our family (the other one is getting there, slowly). She hardly ever turns her nose up at anything and gives most things a try, more often that not coming back for more, and more. But somethings changed this year when it comes to school lunches. All […]
