raw apricot, dark chocolate + coconut bites recipe, crazy news and your chance to win 1 of 5 copies of my book!
Last night I stayed up late, watching some crap on telly to stop me from checking my emails every two seconds. At around 11pm I gave up and went to bed, hoping the morning would bring the news I’d been hoping for. A little over an hour later I was awoken by Kye wanting a […]
mustardy mushrooms on toast
Every now and then I have a huge craving for mushrooms on toast. It’s doesn’t come every week, not even every month- but when it hits I go out and grab whichever mushrooms I can get my hands on and cook ’em all up, simple-styles. I know creamy mushrooms are what many crave, but me, […]
ginger roasted pumpkin + quinoa salad w/ mint, chilli + lime {gluten-free, vegan}
You know something? It’s been just over three years since we packed up our little quiet New Zealand life and in a sleep-deprived moment of madness decided to move 5345.72km to what felt like the other side of the world. My friend asked me the other day if that was a hard decision to make […]

Roasted eggplant + noodles with Chinese black vinegar dressing (gluten-free + vegan)

homemade sriracha sauce recipe (raw + fermented)
There’s no denying I like things hot when it comes to food. I’ve long been a fan of chillies, but sadly back in my younger years it was only ever in the form of sweet chilli sauce or as Si’s always liked to call it ‘that chilli crap’. (Charming, I know. Obviously he’s never been a fan!). […]
lemongrass tofu with chilli kang kong
Everything about life in Vietnam sits right with me. Family is number one, life is simple and there’s food everywhere, always. (My body got so used to eating over there that I really struggled with my 3 day New Year detox that I’ve just completed! I was starving the entire 3 days.) Of course there’s the usual breakfast, […]
