20 flavour-packed vegetarian Christmas salads+ sides
Growing up (vegetarian) our Christmas meal didn’t resemble the ‘norm’. Sure lunch at the Grandparents was pretty traditional, but my family only ate the salads, vegetable sides and mums silverbeet + feta filo pie she’d take along to my Grandparents without fail, every year. Us kids would hurry to grab a slice before the rest […]
Charred Broccolini Noodle Bowl with Black Pepper Dressing -gluten-free + vegan-
I was at an event last week in Hamilton, celebrating the launch of Feast Waikato 2020 when I got chatting to one of my food writing friends who mentioned she’d been making this recipe (which first featured in Nourish Magazine late last year) and it reminded me that I’d been meaning to share it here […]
a simple pot of homegrown beans
I grew up eating beans and legumes nearly everyday, it’s what you do when you’re vegetarian.

As many […]

For many, ‘bring a salad’ means dumping a […]
No-bake Dark Chocolate Caramel Cups -gluten-free + vegan-
It’s crazy to think how much has changed in the food world in the last twenty years. I might be showing my age here, but it was back then that I first started working as a chef. I’d wake up thinking about food, cook all day and go to sleep dreaming about food some more, […]
Spring coconut curry noodle bowls -gluten-free + vegan-
You guys all know I’m a sucker for a good curry noodle bowl. There’s just something so incredibly comforting about slippery tender rice noodles laced with a spicy coconut sauce and topped with all manner of bright and crunchy things. While I could eat a bowlful of these noodles any time of the year, it’s […]
Avocado noodle salad with gochujang dressing
What a roller-coaster of a week it’s been, from the saddest of days saying goodbye to my beloved Granny who has now left this life, to the very next day being awarded the Best Editorial Recipe Writing award at The Foodies – NZ Food Media Awards for my work in Cuisine Magazine. Throw a sick […]
