cabbage, coriander + sesame winter slaw
I’ve always felt a deep connection to this land where I was born and a deep yearning to know more about my Māori heritage. Being of mixed descent and growing up in a time where only the brave held (fiercely) onto their culture, it was not part of my upbringing, sadly. Te reo (the language) […]
Chickpea + paneer curry
Firstly, thanks so much for your enthusiasm on my last post! I was really worried I’d never feel the urge to return to this space, but I’m so glad I have. It feels great to be home… Speaking of home, I’ve seen a lot of it over the past week as my youngest was taken […]
Vegan pumpkin, lentil + kale bake
So, um, that 5 month break from this site just kinda happened. I hadn’t intended to stay away from this space for so long but lets just say it’s been one hell of an eventful start to the year. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you may have already heard me talking about […]

But you know, I’m human also. There are times when I simply don’t have the time or inclination to cook everything […]
Spring salad bowls

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… […]
