Sri Lankan inspired asparagus curry + pics from my trip: Part one

It now feels like a dream. In the midst of the daily grind of motherhood, some days it actually feels like it happened in another lifetime altogether. I’ve long wanted to travel to Sri lanka, I just never would’ve guessed that I’d get there in the way that I did. In June this year and after […]
Curried carrot + red lentil soup with mung beans + feta

I think I’ve mentioned it here once or twice already over the years, but I’m not so great with change. Moving house is unsettling, but I deal with it and can make any house my home. It’s the changes of technical nature that take me a little longer to feel comfortable with. I love the […]
Kale curry with crispy shallots + egg

Tadaa! It’s only taken me 6 years to get around to, but I’ve finally had a blog makeover! It’s been one of those things I’ve been wanting to do for about the past 4 years, but between creating two cookbooks, motherhood + moving countries, lets just say I’ve had a few other things to do. […]

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

Turmeric + kawakawa chai {vegan} + links

Pulling the saucepan from the bottom draw I gather loose tea leaves, spices and ginger before wandering out to the bush just below our deck to pick fresh kawakawa leaves, making sure to only harvest leaves eaten by the […]
Roasted pumpkin soup with chickpea migas

New Zealand Taste magazine (not to be confused with Taste.com.au magazine in Australia!) was the first magazine to feature my work more than five and a half years ago when I’d only just started blogging. I still remember the excitement I felt receiving that email asking if they could feature one of my recipes and […]
