Spicy tofu noodles (gluten-free + vegan) + exciting news!

And just like that, the summer holidays are over. The kids are back at school, the house is quiet, the dishes are done and I have a spare moment to myself to gather my thoughts and write up this surprisingly delicious recipe. I say surprising because well, sometimes when you are inspired by dishes that traditionally use […]
Fried egg tortilla with cucumber jalapeno salsa recipe (gluten + dairy-free)

With the summer holidays in full swing and the temperatures soaring I’d love to say we’ve been at the beach all day, everyday… but alas most days I’ve been in the kitchen cooking up a storm for a few projects I’ve got on the go. We have managed a few early morning trips to the beach […]
preserved lemons recipe

Our lemon tree has gone completely mental this year and every morning over the past month or so, we’ve been greeted with a bagful of plump, heavy juice bombs which have dropped from the tree overnight.

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 […]
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, […]
