stir-fried millet with ginger, broccolini + fried egg

You may have noticed a little theme happening around here lately… and it begins with the letter M. You’ll see next month why I’m on a bit of a millet tangent at the moment, but for now lets talk about this beautiful gluten-free grain. If we’re getting technical, it’s actually a seed, native to Western Africa. […]
roasted pumpkin, millet + herb patties

If you were to peak into my fridge on any given day, you’d be greeted by numerous jar of flours, fresh and fermented vegetables, a large jar of sourdough starter-taking up half the top shelf, some excess kefir grains (doing their thing) and all sorts of containers of leftover food from the night before. On […]
eggplant + tomato curry with buttered millet

It’s such a funny thing being in contact with so many people from all corners of the world on a daily basis. When we’re in the midst of our cold winters (yes, it does get cold here in Perth… for a moment at least!), all my friends from the top part of the world are […]
warm puy lentils w/ spiced cavolo nero {gluten-free + vegan}

All […]
fava bean quinoa cakes with kale, ginger + garam masala {gluten-free + vegan} + a giveaway!

There have been so many amazing new cookbooks hitting the shelves in these past few months and it’s cool to see that many of them are written by bloggers! If you’ve been reading here for awhile you will remember my post on Anya Kassoff of Golubka fame mid last year? Well, her book The Vibrant Table, […]
preserved garlic in extra virgin olive oil

There’s this little gap in the year where for a few months before fresh garlic comes on the market in late spring/early summer, it’s damn near impossible to buy locally grown garlic and the only other choice is that hideous chemical cocktail also-known-as cheap imported Chinese garlic. For a good few years, once the last […]
