raw asparagus quinoa salad with almond & jalapeno recipe
I love days when you have healthy leftovers in the fridge. Quinoa is one of those ingredients I love to cook more than is required, so I can have it at hand should the urge kick in for a simple seasonal salad for lunch. With fresh Asparagus appearing earlier this month I wanted to create […]
tofu tom yam recipe
Spring is the perfect time for Tom yam. Well if you’re me, anytime is the perfect time for Tom yam….but especially now. It’s warm and spicy, perfect for those slightly cooler nights before the real heat of summer kicks in, but being a lovely thin broth you won’t feel heavy afterwards. For me South East […]
