Bread and butter pickles (gluten-free + vegan)
Things are looking a bit sad in the garden at this time of the year. We’ve just picked the last of our cucumbers, our courgette (zucchini) are nearing their last legs, I’ve pulled out all my flowers (sob), bar a few sunflowers which I’m waiting to save seeds from. Our Maori potatoes are nearly dying […]
Smash-roasted perlas potatoes with creamy horseradish mayonnaise
Growing up we ate a lot of potatoes. Mum has mentioned more than once there were times when us kids only ate potatoes and not much else! I’m sure we ate other things, but I do have strong memories of freshly cooked spuds, generously slathered in butter and sprinkled with nutritional yeast (don’t judge, we […]

Spring bowl with roasted kūmara, romanesco, beetroot yoghurt + herbed lentil salad and a garden update
When I was making myself this vibrant bowl of spring goodness a few days ago for lunch it occurred to me that it’s become a bit of a thing for me to share a spring bowl at this time of the year! And when I looked back over the past few years I realised that […]
Quick + easy spring vegetarian curry
While I do own a few cooking gadgets, I usually prefer to do things the old-fashioned way- using my knife, chopping board, pans and wooden spoon to help me create tasty daily meals for my family, as well as for my work and this site too. I love the process of cooking, but that doesn’t […]
