Buckwheat + roasted pumpkin salad with sumac yoghurt + pickled red onion
If there was one condiment I couldn’t live without, pickled red onions would be fighting it out for top spot (possibly alongside homemade chilli sauce). Over the past few years it’s something I always have in my fridge, I feel anxious when I’m all out. See the thing is, this unassuming and incredibly simple little […]
Sunshine squash masala dosa (gluten-free + vegan) from Dosa Kitchen cookbook
My first taste of masala dosa came at a road-side stall in the middle of the night somewhere on route to Diu Island, on the South-West coast of India nearly 20 years ago. It was love at first taste and one of the strongest food memories I have of that trip. Ever since then I’ve […]
No-bake coffee, cardamom + dark chocolate slice (gluten-free + vegan)
I’ve had this post swirling around in my head all weekend. Like many people the world over, I’ve really struggled with the news of Anthony Bourdain’s death. I’m well aware that many people die each and everyday and I don’t write this to make out that his life was more important than any others, it’s […]
Chickpea, tomato + kale stew with herbed yoghurt

I’m hoping to get a little time this week (can’t guarantee though, as it’s the school holidays!) to make one […]
Sprouted mung bean curry (vegan)
When the weather cools enough to warrant a jumper and socks in the morning, but not yet a beanie, this is the kind of curry I crave. Light and fragrant enough to be nourishing and warming at this time of year, but not exactly the stick-to-your-ribs type food I crave in the depths of winter. […]
flourless dark chocolate, orange + ginger muffins
It’s the first day of spring today and I couldn’t be happier! After our non-existent (last) summer, this winter has felt incredibly long and incredibly wet. Our new house is amazing and feels like the home we’ve always dreamed of, however it’s not the warmest house so we’ll have to save up over the next […]
my favourite red lentil dhal with pickled coriander (cilantro) stalks
It’s no secret that I love spices. I’ve written about them numerous times before and use them in my cooking every day. Even just a teaspoon or two can elevate a dish from ok, to amazing. Dhal is one of those dishes. With just a handful of simple ingredients and a few different spices you […]
