Though I try to stick to mostly vegan meals at home, I do have my vices. Halloumi is one of them. Continue reading “Recipe: Quick and Easy Quinoa & Halloumi Salad”

Recipe: Easy Root Vegetable Gratin
I made this dish on Christmas Day as a festive side but I’ve been a bit lazy about blogging for the past couple of weeks… Luckily, there’s still plenty of the cooler months left to enjoy this wintery dish! Continue reading “Recipe: Easy Root Vegetable Gratin”
Recipe: Caramelised Baby Parsnips
I didn’t discover my love for parsnips until just a few years ago. I don’t remember ever having them growing up and they certainly didn’t feature during our summery Christmas lunches in Australia. Continue reading “Recipe: Caramelised Baby Parsnips”
Recipe: Festive Neeps & Tatties
With the festive season almost upon us, I wanted to share some seasonal favourites. I had to include neeps & tatties partly because I find the name so adorable but also because it’s a relatively easy side dish, or great way to use up any leftover root veg from your festive feast. Continue reading “Recipe: Festive Neeps & Tatties”
Recipe: Summery Beetroot and Potato Salad
Summertime calls for salad. And not just lettuce and tomatoes; that’s not a salad – that’s lettuce and tomatoes. For a true salad, I like to experiment with flavours and textures and colour. Continue reading “Recipe: Summery Beetroot and Potato Salad”
Recipe: Giant Cous Cous Salad with Smoked Tofu
My new obsession is smoked tofu. I’ve tested out a few different brands recently but by far, my favourite has been Oasis Organic Smoked Tofu which I picked up in Planet Organic. Continue reading “Recipe: Giant Cous Cous Salad with Smoked Tofu”
Recipe: Quinoa and Smoked Tofu Salad with a Pomegranate Dressing
I’ve never cooked quinoa before. I know, I know… bad vegetarian. Bad!
I have eaten it before but it’s always been prepared by Marks & Sparks or Mr Hipster Cafe. Continue reading “Recipe: Quinoa and Smoked Tofu Salad with a Pomegranate Dressing”
Recipe: Zesty Vegan Potato Salad
I love a good potato salad but I find it’s often too rich and creamy for my liking when laden with mayonnaise, cream and/or egg. So last night, when I wanted a summery accompaniment to my beetroot burger patty, I whipped up a super-easy potato salad with a lemon and olive oil dressing. It was light and zesty and exactly what I was looking for! Continue reading “Recipe: Zesty Vegan Potato Salad”
Recipe: Balsamic Tofu, Asparagus and Broccoli Salad
A little while ago I made a balsamic tofu salad and it was delicious. The only problem was that it wasn’t very photogenic so I only pasted it to my facebook page and not my blog because, well… I like pretty things. Continue reading “Recipe: Balsamic Tofu, Asparagus and Broccoli Salad”
Recipe: Beetroot and Feta Flatbread Pizzas
I was not in the mood to cook last night but still wanted something fresh and tasty for dinner. Enter flatbreads. Pretty much the easiest meal ever to prepare, kind of like little pizzas but healthier, and very versatile, depending on what’s in your fridge! Continue reading “Recipe: Beetroot and Feta Flatbread Pizzas”
Recipe: Simple Citrus Fruit Salad
I was a weird kid. Partly because I was the kid whose favourite food was fruit. Not chocolate, not ice cream, not even peanut butter or cheese sticks. Plain old, disgustingly healthy fruit. Continue reading “Recipe: Simple Citrus Fruit Salad”
Recipe: Warm Chickpea Salad with Feta
I wanted something healthy but filling for dinner. I knew I had a can of chickpeas in the pantry (a staple on a vegetarian’s shelf) and a few veggies left in the crisper. Chickpea salad sprang to mind. Continue reading “Recipe: Warm Chickpea Salad with Feta”
