No time for words today unfortunately. Just a recipe. It is frustrating that I have all these things I’d like to say, but am struggling to find the time to say it! This is what I have been eating almost daily. It can hardly be classified as a recipe, more of an inspirational toast idea if you…
Raw Vegan Key Lime Pies
I am terrified of saying goodbye. Goodbye to people, to objects, to situations. And for some reason it makes no difference to me whether I am saying goodbye to something good or something bad. It is the ‘letting go’ that is the problem. It was my birthday over the weekend. And as usual, I got weird…
Apple Slices with Cinnamon Almond Butter
As I have continually expressed, I have a long history of weird food behaviour and food obsessions. Yet there has never been an obsession greater than my affinity with peanut butter. There have many occasions where I have eaten half a jar, in some crazed frenzy, and thought well, that’s dinner taken care of. This behaviour is…
Basic Shakshuka with Feta
I have to admit, I am a bit of a hoarder. My mother drummed the ‘appreciate everything’ message quite firmly into my brain, which is completely fine. But this, paired with my overly sentimental nature, means that I don’t really throw anything away. Because I might need it one day. Or, because such and such gave it…
Flourless Orange Juice Cake
This cake was the result of an experiment. I needed to make a flourless orange cake for my little sister’s birthday, but I had absolutely no time for the usual pre-boil the oranges method. So I was forced to get a bit creative. I found the whole thing quite fascinating, really. The fact that I am now,…
SWEET POTATO + AVOCADO ONIGIRI / PICKLED VEG + AVOCADO NORI ROLLS
Japan stole my heart. Having to leave was like breaking up with a boyfriend. I just wanted to stay. I couldn’t ever anticipate how much I’d love it there. Sure, being on holiday is great. No work, no bloody essays. Everyday is a new adventure. I am aware of this. But what I want to share…
Raw Salted Caramel Fudge
Sometimes I feel I am a walking contradiction. A cacophony of opposing traits. A tiny ball of chaos that is obsessed with systems and order. Overflowing with love. Cries way too much. A pillar of strength, with the potential to crumble any second. Overly proud. Overly vulnerable. Filled with terror, yet as brave as can be. It’s very confusing.Tomorrow…
Spinach, Feta + Pine Nut Gozleme
It seemed to come out of nowhere, but I feel the period of transition has come to an end. The last tears have finally been shed. However, they certainly went out with a bang. I subjected my friends, and my ego, to a couple of public weeping sessions. Not the tears rolling down the cheek, feeling overwhelmed type of…
Vegan Chocolate Cake w Peanut Butter Choc Frosting
It was Eat This My Friend’s birthday yesterday. Two Years now. Holy smokes! The posts over the last 12 months really do reflect the tumultuous state of my life. And I feel that the focus has somehow shifted from recipe sharing, to sharing my thoughts. Maybe you’ve noticed, maybe you haven’t. I made a little joke…
Red Lentil Dhal
I live by the sea, and the cold wind blows strong. In summer it is a real asset. It smells of salt and coconut. There are children with spades digging channels and teenagers jumping off the pier. And we all spend hours in the crashing waves. For me however, its true beauty is revealed when…
