Greek Lemony Baked Potatoes
Banquet style eating is popular in our house. It’s perfect if you’re feeding people with one or multiple dietary requirements, and also, an excellent way to present food to fussy eaters. I feel it kind of drops the anxiety when children (or adults!) are free to pick and choose what they like. We have the…
GOLDEN TOFU + LENTIL *MEATBALL* CURRY
Here it is friends, possibly my greatest culinary moment – GOLDEN TOFU + LENTIL *MEATBALL* CURRY!!!! The meatballs are made from tofu and lentils, somehow light and fluffy but dense and moist. They also happen to be both vegan and gluten free. And they’re swimming in a curry of complete liquid gold. Sweet, spicy, rich…
Mauritian Potato + Vegetable Salad
It’s hard to believe now but there was a time in my life when my mum and I weren’t close. My childhood was pretty unconventional and I was one of those wild teens. My mum remarried when I was thirteen and my relationship with her new husband was pretty strained. He was from Mauritius and…
Golden Cauliflower + Turmeric Soup
Hello strangers!!! Well, at long last here I am with a new recipe! Things have been hectic with book stuff, and well, all the side projects that come with it. I’ll expand this story (in the not too distant future!) and post links to all the new recipes I have developed for other awesome brands….
Ricotta Gnocchi
Well, I had another birthday. And because I am luckiest kid on the planet with a plethora of excellent humans in my life, it turned into a whole week of celebrations. At one point I was made to do 37 laps of my friend’s house, one for each year, and announce to the guests where I was…
Baby Potatoes with Beans and Olives
Well, I’m happy to say, I’m happy. Truly happy. This happiness can’t be pinned on a single event, or more importantly, on another person. It’s more an amalgamation of lots of little things. The things that, when you add them together, make up my life. And I guess in a way the expression is true – the whole…
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…
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…
Baked Rice with Veg + Bocconcini
Sometimes my heart decides to move from my chest and settle itself high up in my throat. And I am positive that everyone can see it there, pulsating. Generally, this move occurs as a heavy blanket of anxiety wraps itself around my shoulders. Unlike the majority, who feel like they’re dying inside, I just go ahead and die…
