I now realise, after all this time, that there seems to be a trend in my life. That being a set of opposite extremes that run parallel with each other. In other words, for every horrendous loss there seems to be an exciting new gain. For each tear I shed in distress there is another one that cried…

Miso Toast with Egg, Avocado + Gomasio
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…
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…
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…
Omelettes, Asian Style
Dear fellow humans, I have advice for you. Which indeed I need to heed myself. If ever you find yourself going through tough times, it is important to surround yourself with the people who love you, and who make you feel safe. Although often, when you’re down, the last thing you may want to do is…
Spiced Vegetables and Buckwheat
I only recently got my driver’s licence. Just three months ago. For the last 34 years I had walked everywhere. Most people thought it was absolutely absurd, to be my age and not know how to drive. You see my mother doesn’t know how to drive so I was not raised with a car. We…
Pumpkin + Lentil Salad with Caramelised Onions
My friends and family constantly request my recipes. So much so I began writing a little cookbook, and later, started this blog. Last week I was asked by someone very dear to me, for the recipes of the 3 meals I make most often – my Sausage and Butter Bean Cassoulet, Zucchini Pasta, plus my Pumpkin +…
Falafel Wraps with Hummus, Salad + Garlic Sauce
These are a bit of a ‘cheats’ falafel, as I have used tinned beans and chickpeas. The recipe is very loose, I am not one for measuring exact amounts of chopped herbs and the like. Use it as a guide. I used brown rice flour, as i made these for my lil sis, who has…
Simple Turkish Eggs
As you may already know, I tend to get a little obsessive over things. I have even had a period of egg obsession (as explained in this post) and now I am in the midst of another. Much to my dismay, kitchen time has be very limited of late – I seem to be eating…
Raw Fruit + Nut Chocolate Bark
Of all the recipes I post on this site, the raw vegan treats are, by far, the most popular. Which suggests to me that we are more health conscious now than we have even been. We are informed, and aware. Nutritious ingredients – the superfoods – have become so popular, that they are now affordable and accessible. These…
