This was the first time I had ever made dumplings. For me, dumplings have always been something that was strictly reserved for cafes and restaurants. Chinatown. In other words – the experts. Definitely not for making at home. Somehow, a little seed got planted in my brain about Sweet Potato Gyoza. Had I read about…

Lemon + Raspberry RAW Cheesecake
Yes, I know. Another raw recipe. Every second dessert I’m making at the moment is raw. I assure you I’m not caught up in some kind of craze , but the appeal of eating something delicious which is also so very good for you is too much for me to resist! This is all relatively…
Raw Brownie Bliss Balls
I often get asked “Oh you’ve got a blog – what kind of food do you cook?” And it always stumps me. For someone who is so passionate about food – both taste and nutrition – it is kinda ridiculous that I struggle to answer this question. I have been trying to figure out exactly…
Noodle Salad with Miso + Tahini Dressing
This is the kind of thing I make myself for lunch on a regular basis. LOADS of vegetables. For me, the secret is in the preparation of the vegetables . The cabbage needs to cut into the finest of chiffonade. The carrots and zucchini into long slender julienne strips. I do not have a mandolin…

My Way Porridge
It’s porridge. It is hardly something you need a recipe for. Yet everybody seems to have their own way of making it – and their own way of serving it. At my house I cook it in water, with a pinch of salt. Condiments vary depending on what I have laying around – milk, almond…
Spiced Sweet Potato, Carrot + Cauliflower with Bulgur Wheat
Clancy and I had a city picnic date! I had 1/2 a sweet potato, carrots and a cauliflower. Plus bulgur wheat, and a trusty tin of chickpeas in the cupboard. And that is how lunch was born today. It was ridiculously good, and I urge you all to try it. The spiced dressing is phenomenal….
