Main Meals
Heirloom tomato & walnut tart I vegan, gluten-free
Growing up my mom often made us a tomato tart that goes down in history as the most tasty tart I've eaten! I have the recipe in an old family recipe book, but I know it's not even worth getting out and trying to replicate it, as there are so many ingredients I won't...
Vegan Bolognese
The most common question I get asked is 'how do you get your kids to eat plant-based meals?' We are doing it slowly. One meal at a time. This versatile plant-based bolognese is simple to make, free of grains and legumes, full of flavour and tastes like traditional...
The Life-Changing Loaf of Bread
This is it! Probably one of the most delicious breads I've tasted! This vegan-friendly, whole-grain, gluten-free, no-knead, no-mess 'life-changing loaf of bread' has been doing the rounds on social media for some time now and I knew I just had to try it...
Oven Baked Vegan Polenta Chips
Polenta chips was one of the first new foods I tried after making the decision to follow a plant-based lifestyle. Once we perfected making these at home, these gluten-free chips have made a regular appearance on the dinner table, served with homemade tomato...

Bacon & Mushroom Courgetti
This one's a keeper! There is so much you can do with courgetti (also known as zucchini noodles)! On the menu tonight was low carb courgetti with free-range crispy bacon, mushrooms, olives, spring onion, garlic and garnished with coriander and toasted pumpkin seeds....
Oodles of Zoodles
There is no doubt I love kitchen gadgets! One of my best buys this year was definitely my spiralizer. Spiralizing courgettes to make courgetti or zoodles (whichever one you prefer) is a super substitute for spaghetti or noodles in any dish if you want to avoid carbs...
Raw Pad Thai
My love affair with Thai food started long before I visited Thailand a few years back, but my tastebuds came alive when I tasted the authentic street food and incredible variety of food that Thailand has to offer. My favourite Thai meal? Always has and always will be...
Roast Veggie Barley Salad
It must have been one of those weeks! After feeling inspired to get juicing again, I splashed out on a big box of fresh fruit and vegetables and dusted off the juicer. Veggies prepped and ready to go, I popped my first piece into the juicer and ....BOOOOOM!!!! The...
Creamy Tomato & Basil Soup
When life throws tomatoes at you ... make tomato soup! My boys have created a monstrous mess! While I tackled the dishes I could hear my boys happily playing in their playroom. When I walked in to check on them I could hardly believe my eyes! Squashed tomatoes lying...
