Are you obsessed with cauliflower like me? I can’t get enough. Roasted cauliflower. Pureed creamy cauliflower. Cheesy cauliflower gratin. Cauliflower pizzas. Cauliflower soup. I’m still working on liking cauliflower rice, but like most foods, give it time and I’ll come around. My absolute favourite: my Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce, of course! Not to mention…

Edamame and Miso Salad
Oh I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I did it again. I up and left you all and went on hiatus for a month or so without telling you. I have done it a couple of times before and keep vowing to never do it again but it seems to happen. I…
Peppermint After Dinner Mints
Remember those after dinner mint slices that would come out at the end of a dinner party and were the height of sophistication in the eighties? At least I thought they were pretty classy with their dark chocolate and individual little sleeves. Well, they’re back! I’m declaring them totally cool again and on trend. My…
5 Spice Lettuce Cups
My darling, very gorgeous little lad Henry has kindly kept me up most of the night for the past couple of nights. The amount he is up during the night would have made me start to suspect he could be part vampire but his serious lack of sleep during the day has ruled that one…
Basic Bliss Balls
I’m not sure I should start off a food blog post with this story, but I’m going to. The other week the whole family went to Henry’s little friend Bella’s first birthday. It was such a lovely birthday but the aftermath was not cool, seriously not cool. Two nights later my husband and I woke…
10 Minute Tortilla Soup
What the heck is Tortilla Soup? Is it Nachos in a bowl? Do I grab a Quesadilla, throw it into a blender and voila I have Tortilla Soup? What an odd concept for a soup! Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Yup. The first time I encountered Tortilla Soup on a menu I thought it…
Homemade Lemon Curd
Normally I wouldn’t touch lemon curd, not because I don’t like lemons or because I am super health conscience (look around my blog, you’ll see) but because I have always found it far too sickly almost cloyingly sweet. Often I would look at it and think how delicious it would look but after a few mouthfuls…
Miso Glazed Eggplant
Did someone say miso? Me so love miso! Hehehe. Yes, I know, that was a terrible joke. Jokes have never been my forte. It’s true though, I do love miso! I can’t get enough of this addictive umami, salty flavour. If there is anything miso on the menu then I just have to have it….
Mulled Apple Cider
Do you love mulled wine? Yes? Me too. How about mulled apple cider? I know, I know, I had never tried it or even thought to make it until recently, so sorry mulled wine but you’ve been bumped to second place because mulled apple cider is where it’s at in my house right now. It’s…
Chocolate and Beetroot Cake
If Red Velvet Cake had a healthy cousin, this would be her. She’s red, she’s sweet, she’s chocolatey just like her cousin but instead of being super sweet and full of food colouring she’s earthy, delicately sweet and full of dark, good for you, chocolate. Don’t get me wrong, Red Velvet Cake has a space…
Sticky Soy Glazed Chicken Wings
My husband and I used to be a perfect match. I emphasis “used to”, things have sadly changed. When we first met whenever we had a roast chicken he would always want the dark meat and me the white. I would sit there with a little smirk on my face thinking I had definitely without…
Easy Green Smoothie Bowl
Yum. Yum. Yum. These smoothie bowls are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. They are so good that for the last two weeks I have had nothing but these for breakfast. I am obsessed. I know, I know, all of you who read my previous recipe for Healthy Chocolate Banana Granola which I posted just a mere three weeks ago…
