Crispy Potato Wedges With Wasabi Dip

Living on a Greek island isn’t the worst thing in the world. In fact, as I sit here in a 20 degree evening after having come in from a lovely swim in the sparkling Aegean sea, I have to admin that most of the time it is actually just as good as it sounds! Unfortunately, when August comes around Greek islands tend to go from nice and hot to a lung-burning, asphalt-melting furnace, the number of tourists triples, everyone you know is working 16 hours a day and it is time to escape....

Crustless Ham And Zucchini Quiche

Crustless quiche is my favorite way to make quiche, for the obvious reason that you don’t have to deal with a crust. I’ve used this technique with broccoli, bacon, and cheddar quiche, as well as spinach, tomato, and feta quiche, and it always comes out PERFECT. Here’s the trick: flour and baking soda are mixed directly into the quiche mixture. You can use whole wheat or white flour- either will work....

Fluffy Vegan Banana Pancakes

Hey guys, happy weekend!! I’ll be brief today as it’s late and I still have heaps to do. I’m giving a talk at the Stroud Vegan Fair tomorrow morning and instead of preparing, I’ve spent the last 10 hours shooting pancakes! I started off with savoury pancakes that I was planning to shoot today, but things just kept on going wrong, so I’ve had to abort mission or else there would be no recipe this Saturday....

Fried Halloumi Bites With Spicy Honey

Halloumi is a firm, salty Greek cheese – but that’s about the only “Greek” thing about this recipe. With a cornmeal coating (which gives the halloumi nuggets a great texture and flavor) and a hot honey sauce mixed with Vietnamese Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce (my favorite Asian hot sauce), you’re going to love this delicious mash-up of some really yummy flavors! What is Halloumi cheese? Halloumi is a Greek cheese that miraculously doesn’t really melt....

Gluten Free Ravioli With Beetroot Filling

Yes, I did publish a ravioli recipe last week, but today it is time for the sequel! Once I published pumpkin and vegan ricotta ravioli last Friday, all hell broke loose. I got inundated with questions about how to make the same dish but without gluten. The beauty of running a blog is that it allows you to respond to your audience pretty immediately, so as you guys were writing to me on Facebook, I quickly did an audit of my gluten-free flours and contacted my supplier asking if they have xanthan gum (you cannot do without it I’m afraid) in stock....

Green Bean Casserole Two Cloves In A Pot

When I started hosting my thanksgiving feasts, I started out with that instant casserole with the cream of mushroom can. Fast forward to two years ago. I wasn’t satisfied with the taste. Thus begin my experimenting with the casserole recipe and came up with this one. This dish can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time. Make it ahead of time but leave the crispy onions out so they don’t get soggy....

Homemade Butterscotch Pudding From Scratch

This butterscotch pudding recipe was created out of pregnancy cravings. Butterscotch pudding, of all things! But I HAD to have it. So I made it from scratch, because the boxed mixes have so many preservatives and processed ingredients. OK yes, this recipe is not the healthiest. But compared to the boxed ingredients, making butterscotch pudding from scratch is a healthier alternative. This homemade butterscotch pudding is the perfect dessert for any occasion....

How To Dry Basil 5 Easy Ways

💭 Why dry basil? Drying basil prolongs the life of this summertime herb. If you’re wondering if dried basil is the same as fresh basil, it’s not. Dried basil is more concentrated and not exactly the same flavor as the fresh form. If you’re trying to preserve the flavor closest to the fresh form, drying basil is not the way to go. Instead, I recommend these three options: Make and freeze pesto....

Loaded Instant Pot Potato Soup

I love a good classic baked potato with crispy skin, but they take a heck of a long time to cook. Enter: loaded baked potato soup! A pressure cooker makes quick work of this potato soup recipe- you can have dinner on the table in only 30 minutes. But if you don’t own one, don’t worry- you can make this in your slow cooker or on your stovetop, too. I love how simple this recipe is....

I made matcha flavoured coconut cookies that require few ingredients and taste delicious. They are easy to make if a little messy....

Meaty Vegan Meatballs In Tomato Sauce

If good meatballs don’t scream romance, I’m not sure what does 😉 . I was fretting a little that my vegan meatball recipe that I had planned for today isn’t very Valentine’s Day suitable so I added a little red tomato sauce to them and voila, the recipe is very current again. In all seriousness, we have been enjoying these new vegan meatballs for a while now and I think they may be my favourite ‘meatballs’ on the blog so far, so I thought I would share so that you could experience a little meatball love yourself 🙂 ....

Miso Maple Noodles With Kale And Crispy Tofu

As you might have noticed, up until last week there was a conspicuous lack of kale recipes on the blog. I am a fan of kale, but it does not seem to be very popular with the locals and so I was not able to find it anywhere on the island. Then, out of the blue, I heard from a lady called Barbara who had some kale for sale. She had a brilliant idea of bringing kale seeds with her from Germany and somehow managed to persuade one of the local farmers to grow this superhero of a vegetable....

No Knead Pizza

If you are sometimes in the mood for pizza but too busy or tired to knead the dough, I have some good news. It is perfectly possible to make a delicious tasting pizza with a beautifully chewy crust without any kneading whatsoever. I actually don’t mind kneading, but sometimes it’s just too much effort especially if, like me, you spend too much time in the kitchen already. All this recipe wants from you is to mix three dry ingredients together in a bowl with some water, cover it and leave well alone for hours....

Nutty But Nice Hazelnut And Chocolate Spread

As kids, my brother and I could never get enough Nutella. If we were lucky enough to get hold of a jar – usually as a present from Santa – we would not stop scooping its content out with a spoon until we reached the bottom of the jar (or we got busted by the parents). Nutella does seem highly addictive and once you know there is a jar of it nearby, it seems to be calling out to you ’eat me!...
