My dad once asked me why vegans are often so desperate to recreate typical meat dishes – burgers, meatballs, pâté etc. My answer was that most of us did not give up meat because we don’t like its taste (I was never a massive red meat lover as an omnivore, but I did use to like chicken and fish). We gave meat and dairy up because we do not feel that our appetite should come before another being’s right to live....

The best part? It’s so much cheaper (and tastier!) to prepare at home than eating out. On a recent family holiday, I was shocked at the price of takeout burritos we picked up along the way, especially considering how little beef was actually in them! We love serving this Mexican beef with rice (I have an incredible Mexican Tomato Rice recipe), but you could also purchase microwave Mexican-style rice from the supermarket or even serve with plain rice....

I was extra excited about this recipe because I GREW THE SWISS CHARD. In my garden! With my own two hands! This was the first proper “meal” I’ve made out of my garden harvest- I had a few radishes come up, and of course some herbs… but I was so excited to plan an entire recipe around this yummy vegetable. That, coupled with the fact that the wild caught salmon was on sale for only $10/lb....

I’ve chosen today’s recipe to align with a mini (3 whole days!) heatwave that has been bestowed on us this week. It’s an easy and fresh recipe that certainly makes for an ideal heatwave lunch and as it requires practically no cooking, it affords me more time to lounge in the sun – something I prioritise way more since we moved back to the UK after years in permanently sunny Greece....

This Pasta e Fagioli recipe is different than what you may be used to (for example, it’s NOT what you’d find at the Olive Garden). While authenticity of this dish differs from region to region in Italy, this simple version is akin to what I ate when I was in Italy. Authentic pasta e fagioli is usually less of a “soup” and more of a thick stew, with the main ingredients being pasta and beans....

The other day, I had a cooking catastrophe in an attempt to make healthy “cookies.” Well, catastrophe may be kind of a strong word. Because out of it was born these super tasty, super healthy peanut butter and banana energy bars with only 5 ingredients! Here’s the story. I got it in my head that I wanted to be “healthy” even though I was craving a cookie something fierce. So, I tried making those two-ingredient “cookies” you always see on Pinterest… you know, the ones made only from mashed bananas and oats?...

It’s quick, it’s easy and there is something so comforting about sausages and gravy piled on creamy mashed potatoes with a side of steamed greens (kale is my absolute favourite and my kids love steamed peas). The gravy is made with low-cost pantry staples – beef stock teamed with a splash of Worcestershire sauce is what gives the gravy its depth of flavour and colour....

Recommended Equipment I always recommend a Nordicware Rimmed Baking Half Sheet for all your sheet pan needs. I use this thing for everything from BBQ chicken to baking cookies. Here’s what’s great about it – it’s so sturdy, so it doesn’t warp under temperature changes. You can be aggressive with it, scraping things up with a metal spatula. I never have a problem with things sticking too much (and a thin metal spatula is great for scraping things up that are sticking a little bit)....
