Today’s recipe is very season-appropriate for most of Europe, at least. I say that as, in its typical fashion, Greece is still in two minds about whether it’s ready to move into autumn full time. I’m not complaining here. Lovely Duncan is whisking me away to Santorini for my birthday weekend soon so fingers crossed autumn hesitates for a wee bit longer. So today’s treat is a tray of autumn-inspired, moist carrot muffins fragrant with gingerbread spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg) and studded with walnut pieces....

I hope you are having a good weekend! I’ve done some baking therapy (Duncan is the big winner in this!) and made some very seasonally appropriate vegan carrot muffins fragrant with cinnamon and ginger! Speaking of spices, I finally got round to reorganising my vast spice supplies as they have been a mess for ages and I could not stand it any longer. It was on my todo list for a while but I was paralysed by my indecision as to which spice jars I actually want....

Hope your week is going well? The recipe I planned for today is inspired by cool, moody autumn and as luck would have it our weather has totally backtracked and bestowed a few warm and sunny, almost summery days on us after we have said goodbye to summer. I’m not complaining as I have been loving the warmth this week – I took Monday off to sit in my garden and read – but it rendered my recipe a little less relevant....

As I am channeling my upcoming driving test anxiety into bread baking, I always have some leftover sourdough banging around – that’s how today’s recipe came about. I wanted to use up stale sourdough and I decided that making vegan French toast is the answer. As I am still holding on to my no added sugar resolution my vegan French toast is savoury and cheesy. I topped it with some garlicky cherry tomatoes and wilted spinach and it was delicious, it makes for a perfect vegan savoury breakfast (or brunch), it comes together in minutes too and that’s always a bonus....

As I am flying to Poland again this weekend, I’ve had to cook a few Asian inspired dishes so that I can handle eating pierogi on repeat for a week 🙂 . Just kidding! There is plenty of fabulous vegan food in Krakow, so I am sure I won’t get bored! Today’s recipe is my attempt at veganising the national dish of Laos – larb. It features stir-fried mince, typically pork, that is seasoned with a liberal amount of lime juice and taken up to the next level with plenty of chopped up fresh herbs, like mint and coriander....

Long time no hear! I’m so happy to be back up and running and to be able to bring you a new recipe. The reason for my absence was twofold. Firstly, we went away to the Pembrokeshire coast for a few days during the week and it was so lovely. We really lucked out and had amazing weather for the entire trip. We managed to do two (10km and 15km) hikes over the cliffs on two consecutive days and while the terrain was at times challenging – the climbs were way steeper than what we anticipated – the views were stunning and we had a great time....

Yesterday, I decided to get my fingers dirty and replant some of my basil seedlings that, despite my legendary lack of gardening pizzazz, have surprised me with their prolific numbers. I planted them from seed and I sowed them quite liberally as I did not believe they would germinate at all. I was maybe being a touch too pessimistic, but this is solely based on my past experience. It is a standing joke between Duncan and I that whenever I buy a houseplant, it will become an emaciated and browned version of its past glorious self within a matter of weeks....

Hope you guys are well and ready for the weekend ahead! We are going to the beach one last time today and then getting ready to return home. We are both sad as we’ve had a really nice holiday and we wish it wasn’t coming to an end, but we are also missing Tina big time and the thought of seeing her sweet furry face again makes us both really happy....

Fresh Thyme Fresh thyme is a member of the mint family. It has a complex set of citrusy, woody and minty notes. Thyme is so versatile that I use it in so many dishes from my Nigerian Jollof to my tomato garlic confit! Thyme often brings a complex set of flavors to any dish. It’s woody, citrusy, and slightly minty. So you’ll want to think about which of those aspects you want to substitute in your dish....

I plan on making this once a week for at least the next year. It’s so easy, so quick, and so so so delicious. I loveeee making homemade pizza. I have a very tasty whole wheat pizza dough recipe, which you can use in place of the naan for this if you want. I usually make pizza dough in bulk and freeze it in portions, but this still involves rolling out the dough and making a big ol’ mess with flour....

Aaaaaaand it’s the weekend again at last! Hope you are doing things that make you relax and smile. I’ve had a pretty good week myself and my newly found (I’ve lost it more times than I can count) routine of yoga, meditation, running and eating mindfully has certainly played a major part in that. Why is it that despite the fact that we all know what makes us feel good, we have such a hard time sticking to it?...

As you may or may not know (depending on if you follow me on facebook), Zach and I are currently frolicking in the sunshine and bluebonnets in Austin, Texas for a friend’s wedding and to meet our baby nephew! I am likely having tons of fun (especially being away from the cold and remaining snow in New England), and I didn’t want you guys to feel like you were missing out....

This dish is loaded with comforting flavours of garlic, Italian herbs and sun-dried tomatoes, in a creamy, Parmesan cheese-filled sauce. I add spinach in the last few minutes of cooking (yes to no chopping!) but the recipe includes loads of vegetable options so you can cater to your family’s tastes. Once prepared, this dish can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated, ready for when you need it....

Spring is finally here! It is this time of the year that I feel like having something light (yet filling) first thing in the morning so I have a breakfast recipe for you today. I’ve been eating a variation of this breakfast since I was about fifteen. As many teenagers are, I was focused on my weight and I was never really happy with my figure. I bought myself a sort of self-help book with exercises, fashion and beauty tips and some ideas on what to eat to be slim....
