Form nutrition Protein Granola

Its no secret that most shop-brought granolas are laden with sugars and some even contain palm oil so for this I prefer to make my own. Its also much cheaper and so easy to make why wouldn’t you? Form nutrition, a vegan protein powder company, kindly gave me 3 of their protein powders to tryContinueContinue reading “Form nutrition Protein Granola”

Rooibos tea cake

Rooibos ‘red bush’ tea originates from South Africa. I find it has a smooth, almost gentle flavour (if you don’t leave the bag in for too long that is). It can be used in baking and features quite a bit in SA recipes and puddings and has also been made into the most delicious ginContinueContinue reading “Rooibos tea cake”

losing the plot in the vegetable plot

Hello! I am back, I am writing again, home again. I don’t even need to bother explaining what is going on, the whole world knows the current situation. I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe (and staying at home!). Many of us, especially those working in hospitality have ended up without a jobContinueContinue reading “losing the plot in the vegetable plot”

How to be the best version of your vegan-self

Vegan-ism has become so mainstream now that I don’t think I should even bother with this post. I turned ‘vegan'(ish) at the ripe old age of 16, just before it started to get popular. It’s been a bumpy ride, it started off well as mum gave me lacto-free cheese until one day, about a monthContinueContinue reading “How to be the best version of your vegan-self”

Back to reality… and porridge

After almost 3 glorious months back home in France I have returned to london, rush hour, the plastic wrapped vegetables (a ‘portion’ of cucumber wrapped in cling and then in more plastic wrapping, come on morrisons)and porridge made with water. I used to love coming back to England for holidays. It was such a novelty,ContinueContinue reading “Back to reality… and porridge”

Pa’s vegetable garden- a brief history

When we first began the house/garden the first thing we had built was the allotment. My dad, along with his brother Rob got to work making a fence, laying and plastering bricks for the raised beds. Along with a small shed for tools, a wall for grapes and a pergola supporting two kiwi trees. TheContinueContinue reading “Pa’s vegetable garden- a brief history”

Vegan walnut and banana bread

wow keeping a blog is pretty time consuming and I’m afraid I’ve been a pretty poor show. Too busy pizza oven making, birthday party attending and wedding-menu planning! Anyway, I have been going through a banana phase at the moment. My favourite dessert is banana ice cream- literally frozen bananas blended with yogurt drizzled in,ContinueContinue reading “Vegan walnut and banana bread”

Super seedy pesto

Okay okay, I know this is nothing like an authentic pesto and I can already hear the angry protests from Italy from where Im sat. Seeds? in a pesto? and prunes? and mint? So maybe it isn’t technically a pesto but guess what? Its vegan, nut free and just as delicious as its Italian namesake.ContinueContinue reading “Super seedy pesto”

sleeping in the airport and a final falafel

It’s 4:30am here in Israel and the airport is packed. If it weren’t for the dark outside you wouldn’t know it was so early. The shops are still open( who even buys underwear and perfume at 4 in the morning though) and the people next to me are tucking into cheese baguettes and Iranian saladsContinueContinue reading “sleeping in the airport and a final falafel”

Beetroot fried Rice

I write this rather hastily in-between packing. Tomorrow I’m off to Israel for a week! My sister Caitlin has been out there for 2 months now and I am to join her on her last week, to see the sights, embrace the culture and of course, to eat allllll the tahini! Last night I cookedContinueContinue reading “Beetroot fried Rice”
