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”
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”
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”
Beetroot leaf pesto
My parents arrived in France about a month and a bit ago, at 3am after a long and hard 18 hour drive, fuelled by puking dogs. The first thing my dad did as soon as parked up was go look at the vegetable garden. The grass had grown tup to his chest (shoulder height forContinueContinue reading “Beetroot leaf pesto”
Rhubarb and Plum mustard with white asparagus
A chef friend recently told me about Rhubarb mustard and a first I was slightly dubious but its actually really, really nice! The sweetness from the fruit softens the harshness from the Dijon and it pairs well with white asparagus, which are a speciality in France. I decided to add a plum to give itContinueContinue reading “Rhubarb and Plum mustard with white asparagus”
Spelt bread with seeds and rosemary
Bread-my favourite carb. The backbone of our nation and our diets. It tends to get given a bad name, ‘bread makes you fat’, ‘carbs are the devil’… we’ve heard it all. I love Bread. Whether its a baguette, torn apart by ravenous hands, a crusty sourdough holds well for soup-dunking or simply, a slice ofContinueContinue reading “Spelt bread with seeds and rosemary”
Vegan Apple and Almond cake
This is the recipe for the apple and almond cake which mum made. By accident, she slightly underbaked it which resulted in a more dense and fudgey texture which I loved- it reminded me of the frangipani inside an almond croissant. Makes 1 20cm round cake 100g plain flour 100g spelt flour 60g ground almondsContinueContinue reading “Vegan Apple and Almond cake”
