I love to experiment with different flours, especially quinoa flour as it’s so full of protein. I also love to use almond flour in baked goods, as it gives for a sweet/nutty texture and makes virtually anything you bake, lighter. I had a good friend coming over for tea -she’s as into green tea […]

  I make these zucchini mint fritters almost every other week during the summer. They are made from a few simple, easy-to-get-your-hands-on ingredients and appeal to almost everyone – let’s face it,  fried anything is delicious, especially if you can feel a little bit healthy by way of it being stuffed full of organic veggies. My […]

Ahhhhh – I’ve arrived at my parent’s home in the UK (a little cottage in a tiny village in Surrey,) and am just getting over jet lag. Despite the fact that when it’s lunchtime here, it’s four in the morning back home, I’ve managed to get my taste buds onto British time and mom and […]

I’m not usually fond of meat substitutes, especially those made from Isolated Soy Protein (very heavily processed – yuck!) but I use seitan (say-tan,) a lot […]

I love this quinoa plum mint taboulleh in the Summer as it’s light and so easy to whip up for lunch. As I’m a huge quinoa fan, I decided to substitute it for the traditional bulgar wheat. Lola and I found some beautiful sweet plums at the farmer’s market, so I decided to use them in […]

This simple tabouleh is a traditional Moroccan recipe that couldn’t be easier. The common mistake is that not enough parsley is used. Make sure you use flat-leaved parsley. It makes a wonderfully healthy lunch, served with warm whole wheat pitta. Ingredients  1cup bulgur wheat or cous cous 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped 4 scallions, trimmed […]

Homemade mayo is the best. Some people are a little scared of using raw eggs because of the fear of Salmonella poisoning. If you use organic, free-range eggs, the likelihood of getting food poisoning is virtually nil, however, if you want to play super safe, the recipe below is cooked, so all your fears can […]
