These crispy mushroom vegan tacos use a pre-made box of breaded, mushrooms as the base for a fresh, spicy and fun taco recipe. When Fried Meets Fresh I used to love all things breaded, fried and pre-prepared but as I’ve learnt to experiment more in the kitchen, I’ve realised that you can take something pre-made,…

Roasted Fennel & Tomatoes, Hasselback Potatoes & Italian Dressing (v)
Fennel In my organic vegetable box this week I was sent some fennel which I haven’t cooked much with before. I do enjoy fennel seeds in a stew or bean casserole but it was a bit too hot this weekend for that. The other option I thought would be a nice fennel salad,…
Sugarsnap Pea & Kale Noodles With Spicy Avocado, Coriander & Lime Dressing (v)
Fresh, Simple, Spicy These super simple sugarsnap pea and kale noodles are great for lunch, dinner or as a salad and the perfect way to use up any of this leftover Vegan Avocado and Jalapeño Mexican Crema. Although I originally used it in a Mexican recipe, it takes on a Thai twist pretty easily as the…
Artichoke Spaghetti With Hummus & Dukkah (v)
No Cheese Please I used to see pasta as just a vehicle for cheese. “Would you like some pasta with that cheese?” was a phrase I was very familiar with. But since I’ve started trying to eat less dairy, and be a little healthier, I’ve been trying more and more pasta recipes that taste…
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie (No Bake)
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie “I thought this would be disgusting but it’s actually really nice”, high praise indeed from my husband who was somewhat skeptical of my latest vegan baking trial!

Tropical Mango & Coconut-Ice Smoothie Bowl (v)
Mango & Coconut Smoothie Float! I find smoothies are an easy way for me to make sure I get some good vitamins and nutrients into me each day. There’s some evidence to suggest that blending fruits and vegetables means you’re not getting the full benefit and they can sometimes be high in sugar, but I’ve…
Butternut Squash & Spinach Samosas (v)
Vegan Samosas I like to go to the Asian supermarket in town, although I don’t always know what I’m buying. Last trip I came back with some little samosa wrappers so I decided to try and make some healthy oven baked veggie samosas. These little beauties use the flesh from a whole baked butternut squash which is…
Thai Satay Salad With New Potatoes, Asparagus & Spring Greens (v)
Salad Dodging I used to be a salad dodger. I admit. But I’d only ever be served up limp, soggy lettuce and watery cucumber so who can blame me! I’ve now learnt that the trick to healthy eating is to make it taste so good you actually WANT to eat it. Hardly revolutionary I know but…
