There are so many things to love about this Turmeric Rice and Beans dish. Firstly, it’s a one pan meal which makes me just as happy as when someone says “sheet cake” – it’s in the same league, they are one pan, one mess wonders. Music to my kitchen sink.

Mom’s Homemade Chocolate Ice-Cream
So this recipe is for those of you with ice-cream machines, which I realise may not be a lot of you BUT, I can tell you that an ice-cream maker is worth the purchase. We make this chocolate ice-cream recipe every full moon. My boys love the tradition and they now know the meaning of…
Tomato and Basil Chickpea Pasta
It’s not everyday that I come across a really easy recipe with simple ingredients that doesn’t require a lot of editing from me. And sometimes I think I come across them – on paper they appear promising only to be let down by the flavour in the end. And that is why I am SO…
Chocolate Oat Instant Cookies
My boys are loving these little no-bake chocolate oat cookies aka “instant” cookies. And to be honest, so am I. The wickedness lies in the fact that they only take like 10 minutes to make, start to finish. And then they are easy to eat of course.

Vegan Coleslaw
You’re probably thinking how on earth do you make a Vegan coleslaw? No Mayonnaise? I thought the exact same thing but let me tell you, this coleslaw is simply delicious. Instead of mayonnaise, we use a creamy cashew nut dressing with all sorts of sweet and tangy ingredients. Eating coleslaw has never been more exciting!!…
Hummus and Chickpea Salad Dip
This delicious platter of hummus and chickpeas, loaded with salad, is one of my favourite dishes for entertaining – and it’s perfect for vegans too!
