I always feel warm, nourished and satisfied after eating a big bowl of flavoursome curry. I also generally feel like I’m about to pop because I don’t have a stop button, but that’s neither here nor there. I’ve shared my recipe for a coconut sweet potato & chickpea curry before which is pure deliciousness and…

Roast Cauliflower, Tahini Dressing & Pomegranate
A new year and a new adventure ahead. Lots of exciting things are coming in 2020 and that has proven more than so. Exciting, daunting, whatever it is, it’s an adventure all the same. Veganuary – my first challenge of the year and I definitely enjoyed having an excuse to promote plant-based food and get…
Kitchari – the Ayurvedic cleansing bowl of goodness.
I came across Kitchari at the beginning of summer this year as I was approaching my birthday and experimenting with vegan, gluten free cake recipes. I was feeling bloated from all the taste testing and know that a juice cleanse isn’t suitable for my food-loving self, no matter how hard I try to convince myself…
Sweet Potato & Black Bean Buddha Bowl
I love a Buddha bowl. What is it, I hear you ask. Well that’s the point I love so much! By my definition, it’s simply a bowl bundled with goodness. All kind of goodness. I suppose it’s whatever you make it and the options are endless. I love healthy food. I love colourful food and…
My Favourite Dairy Free Alternatives for Savoury Dishes
As I’ve said before, I am not “vegan” and I don’t pretend to be. I am, however, lactose and gluten intolerant which stemmed my love for getting creative with food in the first place and have since grown a love for all things plant-based. I’m not the biggest advocate for replacing cheese with “cheeze” as…
Fresh & Fruity Fennel Salad
I’m not going to lie, I’m not a huge fan of eating fennel myself. I don’t like that aniseed flavour in anything, especially not in Turkish Raki or Greek Ouzo that I was recently introduced to through my travels. Perhaps it has something to do with a whole bottle of Sambuca I drank on the…
Spicy Salmon, Broccoli & Rice Dish
Those days you want something nourishing but without the fuss can be frustrating. It’s easy to just reach for something unhealthy in a rush and I know that feeling all too well but I’m on a mission to change that. Quick and healthy don’t often go together, unless you’re grabbing an apple to snack on….
Filled with Greens
Although I’m very health conscious and all about getting my daily fix of vitamins through food, I’ve never really got into the juicing trend. Don’t get me wrong, I love a fresh juice and will often order one along side my breakfast if I’m out or will make myself a smoothie for breakfast, as a…
Black Rice & Sweet Potato Salad
I’m a big fan of salads, especially when I’m in a bit of a rush to eat something fast, but I’m also conscious of making a salad interesting and thinking outside of the box. A salad doesn’t have to be a bowl of leaves. For me, it’s the chance to throw a bunch of goodness…
Simple Slaw
I have trouble getting the hubby to eat any kind of vegetable, he’s a typical South African man who loves meat, potatoes and a good sauce. Being married to somebody with such a different diet to my own is strange, sometimes tough, it’s frustrating but I’m used to it now. I just try to sneak…
