Middle Eastern Cauliflower Mash

Posted on September 13, 2018 by Laura • 18 Comments

I’d describe my diet as 95% plant based. After a lifetime of eating meat I decided to go pretty much vegetarian a few years ago. Surprisingly I found the transition so much easier than expected. Honestly I did. After a while I simply didn’t miss eating meat. I quickly found inventive ways to make ‘meat … Continue reading →

How to make dried fruit (no dehydrator needed)

Posted on August 8, 2018 by Laura • 22 Comments

Although I love to cook the electric gadgets in my kitchen are pretty thin on the ground. There’s the obvious kettle and toaster as well as my ‘can’t live without’ stick blender….but that’s about it. I don’t even own a microwave let alone a slow cooker. In our last apartment we installed a fancy Miele … Continue reading →

Posted on December 4, 2017 by Laura • 21 Comments

Moving house is pretty stressful – so much so that research suggests more than half of us put it at the top of our stressful life events list. I’m currently preparing for a house move later this week and even for me, the queen of planning and organisation, there’s going to be a little stress … Continue reading →

Olives marinated in rosemary & spices

Posted on May 4, 2016 by Laura • 11 Comments

Can the smell of rosemary improve memory? Yes, apparently it can. I’m enjoying Trust Me, I’m a Doctor – a show where a team of medical experts cover a whole range of health topics. A recent episode focused on dementia and featured an experiment that revealed how being in a rosemary scented room can strengthen memory. Rosmarinus … Continue reading →

Easy home-made yoghurt

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Laura • 24 Comments

They say habits take around 21 days to form. This feels about right for my home-made ice cream habit. I posted the recipe here a few weeks ago and now I’m in a routine of making yoghurt based ice cream as a regular dessert. It’s so good to be able to enjoy ice cream without the … Continue reading →

Quinoa pasta “puttanesca” (gluten free)

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Laura • 15 Comments

Although not strictly gluten free I make best efforts to eat a largely wheat free diet. I have go-to gluten free recipes that make this easier, like my nutty paleo bread and flax and chia seed crackers. My indulgences in gluten usually happens when my weakness for pizza or pasta gets the better of me. But, even … Continue reading →

Garam Masala – Indian spice blend

Posted on August 18, 2015 by Laura • 17 Comments

Garam masala usually appears alongside more familiar spices in Indian recipes. But, unlike other spices, such as cumin or turmeric, garam masala isn’t a spice itself –  rather it’s a blend of different spices.  In writing this post I discovered that garam means “heat” and masala means “spice blend”. Garam masala is an ingredient that … Continue reading →

We’ve all heard about the benefits of eating fish. The Japanese diet for example is especially rich in fish, and at the same time Japan holds the title of the world’s highest longest life expectancy (84 years). I’m sure their diet must be a contributing factor. When it comes to choosing between types of fish a … Continue reading →

Posted on January 13, 2015 by Laura • 5 Comments

At the start of a recent long lunch at Emerson’s in the Hunter Valley the waitress asked ‘Would you like to start with house-made bread?’ I almost said no wanting to save valuable stomach space for dessert. But, in the end I was glad my husband insisted on bread. Why? Because with the bread came with a delicious … Continue reading →
