5 Vegan Dips for Christmas celebrations!

Posted on December 4, 2019 by Laura • 5 Comments

When it comes to dips there’s the easy, quick fix route – being supermarket bought dips. The downside? They’re often expensive and contain less than saintly added ingredients, like sugar and preservatives. Couple this with plastic packaging and you can see why most ready made dips aren’t nourishing for your body, your wallet or the … Continue reading →

Turkish red pepper paste – biber salçasi

Posted on June 19, 2019 by Laura • 11 Comments

Growing up many a fond memory was made in Turkey. It was my mother’s destination of choice for family holidays in the 1990s – thanks to the guaranteed Summer sun (and bargain prices before Turkey started accepting the euro). I was recently reminded of the richness of Turkish culture and the diversity of its natural … Continue reading →

Orange Matcha Marmalade with Chia

It doesn’t take much to get me excited when it comes to fresh ingredients. And for as long as I can remember ‘free’ has been one of my favourite words – music to my ears as they say. Pair these together and you can imagine my joy when I received a whole box of free, … Continue reading →

‘Me time’ smoky cherry tomato salsa

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Laura • 29 Comments

‘Me time’ is now official. Early this year over 1,000 new entries were added to the Oxford English Dictionary and the noun ‘me time‘ was one of them. I imagine very few people would turn down more me time. Because too often life’s essentials get in the way of precious time for ourselves – the biggest … Continue reading →

Indian Apple Chutney

Posted on May 2, 2018 by Laura • 12 Comments

In the UK fresh apples are available almost all year round – I imagine most Brits would find the idea of buying apples months after they were picked more than a little strange. But that’s exactly what happens in the US and Australia. Something I struggled to grasp after moving to Australia. The apple season … Continue reading →

Immune boosting turmeric, ginger & garlic pickle

Posted on March 27, 2018 by Laura • 21 Comments

A sneaky feeling that I was about to come down with something caught me off guard on Saturday. Something unpleasant enough to be energy zapping without making me bed ridden. Just days earlier my husband had been under the weather and his symptoms started with a tickle in his throat. Exactly the kind of tickle … Continue reading →

Habanero Tomato Salsa

We’ve all been there. You buy a fancy new ingredient, something you haven’t tried before, and have grand plans to experiment. Months pass by and it remains unopened at the back of a kitchen cupboard. Then by the time the ingredient gets a second thought the best before date is fast approaching. In my case … Continue reading →

Raspberry or Strawberry Chia Jam

Posted on January 31, 2018 by Laura • 20 Comments

My inspiration for this post came from my mum, a lifelong jam lover. Growing up I remember her enjoying lashings of jam spread on toast at least once a day. In hindsight it was far from nutritious but 25 years ago little did we know about added sugar…. A huge amount of sugar is typically … Continue reading →

Pickled Cucumbers & Celery

Posted on January 17, 2018 by Laura • 26 Comments

We just moved house. Well strictly speaking we moved units. I say that because house prices in Sydney have skyrocketed so much in recent years that you now need a cool $1 million (and more) to purchase an ‘average’ Sydney house. It’s a city where opting for a unit/apartment can be the only way to … Continue reading →

How to Preserve Lemons

Posted on November 8, 2017 by Laura • 28 Comments

Too often I’ve been tempted by a Middle Eastern recipe only to be disappointed after spotting preserved lemons on the list of ingredients. Not because I dislike preserved lemons but rather they’re not a pantry staple and, until recently, making them myself hadn’t crossed my mind. But my ‘preserved lemons recipe disappointment’ is now a thing of … Continue reading →
