Roasted Pear & Zucchini Vegan Bread

I want to live to a ripe old age. Reaching centenarian status could be ambitious but 90 or even 85 will do just fine. But, for me at least, more important than the numbers of miles on the clock, is getting right to the end in good health – fully mobile, mentally sharp and free … Continue reading →

Carrot Top Pesto (vegan)

Posted on February 13, 2018 by Laura • 19 Comments

Apparently it’s set to be one of 2018’s hottest food trends. It ticks the vegan, sugar free, gluten free and paleo boxes and is a trend I’m passionate about. ‘Root to stem’. Root to stem cooking is all about minimising food wastage and finding creative ways to use every single bit of a vegetable, rather … Continue reading →

Mushroom Loaf (a veggie roast)

“Que Sera Sera”. As a small child these were the first non English words I learnt – thanks to a song my mother sang in her rocking chair to entice me to sleep. The phrase means ‘whatever will be will be’ and it came to mind this week when I was thinking about the new year. Looking … Continue reading →

Roasted red cabbage steaks

Posted on November 21, 2017 by Laura • 28 Comments

Until recently my red cabbage repertoire was limited to two recipes – one a conventional raw cabbage slaw and the other Jamie Oliver’s braised Christmas red cabbage. But after reading more about the health benefits of all things purple I wanted to find another way to use red (also called purple) cabbage. Hence my welcomed … Continue reading →

Homemade Curry Powder

Before diving into the recipe for this spice mix I thought it worth talking a little about one of the main ingredients – turmeric. Turmeric has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties. Perhaps that’s why it’s often called the ‘king of spices’ and is said to have ‘healing powers’. But what … Continue reading →

Gorgonzola Gratin for World Vegetarian Day

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Laura • 12 Comments

This weekend is no ordinary one – firstly it’s a long one here in Sydney thanks to a public holiday on Monday. But just as significant is Sunday – the 40th anniversary of World Vegetarian Day. World Vegetarian Day was founded in 1977 by the North American Vegetarian Society. Annually on 1st October Vegetarian Awareness Month … Continue reading →

Before August arrives I wanted to talk ‘Christmas in July’. Christmas in July has become a pretty big thing here in Australia. Perhaps it’s down to the climate. Because our ‘real’ Christmas happens as the country bakes through hot Summer temperatures – hardly ideal for red wine by the fire or a hearty roast with all the … Continue reading →

Whole roasted broccoli with spices

Posted on July 18, 2017 by Laura • 12 Comments

To say that a heap of broccoli makes it way through my kitchen every week would be an understatement. Not because it’s my favourite green vegetable (a title firmly held by brussel sprouts), but because broccoli is such a nutritional powerhouse. I aim for a broccoli fix most days – not just for myself and my … Continue reading →

Dum Aloo sauce – Archana’s recipe

Posted on June 7, 2017 by Laura • 18 Comments

A few weeks ago I read a celebrity chef interview in one of those glossy newspaper magazines. The chef, a meat eater, said something that really stuck with me. He said that with daily access to Indian food he could envisage happily being a vegetarian. Similar thoughts have been shared by another famous chef, Rick … Continue reading →

Homemade ‘no nasties’ pasta sauce

Posted on May 10, 2017 by Laura • 22 Comments

Growing up I wasn’t at all an adventurous cook. Rather I took pride in mastering a few basic recipes and then cooking them over and over again. One of these recipes was a good old ‘spag bol’. When it came to my spaghetti bolognese I don’t remember following an actual recipe. In fact I’m sure I … Continue reading →
