Like many of you out there, my favourite meal is pizza. Yep, even this dairy-free, wheat free and mostly meat-free lady still can’t stop dreaming about pizza – the traditional kind that is, all doughy and loaded-with-cheese. (Mmmm… is it dinner time yet?) So for all you fellow-pizza lovers out there, you can imagine the…
Recipes
Pumpkin & Walnut Loaf
I have put pumpkin in a soup, in a pie, and now I’m putting pumpkin in a cake! You thought I was exaggerating when I said that I could eat pumpkin by the bucketful, didn’t you? Haha! Nope, it’s me and pumpkin all the way baby! If I could marry an edible plant, then Pumpkin…
Roast Vegetable Salad
Despite the size of the directions, this Roast Vegetable Salad is one of my easiest recipes to make. The main key to its success is in making sure that the roast vegetables are cooked just enough – but not over cooked. And that’s about it! The rest is easy. This recipe is my go-to when…
Mixed Bean Potato Hotpot
I’m bringing on the British food today. Here is my vegan version of the classic Potato Hotpot. Mixed Bean Potato Hotpot! Although born and bred British, I’m not patriotic when it comes to British food (or at all really). I will admit though, in my humble opinion you can’t beat a good cup of tea….
Yorkshire Puddings
Welcome to another one of Faye’s ‘British Classics with a Twist’ series. I know there’s a British food theme going on here. But hey, you start with what you know, right? This time, we’re making Yorkshire Puddings – but specifically gluten-free Yorkshire Puddings. Why are we making them gluten-free? Well… because I want to eat…
Cannellini Tomato Soup
Cannellini Tomato Soup, with a whole LOTTA veges! I really tried to put as much vegetables in this thing as I could, while still maintaining the integrity of the flavour. I also like my soups to all have some protein as well as more than 2 vegetables – that way it makes them into more…
Zucchini Corn Fritters
Okay. I’m living with a cat at the moment, so you’re gonna get a few cat stories coming from me. “How does this relate to zucchini corn fritters?” I hear you ask? Well, it doesn’t quite frankly. But I’m doing it anyway. I have the honour of living with my roommate’s cat Zuri. She’s an…
Sweet Potato Pie
“All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)… and the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)…” Yep, it’s that time of year. Autumn. I can’t say that I’m overly jazzed about the approaching cold winter nights and grey lifeless days that are to come, but hey, at least the autumn colours…
Mushroom Burgers, with Lentil Patties
As I write this it’s late January, and the summer heat has arrived in NZ with a vengeance! While family and friends in the Northern Hemisphere are freezing their hinies off, Christchurch has had a run of 30°C+ days. Not that I’m complaining! I love the heat. Honestly, I swear I was designed to live…
Chilli-bean Capsicums
Chilli-bean capsicums… or bell peppers to some. A tasty yet not-so-original late night brainchild of mine. That last 15 mins just before I fall sleep at night seems to be the time it all wants to happen. The most amazing melodies pop into my head, song lyrics seem to write themselves, and I’m struck by…
