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…
Vegan Pizza
I miss Pizza. I know that seems a bit silly, since there’s a recipe for one right here. But what I mean is, I miss the regular kind of Pizza – the thick doughy crust, loaded with cheese. Omg it’s so good… I know it seems a bit sacrilegious to say that after all of…
Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Christmas is coming and, for me, ‘tis the season of chocolate! Of course, Easter is another season of chocolate. And actually, now that I think about it, my birthday had me stuffing my face with chocolate for a month. Okay, so I’m a chocolate fiend. Really, at any given moment I’m just looking for an…
Raisin Scones
These are called Raisin Scones, primarily because that’s what I had in the cupboard one Sunday when I had a carb craving and felt like doing some baking. They can easily be made as Date Scones, or Cranberry Scones, or whatever dried fruit takes your fancy. For some reason, my cupboard seems to be full…
Apple Crumble
As I edge more into my 30s, I’m finding that Saturday nights snuggled on the couch watching Netflix is my new idea of a good time. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I went out and painted the town. The last time I ventured outside after 7pm on a Saturday night, I was going…
Lentil Turnovers
I always think it’s nice to reveal a little bit of the background and story behind each of my recipes. I reckon it gives them a bit more character. The story behind this lentil turnover recipe is a bit bizarre though. Well, not really bizarre, maybe just… odd. I wanted to eat more kale. It’s…
