When I left Boston just after the record-making arctic winter this year to come home to a Sydney winter I wasn’t overly happy… I do love my sunshine! That said, there have been many afternoons of lovely winter… Continue Reading “sheperds pie”
I can’t remember the last time I cooked something a little gourmet from scratch! My partner is currently working out of the country during the week so figured he deserved a home cooked meal before flying out again early tomorrow morning. It was a… Continue Reading “stuffed poblano peppers”
With much gratitude, I am privy to delicious homemade vegan dumplings courtesy of my ‘sister-in-law’ (something that’s way out of my humble skill set) and other random vegan dishes when we visit. On Sunday, I was served up a super simple yet super delicious… Continue Reading “quinoa and avocado salad”

It doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes I get a nasty craving for something creamy… and attending to this craving vegan-style has been easier than I ever would have thought! This dish is cooked, but if you want something raw, check out my chili… Continue Reading “creamy mushroom and leek pasta”
It wasn’t my intention to do two blogs in one day, but you have to strike while inspiration is hot, right?! My goal for 2013 is to try a new recipe every week, and given it’s Sunday of the first week, I had to… Continue Reading “spanish lentils and mushroom stew”
To be totally honest, family holiday meals in the chilly New England climate get me a little down. Being 100% raw was the worst – bringing raw burgers and a dehydrator to the ‘in-law’s’ was kind of embarrassing and no one ever really wants… Continue Reading “mushroom and lentil loaf”
So I know this recipe might get me in ‘trouble’ with some of my strictly raw friends, or those that don’t ever eat honey (or peanut butter for that matter), but sometimes I like to compromise a little so I can cook a meal… Continue Reading “peanut vegetable stir-fry”
