Almost every Australian I know is obsessed with Cherry Ripes. It’s one of those things that Australian visitors bring with them when they visit us here at our Australian workplace – a giant bag of cherry ripes. People literally go wild and they disappear within moments. Those that missed out hear about it for days… … Continue reading Vegan Raspberry, Chocolate & Coconut smoothie bowl (Raspberry Ripe)
Risotto is one of my favourite things to cook. Even when making it whilst home alone, there’s something romantic about the process of gradual stirring and adding of stock whilst the rice slowly starts to get creamy. For something a bit different, I tried my hand at a vegan take on the good ol’ risotto,… Continue reading Vegan pearl barley and wild mushroom risotto
It’s still cold and grey here in Paris and there’s nothing better than a comforting bowl of porridge to warm up and make you nourished from the get go. For a change from the comforting oats that have such popularity (with good reason!) I gave amaranth a shot in the spotlight, and boy did she… Continue reading Coconut amaranth porridge (vegan & gluten-free)

It’s pretty rare that I’m in a baking mood (far too exact a science and I really dislike failures) but for whatever reason, I recently felt like just that: being exact and risking failure. Calling it for 2016 – take more risks! Still on the vegan bandwagon, and trying to keep things extra complicated by cutting… Continue reading Vegan gluten-free pumpkin, orange & spice muffins
In keeping with the ‘new year cleanse’ mentality (still detoxing from late 2015, ahem last week…), a super-salad filled with nourishing wholegrains and vegetables topped with a delectable dressing, a bit tangy, a bit salty. Add to that some seeds for protein (in addition the complete protein from the quinoa in the wholegrain mix) and… Continue reading Wholegrain supersalad with kale, avocado + more (vegan)
Christmas has come and gone and the new year is almost upon us. If you’re anything like me, you may have overindulged over the last week… that extra slice (or two) of cake(s), cheese, wine… One of my pet hates is wasting food, but that doesn’t mean I should have to gorge it!! A lesson… Continue reading Winter vegetable & quinoa bowl with avocado, lime and tahini dressing
Spaghetti bolognese/meatballs is the ultimate. Anytime I ask Mr P “what do you want for dinner?” the response is always, without a doubt, “spaghetti bolognese/meatballs”. “Great… Again?! Are you sure? Sure you don’t want to venture out a little… something Asian maybe?” (is my usual, come ONNNN response). Nope, no venturing. Bolognese/meatballs it is. Again.… Continue reading Vegan Lentil “meatballs” with marinara sauce
Even in this mid-winter chill, I love mixing up smoothie concoctions. I admit, not all are successful, but sometimes there are delicious winners which are not only super healthy, but delicious too. It goes without saying that all smoothies are easy! This carrot cake smoothie is loaded with vitamin C and beta-carotene from the carrots; protein from… Continue reading Carrot cake smoothie
I admit, some nights I come home after a long day at work and all I want to do is sit on the couch watching trashy TV which kills what remaining brain cells may still be functioning. On such evenings, I want food in my belly ASAP. A no-brainer, quick fix, nourishing meal that will… Continue reading Mid-week defeat: Express broccoli soupv
