Halloumi and Pomegranate Salad

This vibrant Halloumi and Pomegranate Salad brings together warm, chilli-honey glazed halloumi with a sweet-tart pop of fresh pomegranate seeds, juicy tomatoes, and crisp cucumbers. Tossed in a velvety pomegranate-almond dressing, it is the perfect example of how you can make a hearty salad that’s as delicious as it is satisfying.    Why I love making this halloumi and pomegranate salad: One of the biggest challenges when serving a salad as a main meal is ensuring it is hearty enough to keep you full, but also tasty enough to keep you satisfied. While grilled chicken or salmon are the common go-to protein options to add to a salad, I actually prefer using halloumi. It's hearty, easy to cook and you [...]

Tiramisu Overnight Oats

This tiramisu overnight oats tastes like a decadent dessert but functions as a nourishing, power-packed breakfast rich in protein, fibre, and antioxidants. It’s the ultimate prep-ahead meal that can easily be adjusted to your likes and dietary preferences.  Why I love making this tiramisu overnight oats: I'm a huge coffee fan - I absolutely love the taste of coffee and the aroma it fills the kitchen with. It's one of my favourite scents (think the smell you're hit with when you walk into a cafe). However, coffee doesn't love me back. It leaves me feeling jittery, on edge and heightens my anxiety. It gives me nervous energy instead of making me feeling awake and alert.  That won't stop me from [...]

Beef and Bean Stew

This slow-simmered beef and bean stew is the ultimate low-maintenance, high-reward comfort food, heavily inspired by the traditional Iraqi Fasolia I grew up eating.

It's the perfect, freezer-friendly meal prep to warm your soul and fuel your busy week. Beyond its incredible ease and soothing warmth, this stew bridges two worlds: the rich, aromatic tapestry of Middle Eastern heritage and the modern need for practical, high-protein, nutrient-dense meal prep.        Why I love making this beef and bean stew: Growing up in Iraq, the scent of Fasolia wafting through the house was the universal signal [...]

Vegan Crème Brûlée

This 4-ingredient vegan crème brûlée strips away the stressful water baths and fussy egg techniques of the classic recipe, giving you a flawlessly rich, velvet custard with that signature glass-like shatter. It is the ultimate dairy-free culinary hack - perfectly portioned for a solitary moment of self-care, yet seamlessly scalable for your next dinner party. I'm all for single serve desserts. I live with my partner who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, so whenever I make sweet treats (which I do a lot!), I find that I'm the only person eating them. It doesn't help that I can't have big meals/portions of anything because it triggers my IBS and I don't like wasting food. That's where single serve [...]
