I'm always making quinoa, but I rarely make it plain. I always add things like beans, nuts and lot of vegetables. It's so easy and quick to make so it's perfect for when you're in a hurry and need something quick. I like to make a huge batch and store it in the fridge to have for lunch throughout the week. It makes an amazing lunch on the go - better than your average sandwich and definitely much healthier, and more interesting (in my opinion!).
You know sometimes when you come across a recipe and straight away you think "This looks too difficult" and you move on before actually reading the recipe and knowing what goes into it, well for me, homemade gnocchi was one of those recipes! I'd seen a few people making homemade sweet potato gnocchi but I've always thought there is no way this is not going to be fiddly! Now I realise how completely wrong I was!
I love vegetable and bean burgers. They may not taste like meat but they can be just as satisfying without leaving you feeling heavy and sluggish from the high fat and oil content. To me, normal meat burgers are a treat - one that I would only probably have once or twice a year if even that. These vegan burgers however, I would happily eat everyday!
This is my go-to, super simple and quick salad dressing recipe. I've called it a 'salad dressing' but truthfully, I don't only use it for salads - I love adding it to some steamed vegetables, makes them taste so delicious!
This quick prawn coconut curry has been a dinner staple in my household for years. Whenever I'm stuck for meal ideas or want something quick and easy, I always come back to it. This is my version of a 'curry in a hurry' - It will only take 30 minutes for a lovely, warming curry that's full of flavour. Why I love making this quick prawn coconut curry: The secret lies in balance. Every element plays a role, creating layers of flavour that feel complex despite the short cooking time. Prawns cook quickly but carry a natural sweetness and delicate briny flavour that pairs beautifully with coconut milk. The richness of coconut softens heat and spice, creating a silky base [...]
I feel that Brussels sprouts are neglected all year round apart from Christmas. I can only find them locally around this time and it makes me sad, because I LOVE BRUSSELS SPROUTS! I realise not everyone shares my passion for the humble sprout and I guess I can understand why. I always used to boil or steam my Brussels sprouts which I must admit did get boring after a while. That's before I discovered roasting them instead!
