Yes, I know, I already have a banana bread recipe, BUT I usually have a fair few variations of the same recipe as they happen somewhat accidentally when I run out of certain ingredients. I have been using whole spelt flour a bit lately and have created a banana bread with it, and it’s pretty … Continue reading
I’ve always known this cake to be a Persian Orange Almond cake but I thought I should probably get my facts straight before putting it in the title! So thanks to Google I now know a bit about one of my favourite desserts. This cake seems to have many origins (which isn’t unusual for recipes) … Continue reading
Even though I have been a bit slack in the recipes department lately, I have been cooking! But these days they are minimal fuss, minimal effort meals!. I am still making small steps to opening my business (eeek, it still feels surreal!) and unfortunately taking photos of food before I scoff if doesn’t really cross … Continue reading
Apart from cooking the quinoa (or cous cous for an EVEN quicker option) this salad only requires a bit of chopping and assembly. I usually make the salad the day before an occasion for extra absorption of the dressing. If you are making it to eat straight away, it will still be scrumptious 🙂 You … Continue reading
It’s interesting hearing the responses you get while doing a juice fast! Some people think it’s extreme, some just don’t get it. Then there are others who put you up on this pedestal of juicing lordship because they couldn’t even comprehend doing it – they’re the ones that make it worthwhile 😉 So as I … Continue reading

You will need: – 2 cups almond meal (not compacted) – 1/2 cup cocoa powder – 1/3 cup coconut sugar (you can substitute for another type of sugar but you may … Continue reading
As our evenings are getting cooler and cooler I seem to start transitioning to more warm cooked foods and less raw. I absolutely love curries and tagines and good vegetable stews. But, nothing beats an amazing vegetarian chili!! Oh it tickles the taste buds and warms the soul! No more description is really necessary so here goes … Continue reading
………………………………………………………….. I am creating my dream. Well, still early stages. But it’s definitely happening and that’s all that matters, right? I have spent so many hours thinking about how I’m going to do it and where I’ll get the money to do it and where will I even find the time to do it. God! … Continue reading
I must say I’m a bit ashamed that I have left posting my biscuit recipe til the day before Anzac Day 😐 But I’m thinking I can just make up for it by telling you how awesomely delicious they are. And healthy! Gone are the days of adding a cup of sugar and 1/2 cup … Continue reading
I get asked a lot how I can eat so much salad. I find it to be such an interesting question because I love salad so much! How do I even answer that? I think many people get confused and assume that a salad is just a combination of cold, watery vegetables that take too … Continue reading
Don’t you think we sometimes get too caught up with complicating meals, trying to make them too fancy and healthy? Ok, fine that may be just me. Whatever. Anyway I want to share with you a really easy (and fun!) meal which can be adapted so many ways depending on what you have in the … Continue reading
I’m such a herb nut. I love everything about them and there aren’t many I don’t like. So a spag bol for me is just as much about the herbs as it is the meal! This is quite a simple recipe and difficult to stuff up, except for if you burn it of course! Red … Continue reading
In case anyone hasn’t noticed, I LUUURVE quinoa! It is a great addition to any salad and easily absorbs any dressings you add to it. This salad in particular is a combination of some of my favorite flavours – cumin, coriander seeds, parsley, lemon, sesame….oooh scrumptious! Before we get to the recipe, I’ll give you some info on … Continue reading
My oh my these are AHH – MAY – ZING!! You will have even your most anti-health food friends coming back for seconds. I made two batches in two days and they didn’t last past the 3 day mark, although I may have had a lot to do with that myself. Any who, apart from all … Continue reading
The recipe is finally ready! I bet it has been a long days’ wait for some 😉 I’ll give you a quick rundown on raw cakes for anyone who hasn’t tried them or attempted making them before. First of all, they’re pretty darn easy to make and quite difficult to stuff up. Most recipes require … Continue reading
Who likes chocolate?! Haha what a silly question. Who DOESN’T like chocolate?! At times I don’t enjoy making these because they come and go in such a flash they’re all but a distant memory…sigh. I guess that just means make more? Homemade raw chocolate is quite a bit pricier than store bought, sugar filled crap … Continue reading
Sauerkraut is such a funny food. How do you tell someone that they should eat pickled cabbage and enjoy it? A lot of the time it just creeps people out if they have never tried it before, so here I am to tell you why you should get into it! I was born in Bosnia … Continue reading
OK, I feel kinda silly even writing a recipe for this one because it’s so damn easy! But I know many people who would love to know my secret coconut yogurt recipe. Well it’s not secret anymore so here it is… – 3 young Thai coconuts, should equal to about 2 cups of meat (if … Continue reading
Now this is a subject that is very close to my heart. I am such a strong believer of keeping things local! In fact, my wanting to spread messages like these was the main reason I decided to create a blog and not just a website for my recipes. Even though there are many people … Continue reading
I really love vege patties, especially when they’re easy to make and taste delicious! The perfect summers meal, these patties can be served on a bed of greens, in a pita pocket or even in a bun. You will need: 500g sweet potato 450g green lentils, cooked (if you are using dry, I measured mine … Continue reading
Kombucha is a fermented tea that is often drunk for health benefits or medicinal purposes. Pronounced kom-boo-cha, it has a taste as unique as it’s name and the result is something like a mixture between a cider and a sweet sparkling wine. The origins seem to be unknown with stories claiming use centuries ago in … Continue reading
A Shepherd’s Pie is more of a winter warming meal but who’s to say it can’t be enjoyed all year round? With a bit of a twist on the traditional version, it’s still full of flavour while being kinder on the waistline. I prefer the taste … Continue reading
This salad is so delicious I love the combination of orange and balsamic. I’m using butternut pumpkin but you could use any roast veg you like or even a combination of leftovers. Mine took a while to do since I wanted to slow roast the pumpkin whole, but … Continue reading
This banana bread has to be one of the healthiest out there! And with many people trying to maintain a low gluten diet, there is a high demand for gluten free recipes. So, I shall deliver! It is quite dense because of the almond meal and bananas so it’s kind of more like a tea … Continue reading
This is a really simple meal which has the ease of just chopping the veg for a salad, but is also quite filling in itself with the addition of quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) for protein and bulk. You can use absolutely anything you have in the fridge but try and use a wide variety of veg … Continue reading

You need a few base ingredients then the rest is left to your creative mind… 20 medjool dates, pitted 3 cups dried, shredded coconut 1/2 – … Continue reading
These are two of my favorite not-milks. Almond milk and rice milk. They can both be used in cereals, milk shakes, smoothies or just as a nice refreshing drink. I don’t really drink tea or coffee so I haven’t tried them as a substitute in these so maybe someone can do that and let … Continue reading
