Being at home in quarantine has made all of us stop, pause and think. We've been forced to slow down and look at what we enjoy doing, watching, eating and drinking. Before all of this, I would make myself a quick iced drink with soya milk poured over pre-frozen coffee cubes; it was fast, easy [...]
This Gujarati dish was adapted from a recipe that my mum makes, and it is delicious. I wanted to make something tasty using leftover padron peppers and jalepenos, and this masala mix truly transformed these simple ingredients. Quick and easy to throw together, you can substitute the padron peppers for mild chillies or even bell [...]
As a life long vegetarian, I feel like I've been living the non-meat life well before it was "en vogue". I remember a time (not so long ago, I might add) when eating out meant choosing between a mushy mushroom risotto and a side plate of chips, that may have a whiff of animal fat. [...]

What a mix of flavours and textures; they all [...]
Chickpeas are hands down one of my favourite ingredients. They add a wonderful creamy texture to many dishes, and they are super healthy, filling and just so delicious! I make this recipe A LOT because it's so versatile: serve it with pitta and/ or rice for a quick and easy Indian meal, or add a [...]
Tofu: one of my fridge essentials. I. Love. It. It's fresh and versatile, filling yet light. I love how any flavour you add to it gets immediately absorbed, enabling you to create delicious and healthy meals in minutes. Today, I made one of my go-to easy recipes when I want a quick, healthy and flavourful [...]
I love pasta. I could eat it every day. Plain, drizzled with olive oil and topped with chilli flakes and cheese, drenched in tomato sauce, smothered in pesto....I love it all! This recipe combines roasted aubergine (one of my favourite snacks) with spaghetti, and the result is a tasty and filling dish, that is hearty [...]
