Paleo Hacks
Ketchup
This is so simple I hesitate to call it a recipe. So lets call it what it really is….the answer to your goddamn prayers. We all know someone who might need to go to a K.A. Meeting or two, it might even be you, but i promise this healthier version tastes just like the...
HOW TO MAKE POACHED & SHREDDED CHICKEN
This is a quick and easy thing to know how to do. It's great to knock up any day of the week so there's protein in the fridge to help you chuck together fast snacks and meals. You can use skinless/boneless chicken breast or thighs or a mixture of the two. layer your...
Beetroot and Roasted Walnut Dip
Not enough dip for your chips? Not enough chips for your dip? Total disaster. I have the solution to your First World Problems. Make your own. You are now in control. Not some supermarket overlord who wants to decide your snacking limits.
Basic Mayonnaise
Seriously, who can be arsed making mayo the tedious cheffy way books tell you, by whisking in drop by drop of oil? Not this little black duck that’s for shizzle. I’ve got things to do, people to see, Game of Thrones to watch. This here mayo is...
Ajvar (Balkan Red Pepper Relish)
Is it from Serbia? Macedonia? Croatia? Who cares, its damn delicious! Use it on any meat, as a dip or to jazz up your eggs or veggies.
Thai Pumpkin Soup
It’s been grey skies and non-stop rain here in Dubai this week, which inspired me to make soup. That’s a lie, it actually inspires me to watch Netflix and do sweet FA, but this is a food blog so that’s probably not going to cut it around here. So...
Swede, Carrot & Pumpkin Soup
Soup, soupidoop, soupidoop, soupidoopidoopidoop…if you didn’t just sing that like you were the missing member of Salt N’ Pepa then who even are you? It’s not soup weather around these parts right now, but I love me a little fridge clean out, and...
Sonoma Chicken Salad
I’ve only been to Sonoma Valley once, but I’ve eaten this Sonoma Chicken Salad a thousand times. It’s my go-to lunchbox filler and if you’re smart, it will become yours too. It’s its honesty that I like, what you see is what you get. None of that...
Mexican Chicken Soup
This soup is so damn good you’ll want to build a wall around your kitchen and keep it all for yourself. Hahaha, sorry for the terrible joke, but seriously, the Mexicans gave us guacamole, so Trump you idiot, have some bloody respect.
Kale Salad with Sweet Onions
Everyone is quick to hate on kale. “Why’s everyone so obsessed with kale?” “Kale tastes like swamp water!” kale is the reason why people can’t parallel park!” Well you know what? Kale is good and honest and won’t do you dirty like that two-faced...
Curried Cauliflower & Parsnip Soup
So it’s not really the season right now in Dubai for soup, but it’s always the season for veggie-filled, ridiculously easy, quick meals. I honestly don’t know how there is still a market for that sodium-soaked tinned stuff. It’s veggies, stock and...
Carrot and Beetroot Salad
I could totally bang on about all the health benefits of this salad-the amino acids and fibre of beets, the hormone-balancing magic of carrot, the anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant properties of pomegranate. But I won’t. Instead I’ll just say, this...
Broccoli Soup with Tahina Cream
We get a veeeeery small weather window for soup and tracky dacks here in Dubai, so when it happens I’m going to take full advantage. Now, while your tracky dacks might make you look like a hot mess on the outside, this bowl of green goodness will...
Baked Peaches Nut Crumble
Do you remember that song ‘Peaches’ by The Presidents of the United States of America? Such a stupid song, but so damn catchy! When I was a kid, my mum grew peach trees in our backyard and just like the song, every summer there was millions of...
