Paleo Hacks
Nice Melons
Picking melons at the store can be a bit hit and miss, but here’s a little guide I follow to try to make more hits than misses…. When picking a WATERMELON: pick it up, it should feel heavy for its size. look for a buttery yellow spot on one side. This is where it sat...
BLOAT YOUR GOAT?
So even though we’ve learnt we’re not really built for it, we continue to consume cow boob juice in our diet. Apparently up to 70% of the world population show signs of lactose intolerance, so instead of 7 out of 10 of you continuously crop dusting with your milk...
Pan-Fried Lemon Asparagus and Broccolini
I’ve gone and given your little trees and smelly-wee spears a little veg-jazzle and made them next level. Nothing difficult, just a few little pantry staples sprinkled on top is all you need to make them look and taste all restauranty and get...
Middle Eastern Beef & Eggplant Casserole
So many names. Eggplant, brinjal, melongene, Guinea squash, or aubergine if you’re feeling fancy. It’s like this veg is creating new accounts to keep getting the one month trial…whatever he wants to be called, I’m a big fan. This dish is super easy...
Lebanese Cinnamon Chicken & Rice
If you want my advice, don’t even think twice about making this chicken and rice with all of the spice because is really, really nice! I know cauliflower rice has probably had its low-carb hey day, but I’m still coming up with ways to revamp it...
Larb Gai
I’ve been lucky enough to have visited Thailand more times than I can remember. I love the beaches, the people, but above all the food! The perfect balance of sour, sweet, salty and bitter which results in some incredible taste sensations. Larb is...
Korean Meatballs
”heeeeeeeeeeey sexy lady! Oh oh oh oh oh, Oppa is Gangnam style!” Ha, sorry, you wont be able to get that song out of your head now. Unlike this annoying (yet strangely catchy) bit of K-pop, this dish will not be a one-hit wonder in your kitchen....
Harissa & Honey Roast Carrots with Orange Tahina
Baby carrots seem to be a pretty pretentious thing to buy, but they were on sale I promise. And guess what? They taste surprisingly just like carrot. I vegazzled them up, making them sweet and spicy, then got all Nigella (minus the coke habit and...
Gemista
Gemista from another mister. The ingredients list looks long, but I promise once the veg is prepped these are a breeze to knock together. And guess what? It’s vegan! So if you’ve jumped on that bandwagon after you watched some train wreck of a...
Eggplant Involtini
Vegan cashew cheese seems like a completely wanky and pretentious thing to make, but here we are. So if you’re looking to embrace meat-free Monday or trying to cut out dairy, you’ll get onboard with this tossbag of a task and try this recipe. It’s...
Curried Rice Salad
The 70’s wasn’t all bell bottoms and sideburns you know. It was rank food as well. This though is one of my Mum’s faves that I don’t mind giving a bit of revamp and re-introduction into my paleo-fied 2017. Looking for a crowd-pleaser at your next...
Coronation Chicken Salad
Yo Queenie, I just Paleofied your chicken salad and I’m not sorry one bit. To be honest, after the dodgy car crash, the toe-sucking Fergie and the ginger Grandson that looks waaaaay too much like someone that isn’t his dad, you’ve probably got more...
CHINESE CHICKEN WINGS
Well these guys are wing-diddly-licious and just as the Colonel said, finger-lickin’ good. No 11 secret herbs and spices here peeps. To be honest, I think that shady old geezer with the dodgy goatee is bullshitting about that little catchphrase....
Celeriac Risotto with Roast Pumpkin & Sage
Celeriac is like the Kylie Jenner of produce. Not born the most attractive of the vegetable sisters, but with a little peel, shred and process, she is now totally instagram ready. She works well as fake risotto (fauxsotto perhaps?), she doesn’t go...
