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 baby spinach. Yeah...
Soups & Salads Recipes
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 spices people!...
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 salad is delicious....
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 make your insides zen...
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 BBQ? This is it. Got...
Mushroom & Chestnut Soup
Why did the mushroom get invited to the party? Because he was a fun-gi. Isn't it funny that when you were a kid you wouldn't touch a mushroom with a 10 foot pole because they looked all weird and gross, and now as an adult I'd pretty much go foraging in the woodlands...
Lamb Harira Soup
I loves me some Moroccan soup! The original is full of bloaty fart bombs like chickpeas and lentils, but I’ve tidied this guy up and pumped him full of veg instead, but still full of those punchy spices. Too delicious to just keep for Ramadan, enjoy it all year round....
Super Salad Bowl
Being a bit of a veggie freak, I’m always buying surplus to the needs of my little household. I’m like a drunk girl in a 7-Eleven at 3am when I’m set loose in the markets, touching and sniffing everything with a big loony smile on my face. I’m convinced 63 bunches of kale is a […]
Carrot & Coriander Soup
OK, so I know I haven’t reinvented the wheel here, but some flavour combos are a classic for a bloody reason, so don’t mess with it. And another thing, soup is like the most basic shit to make in the kitchen, you chuck everything in a pot and Bob’s ya knob, so if I...
Roasted Cauliflower, Eggplant and Pumpkin with Lemon Tahina Dressing
Kale, Chicken and Pumpkin Salad with Tahina Dressing
Hi kale-haters! I'm back with another yummy recipe to try to change your mind. If Mr Smith asked me "what's for dinner?" and I answered "salad", he would look at me like I was a crazy person. But this isn't just any old rabbit food salad. I wouldn't do you like that....
