The star anise-rich aroma of Gujarati daal simmering in a huge pot on the cooker will forever remind me of home. Enter One-Pot Daal Dhokli. It reminds me of my parent’s home, to be specific. Paired with rotli, stuffed vegetable curry and rice, it’s always been our staple Sunday lunch. What is Gujarati Daal? Gujarati …
Easy Rendang Tofu & Broccoli Bowls are one of my favourite dinners! Did you know that an aromatic rending curry paste can be blitzed together in a matter of minutes? Throw everything into a blender and create a beautifully-fragrant curry paste. It brightens up anything from tofu and seitan, to veggies, rice and noodles. Now …
Day 3 of toddler flu and I’m still craving noodles, veggies and broth. Vegan Broth with Tofu Skin & Noodles, to be precise. It’s become a bit of a Sunday tradition for me to put on a big pot of broth after Bodhi’s swimming class. We’re all starving by the time we get home so …

They’re not the regular unripe green bananas we eat every day. They’re Matoke; A staple carbohydrate loved by millions across East Africa and Uganda in particular. …
These Vegan Lemon Meringue Cupcakes are fluffy, tender, moist and SO delicious! I’m sorry for using the “M” word. I’m told it’s okay when you’re talking about cake. When it comes to baking, the more lemon that’s involved, the better as far as I’m concerned. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t go weak at the …
I have a soft spot for doughnuts. Doesn’t everyone? My allegiance lies with the pillowy, jam-filled variety with a light sugar coating. It has to be caster sugar as opposed to powdery icing sugar and the jam *must* be raspberry. It’s the law. The smell of fresh doughnuts frying is like nothing else. If they …
I was chatting with a friend the other day and he told me he’s trying out the Keto diet. I immediately thought back to my low carb days and about all the bread he wouldn’t be eating. I’m all about enjoying things in moderation. That’s where my trusty air fryer comes in handy. It crisps …
