By popular request, and in time for Halloween 2020, I bring you the English language version of a whimsical, tasty recipe that falls on the wholesome side of the Halloween treat spectrum. I created these happy little jack-o’-lantern sandwiches for a project I worked on with one of my clients, Friggs. This is not a…

LOADED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH ZESTY LENTIL SALAD
We might not all have the luxury of sharing food the way we used to, but when the opportunity arises to enjoy ourselves with loved ones – and that enjoyment includes something deliciously zesty, creamy, crunchy and savoury all at once – it should surely be taken. That brings me straight to this delicious, ever-so-shareable…
GRAIN-FREE, NATURALLY SWEET VEGAN CHOCOLATE PANCAKES (a one-bowl, easy gluten-free recipe)
As cafés and restaurants are off-limits for so many right now, those of us who love a good weekend brunch out surely miss having the option to enjoy one. Thankfully we can still enjoy a long breakfast or lazy brunch at home. And, in the case of this recipe, all it takes is one bowl,…
CARAMELISED FIG SKILLET PIZZA-STYLE PANCAKES + farewell to this blog + a journey from an anonymous food blog to cookbook, part 1
It is with a very sentimental and somewhat heavy heart that I announce the impending closure of this particular blog chapter. Unless you’ve shared the good, bad and everything in between via a blog before, you probably cannot understand the attachment I have to a place that has given me the ability to connect, express…
GRILLED NECTARINE & AVOCADO PIZZETTAS (and some reflections on anxiety)
As summer creeps back in (thank you, Sweden*!), it’s time to celebrate with family, friends and perfectly summery festive food! These pizzettas are a take on my popular Nectarine & Avocado Toasties of a couple of years back. Made simply with Mexican pita breads and cashew cheese, they’re a light, simple lunch or wholesome addition to your…
KICKING SUGAR TO THE CURB (some myths busted + a giveaway spot on the I Quit Sugar 8-Week Program)
**UPDATE** The competition is now closed and the winner was drawn fairly (live on Snapchat) and randomly using a random name picker tool. Congratulations @dromvittran and thanks so much for the interest everyone! I wish I could give you all a place on the program. For those who are interested in joining this round, it’s…
ICED MOCHA MYLKSHAKES (with a superfood boost)
A customisable treat that anyone can enjoy, these frosty mocha shakes are a perfect pick-me-up, containing extra protein and superfoods for lasting energy and an endurance boost. Originally created for the Food of Thrones theme of Redemption, I dedicated this recipe to the love-starved “black sheep” of A Song of Ice and Fire. And, while treats…
CHOCOLATE & FENNEL LACTATION COOKIES (gluten/fructose/dairy-free & IQS-friendly… with no brewers yeast)
Before I launch into this post, I feel compelled to state that I am hesitant to call this recipe a “lactation cookie” recipe, even though it is based on the standard lactation cookie principles (sans brewers yeast). Firstly, there’s a deliciously unusual cookie flavour profile made up of low-sugar, gluten/dairy-free ingredients and a recipe that’s customisable… and thus is…
CHUNKY MONKEY BANANA BREAD GRANOLA by I Quit Sugar (+ a Healthy Breakfast Cookbook review from a veggie perspective)
Prior to Oliver’s arrival, I was given a copy of the Healthy Breakfast Cookbook by I Quit Sugar and had the opportunity to test some of the recipes (and do a little make-ahead meal prepping too before I headed for the maternity ward!). With the next round of the 8-Week Program about to kick off (registrations close in just a few…
BROWNIE BATTER NUT BUTTER (fudgy, chocolaty, wholesome & delicious)
As the title of this post/recipe suggests, you can expect this nut butter creation to taste like delicious fudgy, chocolate brownie batter. When I posted this on Instagram yesterday, I had many requests for the recipe. So, for all those who asked (and anyone else who may be interested), here it is… and, honestly, it’s…
