This humble, hearty Sweet Potato & Kale Curry dish ticks all of my “ideal” boxes.

GO-TO RED LENTIL & VEGETABLE SOUP (+ Thermomix instructions)
Looking for an easy, filling, tasty make-ahead meal idea? This has been a go-to of mine for a few years now, and it’s a recipe I never tire of. I decided to give it a whirl in the Thermomix. New to modifying recipes for this machine (or even using it, really!), I had to make some uneducated guesses. But…

SWEET POTATO PIE BAKED PORRIDGE POTS (Happy Food Revolution Day, 2015!)
Yes, it’s Food Revolution Day, 2015. And rather than host an activity as I have done in previous years, this year I decided to simply cook with my family, getting the kids involved (they love helping in the kitchen!) and, in the spirit of the day, popping on a couple of Jamie’s Food Tube videos and an…
PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA & CHOCOLATE CHIP WAFFLES (vegan, gluten-free, IQS-friendly)
For Cupcake’s 2nd birthday party “waffle bar”, I created a banoffee waffle recipe and, in the process, discovered the perfect way to use up that odd soon-to-be-overripe sad, lone banana sitting oft to be found on the kitchen countertop. I have yet to share that recipe (which is one of my all-time favourites!), but on the 25th of…
A VEGAN, SUGAR-FREE TAKE ON SWEDISH CARAMEL COOKIES
A while back I wrote a very short, sharp update about my adventures in pastry school.
