mediterranean quinoa salad

mediterranean quinoa salad

A few months ago I asked on Facebook what recipes you would like to see more of coming into the warmer months here in Oz. The most popular answer was easy and diverse salads that can be used for lunches during the week. In answer to those calls I wanted to share with you ...

chicken & kimchi rice paper rolls

chicken & kimchi rice paper rolls

The weather is warming up here in Brisbane and it’s that time of the year where we shift from hearty warm salads and braised slow cooked meals to light and refreshing dishes. Rice paper rolls like these chicken & kimchi rice paper rolls epitomise spring for me. They are refreshing, cleansing and satisfying without ...

carrot cake pancakes

carrot cake pancakes

Yes, it’s pancake time again! If you know me a little by now these types of recipe posts should be expected from month to month. For some, pancakes are pancakes. For me, pancakes are a canvas for thousands of flavour combinations and mouth watering textures. The layers of soft warm pancakes against melting nut ...

jess’s b.l.t

This is one of those posts that I hope will break the ‘nutritionists only eat rabbit food’ mould. I love a good BLT. When its done right, its like someone started a party in my mouth and every single taste bud has been invited. This BLT is a weekly tradition in our household. It usually comes ...

Not that there is anything wrong with chocolate flavoured protein balls of course, it’s just that sometimes our taste buds need a bit of a mix up. Personally I love the flavour of citrus in sweets, so ...

dairy free nachos

dairy free nachos

Everyone loves nachos and these Dairy Free Nachos are no exception. I don’t think I have met anyone to this day who doesn’t like nachos. Nachos became part of my repertoire in my years at uni (studying visual arts) when I was first out of high school. In those days I followed a vegan ...

sesame seed & turmeric sweet potato wedges

Besides my tahini addiction, I have another addiction that needs a good fix at least once to twice a week. Sweet potato wedges. To get more specific, these sesame seed & turmeric sweet potato wedges. Dear god they are amazing. I love them baked until they start to turn a dark brown on the edges. ...
