Whenever I know I am going to have a busy week I try to cook in bulk on the weekend so I’ve got enough food to keep me going for a few days. I usually go for simple recipes though, like most things I cook. I don’t like overcomplicating things. This is one of my go-to-salads…

Video: Cherry and vanilla bliss balls
Bliss balls are some of my favourite snacks. They are super easy to make and one recipe makes enough balls to last me for the whole week. It’s finally Summer here in Australia, which means it’s cherry season! One of my favourite fruits. But if cherries are not in season where you are feel free to use…
Broccoli, leek and goats cheese quiche with buckwheat pastry
I love making quiches. I usually bake a big one that will last me a few days. Or I can also freeze a few slices to eat later on. I try not to eat dairy often, but whenever I treat myself to it I prefer to eat goats cheese as I find it much easier to…
Gluten free (and refined sugar free) banana bread
I didn’t want to brag about it but I must say I make a pretty awesome banana bread! Just ask my friends who have tried it :) I just don’t make it very often. The recipe I used to make all the time used wholemeal spelt flour and coconut sugar. Recently I have decided to…

In my opinion there’s nothing better than that! I don’t have a huge amount of experience with Japanese cooking but I’m always interested in experimenting with different ingredients so…
Corn and zucchini fritters with avocado and tomato salsa
I love making this recipe for brunch on the weekends. I got the idea for this from Dr. Libby’s Real Food Kitchen – one of my favourite cookbooks. The original recipe calls for sweet potato which is awesome, but I didn’t have any so I added my own touch and substituted with zucchini and it worked…
Quinoa and chickpea burgers
One thing I’ve struggled with in the kitchen for a long time was being able to make the perfect vegan burger patty. I tried a few times and failed miserably. I just couldn’t manage to get the balance of flavours or texture right. But I never gave up! Most recipes I have seen for vegan…
Banana and buckwheat pancakes with cashew cream and strawberries (gf + vegan)
It has been a while since I have posted a recipe here. After a long holiday and lots of busy days at work I think I am finally back into blogging mode with lots of new recipe ideas in mind. I can’t wait to share them here. So last weekend I was craving pancakes for…
