This week’s recipe, curried parsnip soup, is a bit of a special one. Not just because it’s tasty and nutritious – and it is – but because it was personally recommended to us by Lorraine Shaw, two-time Olympian – and winner of the Commonwealth Games. We always want to learn …

It turns out gỏi cuốn has a lot of names. I first tried a similar recipe from a German cookbook, and it took me a while to hunt down the name. But find it I did, and gỏi cuốn is the original name. These delicious little summer rolls have become …

Sweet potato, avocado and cashews must have been the holy trinity of vegetarian cuisine in recent years.  And rightfully so! You can create many beautiful dishes with these ingredients. They work perfectly together as you’ll see once you’ve tried our new beauty – this Raunchy Sweet Potato Salad! We’ve kept …

How about we make a deal? And no I don’t mean a Theresa May – Europe kind of deal. A real deal. A Lentil Tacos Deal, to be precise. How about we promise to supply you with a recipe so awesome, so tasty, and so easy that you’ll want to …

This is a recipe that neither myself, Hauke or Kat can take any credit for at all. It’s a favourite recipe of Jansen’s – the chef of our ebooks, Breakfast in Six and Lunch in Six. Both books are based around quick, easy and tasty exclusive recipes using six or …

I knew about pasta arrabiata long before I had ever tried pasta arrabiata. That was thanks to the excellent Eddie Izzard, and his now infamous Death Star Canteen sketch. Well worth checking out. So what is pasta arrabiata, anyway? Arrabiata itself is a sauce based on tomatoes, garlic and chilli …

If you’ve followed us for even a short amount of time, it might have become obvious that I love sandwiches. And now I love sandwiches EVEN MORE as I’ve realised I can put tempeh in them. Mmmmm, tempeh sandwiches! Tempeh is a relatively new discovery for us, but it’s quickly …

I honestly never thought I’d see the day when I’d be writing about sprouts – and absolutely loving them. Brussels sprouts and many people have a love/hate relationship – though maybe that lessens a bit with age. If you’re here looking for a brussel sprouts with balsamic vinegar or cream …

This month is a month for favorites. Or is that favourites? However you spell it, chickpea wraps are one of our favourites. And you know why? Because they include wraps. And chickpeas. Chickpea wraps. The name is quite fitting. Something else that’s a favourite of ours are recipes that are …

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in our time of recipe creation then it’s to listen to others. This easy green bean salad is another classic – not designed by us, but rather by Hauke’s grandma. Yep. Not the grandma of creamy cucumber salad fame, but rather the other grandma. …

Sometimes decadence is important. And this leek risotto is decadent. And important. Don’t get us wrong – we eat healthy food all the time, and know the incredible value of it. It’s imperative to our well-being and health. Nutrition is something we take seriously, and indeed, pride ourselves on. Our …

Cucumber Sandwiches – the Dos and Don’ts This cucumber sandwich with cream cheese recipe started out as a bit of fun, but we soon realised that cucumber sandwiches are a pretty serious recipe. Well, in relative terms anyway. I’ve eaten a lot of sandwiches in my life – as I …

This falafel salad recipe really made us think. Is it ok to use falafel mix? Or even pre-packaged falafel? For the most part we really do like to promote whole foods over processed – they generally have more flavour, they’re cheaper and pack more of nutritional punch. But sometimes, we …

You may have noticed a slight trend recently. Over the last few weeks we’ve spent some time to really pull back on ingredients to see what could be made with whole, easy to find healthy foods. This carrot and apple salad is one such recipe. So, Hauke phoned his mom …

You’d be forgiven if you think we’re obsessed with broccoli and cauliflower. Not only do we now have broccoli and cauliflower soup, we also have a broccoli and cauliflower salad, and a roasted Mediterranean broccoli and cauliflower bake. That’s a lot of broccoli and cauliflower. And you know why? Because …

Ah dates. That flurry of excitement, of expectation. The buzz of the unknown, and the possibilities still to come. The…oh wait. Well, date smoothies are still exciting! Right? Delicious, certainly, when made this way. We’re in complete denial that summer is coming to an end, whatever the looming rain clouds …
