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 …

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.

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 …

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.

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 …

This healthy sweet potato mash recipe was one born out of pure frustration. After looking around online almost every ‘healthy’ mashed sweet potato dish was most definitely not; they’re all covered in cream, slathered in butter or drowned in milk. Or if they avoid dairy then they’re stocked in sugar …

Vegan food rocks. We know that, and have done for a long time. But to some, and even with awesome recipes like this roasted & creamy corn soup, vegan food still has a stigma to get over. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is. No matter, we’re here to …
