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 …

Well, I hope the guys from Apple Inc. won’t sue me for calling this overnight oat recipe after them. Actually, thinking of it, why did Jobs (?) call his company apple anyway? Quite far away from anything related to apples. Apparently Jobs was every now and then on a Frutarian …

I call these ones High Protein Smoked Tofu Breakfast Egg Cups (in short: HPSTBEC). Ok, the name is clumsy, but I felt all the words needed to be in there. Feel free to suggest a better name in the comments 🙂 So these breakfast egg muffins taste like Tarte Flambee. …

Yogurt Parfait When it comes to weight loss recipes, different people need different things. And when it comes to nutritious breakfasts, well, each to their own. We’re going for the yogurt parfait. Or yoghurt parfait, if you prefer. Some people like my brother can eat the same thing day in, …

White Bean Salad Even after five years of recipe creating and testing, we’re still able to be surprised. In fact, it’s incredibly refreshing when recipes like this white bean salad come along and wow us in an instant. This recipe is a classic case of the sum being greater than …

I just finished watching the trailer of the movie Tropic Thunder (saw the film ages ago). And I have to say it’s a hilarious piece, oh dear. Luckily, this recipe isn’t anything like a war comedy movie. The name fits anyway, because you’re “oating” up a tropical flavour storm in …

When we’re testing out recipes, there are three ways that a recipe (like these almond flour muffins) is guaranteed to catch our attention. 1 – taste 2- speed and/or ease 3 – nutritional health benefits In fact, these three criteria are a huge part of Hurry The Food Up. Those, …

Some recipes just sing out to us. This ricotta bake is one of those recipes. It has absolutely everything that makes a perfect Hurry The Food Up recipe. Before I head into just how nutritious it is, I want to talk about my favourite thing – the speed. The PURE …

After contacting Gisele, my favourite person from Brazil, the home of the Acai Berry, I’m happy to say I now can teach you how to make an acai bowl – original style. I bet not even the hippest California Sunshine Breakfast House can serve any better. Açaí na tigela, man! …

Vegan french toast means that the deliciously loveable rogue breakfast, French toast, is no longer just for egg-eaters and milk-drinkers. A weekend favourite, French toast is a lovely soft-crunchy mix of cooked bread in a soppy sauce. It’s not easy to get it just right though – and that’s why …

There is always a reason for making vegan stuffed peppers. A few months ago we shared our stuffed bell peppers (edit: over a year ago already! Where does the time go?!) and in our own humble opinion, they rocked. And they rocked hard. The peppers were tasty, the sauce saucy …

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 …

We love feta and spinach pancakes. In fact, we love all pancakes. Part of the appeal is that we can make them just how we like – with whatever toppings we’re in the mood for. Sometimes, just sometimes, we decide we don’t want to be naughty and smother our pancakes …

It’s about time we had another risotto recipe on the site, and certainly another mushroom recipe. As Hauke and Dave both hate mushrooms (weirdos), it’s up to me to make sure this vegan mushroom risotto recipe sees the light of day. I also disagree with how Hauke and Dave cook …

We love trying new recipes. Especially when they go as well as this vegan burrito. A part of it even came about by accident, but more on that later. If you’re on this page, there’s a good chance you know exactly how great vegan food can be. Some still have …

What would you say if we told you the future of burgers is vegetarian? Well, you’d probably say something along the lines of ‘I know that already, fool! Of course the world is slowly waking up and turning veggie’. But what if I told you that quinoa burgers are the …
