10 Minute Meals

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 …

Cashew cream is amazing! It’s one of those recipes that sneaks up on you and knocks it out of the park. This recipe was shared with us by a long-term reader Sharon (and 30 Day Vegan Challenger) and it’s an absolute keeper. Part cashew cream, part cashew dressing and part …

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. …

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 …

The Sunday lunch highlight at my Grandma’s place wasn’t the roast for me. Nope, it was the cucumber salad. I know, children might have odd food preferences, but that salad was what I was looking forward to when visiting my grandparents (well, foodwise). Funny enough, when I still had no, …

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 …

High-protein ricotta pancakes. Even just writing that sentence makes me happy. We love pancakes, and when they’re simple, tasty and packed with protein we love them even more. Protein is important, and many people don’t get enough. If you’re not sure exactly how much protein you need then there’s a …

Up until a few years ago, I barely ate salad and even today it has to be something special to grab me. This watermelon and feta salad is something special. It goes without saying that watermelon and feta salad is perfect for the summer when watermelons are at their sweetest …

It’s going to be a good week. I knew it as soon as this recipe hit the top of my list. Noodle Omelette. Two of my favourite things right there – noodles and omelettes. Together. Awesome. The ultimate student food (or anyone on a budget, for that matter), it’s filling, …

It’s time to go back to basics. And this avocado salad dressing is really where it’s at. I don’t think it would be unfair to say many people find salads boring, or that the idea of lettuce and tomatoes isn’t everybody’s dream meal. But what if it could be? What …

One of the main themes of this website is to try and move people far and wide away from the extreme reliance we seem to have on overly-processed foods. These raw energy bars are just one answer of many. Take a typical energy bar, even a raw one. This is …

There are many, many reasons to love carrot and ginger soup. Firstly, it’s made from ginger. And ginger is often subject to lots of unfair treatment. If you’ve never heard Tim Minchin’s song ‘Prejudice’, you really should. Secondly, this particular carrot and ginger soup literally takes ten minutes – if …

Some recipes are deceptively simple. Although I first learnt how to make scrambled eggs with cheese when I was about 13, I just really did not know how great they could and would become. Of course, you could just throw some eggs in a pan, launch some cheese on top, …

Ahh, cucumber raita. A dish as cool as a…well, a cucumber. A cucumber that’s been dipped in yoghurt and kept in the fridge. Refreshing, and certainly pleasing on the palate too. Some people say I’m obsessed with Indian food. That’s not true. I just love it. And think about it …

If you like beetroots, you’re a lucky person. I’ll explain why in a minute. If you don’t, and you’re like me, you might still want to eat beets anyway. Or at least drink the odd beetroot smoothie. Although I was recently convinced by one of our chefs that meals including …
