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. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

What did the cheese say to herself in the mirror? Halloooooo me! Ok then, if you’ll forgive me, onto the halloumi salad. No more cheese jokes. Not even the one about the explosion at the cheese factory. Which was awful. De-brie was everywhere and the Swiss riddled with holes. Sorry! …

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 …

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 …

Fresh basil, salty feta, tangy sun-dried tomatoes and sweet cherry tomatoes: that’s the beautiful combo that gives these healthy egg muffins the name ‘Italian Style’. Now some might say, isn’t feta cheese strictly Greek? Well, yes and no. The Greek word feta (φέτα) stemms from the Italian word fetta, which …

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 …

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 …

Summer is here – and we need this recipe. Salads can be great, but we’re often left begging for more. That’s where coconut curry lentil soup steps up. It keeps that summer spirit high with its fusion of tropical coconut and smooth curry, complementing it with a juicy multivitamin twist. …

People ask me if I miss meat. I don’t mind the question, of course, and the answer is a resounding ‘no’ – not when I have recipes like this vegan chow mein, anyway. The most important thing with vegan chow mein is the sauce – the vegetables (or meat) is …
