The first time I ate stuffed bell peppers was nearly twelve years ago, on Christmas Day, 2006. And it was the only thing I ate that day. To cut a long story short, we had been invited to a Christmas Day BBQ next to Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia, and it …

Sexy veggie lentil stew. Let’s face it, there’s nothing sexy about stew. But, let me explain. Looking after your body = hot. Hot is sexy. Lentil stew looks after your body, and your body will look after you. If you’re reading this at the start of the new year, and …

HOORAY! I get to write about curry again. As I go to great pains to point out, I love curry. All forms of curry, and definitely cauliflower curry. Although I grew up mostly eating Indian curry, since then I quickly learnt to love Pakistani, Tibetan and all types of Asian …

There are times when running a website like this is awesome. We ask our great friend circle of chefs for recipes, and we get sent gold. This pineapple fried rice is just that. Pineapple fried rice is great fun to make, and there’s something cool about seeing the mix of …

All throughout my childhood I had to eat rice pudding. I never liked it. It wasn’t coconut rice pudding, but still, I really didn’t like it. Actually I hated it. I’m not sure if my dear mother still reads these posts of ours, but if she does…sorry mum. They just …

Buddha Bowl. The first time I heard the name I was delighted. Delighted that somebody had named a dish that. After eating one, I was even happier. It was bright, colourful, nutritious and satisfying. But the real beauty of it is that you can make one pretty much however you …

Creamy Asparagus Risotto: quick to make, really satisfying and actually healthy, when not drenched in butter and cheese. Unfortunately there is a drawback to risottos: basically, you’re not allowed to get it right unless you have an Italian grandma, and this is why I expect someone commenting that this version …

The creation of this Easy Vegetarian Green Thai Curry recipe, and it’s accompanying post has been (from a writer’s perspective) one of our very most interesting to date. Let me explain… When we first started HurryTheFoodUp waaaaay back in the day (last year) we made a simple mantra we wanted …

Flavourful and playful pea pulao. Try saying that with a mouthful. Or don’t. Just focus on the sweet, soft onions and delicate flavours instead. It’s a light dish, but you won’t feel hungry after. The fibre takes care of that. The dish itself has been around for thousands of years …

What’s the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Africa? Sweeping plains covered with herds of graceful antelope? A majestic lion watching over his pride? Or maybe, just maybe, a bowl of peanut soup with rice? Ok, that last one’s a little far-fetched. And if peanut soup …
