Vegan furikake fries with spicy kewpie dipping sauce
I’m an old fan of oven fries (just look at my Instagram/previous blog posts/physique) but a newer fan of furikake fries. Furikake, in it’s traditional form, contains sesame seeds, bonito flakes, nori flakes, salt and sugar. Mainly out of laziness (I am officially pescetarian, after all) I decided to make a vegan adaption of the…

Spice roasted pumpkin haloumi salad with pomegranate and preserved lemon herb sauce
While I had every intention of creating this dish as an autumnal recipe, Melbourne seems to have skipped a season and gone straight into winter.

These…

Thai carrot and coconut soup (vegan, gluten free, FODMAP friendly)
It’s officially soup weather here in Melbourne. Personally, the IDEA of soup generally seems like a good one. That is, however, until reality hits and I’m either raiding the fridge an hour later. That, or unwittingly consuming enough onion and garlic to keep me in bed for the week. Neither are ideal. This Thai style…

Preserved lemon and herb pasta with haloumi, honey butter roasted carrots and fennel
So you might be thinking that this pasta looks suspiciously like the roasted carrot, halloumi, fennel and maple toasted pepita salad I posted last week. I’d like to be the first to confirm those suspicions. As I said on Instagram (I don’t want my lines to go to waste) I’m an expert in stretching out…
