Having access to real food is something to be thankful for, and growing food and cooking a meal with some or all of what you grow is a beautiful thing. Even if that looks like a few herbs in a cup on your kitchen sill, spinach or watermelon climbing up a fence or picking fruits […]
Recently it’s been chilly and as I type this, it’s -7 °C. Today’s post is a relaxing vlog sharing cold weather walks and three cosy vegetarian meals to make:
Hey, today we’re making cous-cous stuffed melongene (eggplant) with sautéed mushroom & melongene, kidney beans stewed down in coconut milk and roasted carrots. Another light yet filling meal that makes a decent dinner because it doesn’t sink like a stone in your stomach. Since cous-cous is so light and part of the meal is baked […]

Today, we’re boiling breadfruit, not til it’s soft enough to mash but […]

Of course you can add something else you think will go well or better with these ingredients.This is my standard recipe that I tweak every now and then. Sometimes bean or rice noodles are in the mix or a few […]
Peas and beans are light on the pocket and on the tummy when included in a meal. It still amazes me that we’ve been given food in the form of fruits, vegetables and ground provisions and sustenance and medicine…

In today’s post I’m sharing some doable meal ideas to help anyone who wants to make healthy flavour-filled vegetarian dishes using real ingredients. ‘Cooking from scratch‘ is just […]
You don’t have to be the most exceptional cook in your friend group or a pro chef to enjoy cooking. It can seem a bit intimidating at first ; maneuvering around the stove, timing things in the oven, learning how to use those kitchen gadgets and making a meal from what may look like random […]
