This recipe was a spontaneous creation, born out of a wander through our local supermarket where we found the two winning ingredients: Mission street tacos and the amazing Naturli vegan mince. Street tacos are smaller, thicker and softer than the corn tacos or larger burritos that you often find. I love eating in Mexican restaurants…

Garden Risotto
This is beautiful recipe was the result of a summery veggie patch, overflowing with fresh produce. Both courgettes and green beans are in season at the moment, and to make the most of eating them fresh, I’ve been dreaming up new recipes. A hint of thyme, plucked moments before cooking, adds the finishing touch. Ingredients…
Curried sweet potato & broad bean fritters
Somewhere between ten and five pm on a Saturday I usually have a lazy lunch. Simplicity is always of the upmost importance, as well as finding a way to sneak in a poached egg or two. This little recipe took under thirty minutes to whip up and is a lovely way to be kind to yourself…
Trio of sweet potato wedges
I like my potatoes sweet. Regular spuds are the most boring ingredient in the world, only passable when smothered with cajun spices and served with sour cream. With this outlook, I’m quite delighted that sweet potato fries and wedges are speedily taking over every menu in town. You too can cook these little morsels in…
Beetroot Burger with Halloumi & Yogurt Coleslaw
One of my little vegetarian fears is cooking a Sunday lunch for guys. Don’t get me wrong, I know many lovely vegetarian men (including my excellent father and brother), but sometimes I find myself cooking for a hungry group who really don’t believe vegetables can fill you up. My solution in this situation is nearly always halloumi. Many…
Simple Summer Salads
London is heating up and what could be better than a picnic lunch? Your options are plentiful: a day lazing by the river in Bishop’s Park (Putney Bridge), sitting on striped deck chairs near Buckingham Palace (Hyde Park Corner), or a working lunch watching the tennis or cricket with a glass of chilled pinot grigio…
Quiche with goats cheese, mushrooms and thyme
Ah quiche. This particular baked item has an abundance of memories for me. Firstly, my lovely ex-flatmate Rob used to make a quiche most Sunday nights (a busy culinary day if we consider Sunday Sudanese Lentils) and after church a ramshackle, every changing group would be treated to a slice. More recently it’s become an…
Egyptian Baked Eggs
I’ve been thinking of breakfast quite a lot lately. Or to be exact, more about brunch. The thing is, just two months ago I moved to the land of the Scots. And while haggis, shortbread and whiskey rein supreme, my lovely new city has only just embraced what us Australians have treasured for so long…the…
Mexi Jenga
Green chili mexi-beans with corn fritters Serves 6 Mexican food is too much fun. It’s fresh, feisty and goes well with tequila. What more can you really ask for? The word on the street is that mexi-parties are springing up all over Sydney (at least according to my trendy buddy Gabs) and this little feast…
Vegetarian Lasagne from Dalton HQ
My poor mother married a vegetarian and then later down the line watched as her seven year old son was converted to cheese burgers sans the meat patty…twenty years on and my sister and I have also gone to the dark side and now that 80% of Dalton HQ are vegetarians, this recipe is a…
