So what’s a girl to do when her fridge is full of Brown Rice Rejuvelac? Why, make vegan cheese, of course!!! Blogging along with this year’s Vegan MoFo challenge really got me thinking about what foods I like that are both vegan and gluten-free… and I got sad when cheese wasn’t on that list. So […]
My fabulous friend Dani has a fabulous holistic nutrition & mindful living blog over at Enlightened Life. I love reading her recipes, and subscribe to her blog updates. This morning, I rolled over in bed and checked my emails. I was delighted to see a recipe for Orange Cacao Goji Balls on Dani’s site! I […]
One very last India post for you — and this is one of my favourite recaps! We were lucky to go to two different spice plantations when we were in South India: one in Goa, and one in Periyar (Kerala). The pictures in this post are from both spots. We had two lovely guides, both […]
You know how I said that my Whole Wheat Toblerone Cookies were my favourite cookies ever? Move over Toblerone Cookies, there’s a new Whole Wheat Cookie in town – the Whole Wheat Compost Cookie. I’ve been hearing a lot about Christina Tosi and the amazing treats she’s whipping up at Momofuku Milk Bar in New […]

I didn’t quite make it in by July, but phew! Another Daring Cooks’ Challenge, and I get to make my own nut butter! The July 2010 Daring Cooks’ Challenge was hosted by Margie of More Please and Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies. They chose to challenge Daring Cooks to make their own […]
Inspired by the great success of my Cherry Almond Granola, and having run out (after much Greek-yogurt-breakfast & handfuls-for-snacks gobbling, plus a prezzie for Mum), it was time for a new granola. And I wanted to play around with the flavours; the idea of ginger & lemon zest in a granola had been calling to […]
How did I not know how easy it is to make granola? Seriously, this was a fabulous discovery for me — I can customize granola to be exactly how I want it, and in less than an hour? PERFECT. I think I threw in everything but the kitchen sink here: dried cherries, coconut, almonds and […]
