No time to be a cornophobe!
I am absolutely addicted to corn. We eat it fresh almost every night in salads. Have you tried it fresh? You’ll be hooked! Last night I made vegan corn fritters with heaps of fresh basil and tonight I made delicious polenta cakes from the amazing Roberto Martin’s (Ellen and Portia De Rossi’s personal chef) Vegan [...]

Well I hope it is because I’m making it for some friends. Ingredients: Organic French lentils 250gms Small handful of thyme [...]
Ashgrove bakery and Gerbinos

Why it makes sense to be a vegetarian
Many times over the last eight years people have asked me the question, ‘why are you a vegetarian?’ I can understand this question and I think it’s natural for people to be curious. But I never turn around and ask, ‘why do you eat meat?’ Which after learning more I am staring to think is [...]
Breakfast packed with energy for a long day!
Some days are so busy I don’t get time to eat lunch. This is why having a good breakfast is so important to me. Lately in the cooler, rainy weather we’ve been having I’ve been making rice porridge with linseeds. I boil this up on the stove same method as you cook rice. Eg 1/2 [...]
