Sweet potato patties

You might have noticed by now my love affair with sweet potatoes… and what is not to love with all their rich flavour and nutritional profile… did you know that only one sweet potato offers 400% of our daily requirements on Vitamin A?

Sweet & sour sticky cauliflower nuggets

Greek buddha bowl with black eyed peas #thebuddhabowlchallenge

I believe it would be a big miss not to prepare a Greek buddha bowl as part of my buddhabowlchallenge week. This one, has as a protein base (almost 13grs of protein) a Greek stable: the fabulously humble black eyed peas, which unfortunately in the Greek kitchen is only used in a handful of recipes…

Ottolenghi lentils & roasted squash salad

This super yummy warm salad is couresy of Mr Yotam Ottolenghi, who is by far my favourite chef. I found it on pinterest on the PureWowow blog and since I had an epiphany and hard ordered butternut squash from Ocado, I decided to give it a try. Mr Ottolenghi is an English Israeli chef and…
