Cauliflower Teriyaki

Some of you may have seen during the week that I witnessed honey harvesting! My uncle had set up the equipment in our garden months ago, so seeing what nature had brought to life was pretty cool. Obviously, I was dying to try out the honey in a recipe, and this gorgeous Cauliflower Teriyaki was…

Homemade Lotus Biscuits

I remember first being introduced to lotus spread (the delicious caramelized biscuit spread) for the first time in Abu Dhabi by my friends who were ordering it as a frozen yogurt topping. I really don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but if I’m to have a craving, this spread would be one of them…

Aubergine Parmigiana

Did you know that Aubergines are high in nutrients such as Folate, Potassium, Vitamins C & K, as well as being high in antioxidants, and fibre, which may contribute to maintaining good blood-sugar control? (source) It’s also a very versatile vegetable (I’ve already added an Aubergine Lasagna recipe to my blog) which can be used…

Freshly Baked Beetroot Pizza

Beetroot pizza is something that combines my huge love of pizza (obviously) and my love of beetroot and ends with the best of both worlds – a gorgeous dough with sweeter undertones and a nice purple glow to the crust. Beetroot definitely doesn’t turn pizza into a superfood, but it does make the pizza a…

Georgian Khachapuri and Walnut Salad

After trying Georgian cuisine when I visited recently, I swore to myself that I would try to recreate the experience from home if I could because I enjoyed it so much! Khachapuri (the bread filled with cheese that looks like a boat) was the first on my list and I finally got around to making…

My Favourite Fresh Tacos

One of my favourite cuisines is definitely Mexican. I love how, even though the recipes are always delicious, they can be made pretty healthy too. I find that indulging in a meal of tacos leads to a lot less regret than indulging in a tray of nachos, as there’s a much less quantity of carbs…

Turkey and Veg Casserole

I don’t think there’s much more appealing, when it comes to cooking, than easy, tasty and healthy dishes. My original blog – Endorphin Stew – was influenced hugely by the fact that I love making stews and casseroles. When it comes to meal prep – extending beyond the standard chicken, veg and rice makes the…

Vegan Mac & Cheese

Insta polls are the way to go. Since I’ve become less active online (and feeling guilty) due to life getting in the way a bit more, it’s always so reassuring to get the engagement and direction from you guys as to what you’re more interested in seeing me cook on my instagram. Obviously, whatever task…

Cod and Prawn Tomato Cashew Pasta

Those of you who follow my blog probably know by now that I am a huge fan of cooking with cashews. This is my latest recipe to feature them and, as always, I like to keep it easy, quick and delicious. This can easily be made into a meat dish by substituting the fish for…

Cheesy Pasta Bake

For me, this recipe screams comfort meal and is a perfect, easy dish to throw together at the end of a long week, and still includes some healthier fats than a traditional pasta bake. Simple dishes like this are so appealing to me to make, and a safe option if cooking for a number of…
