With winter upon us now, soups bubbling away on the stove are a quick save when ravenous kids come off the sports field after it’s already dark. So often, this is a pre-dinner meal in my house, and I love that everyone can help themselves to a ladle of soup while I get on with…

Shakshuka with Brinjals
If you made the melanzane this weekend and have leftover brinjal, this is an excellent Sunday morning breakfast to make. One of my favourite things about the weekend is that breakfasts don’t need to be rushed. There’s plenty of time to cook, eat at one’s own pace and even wait to feel hungry before eating…
Falafel and Corn Burgers with Polenta Fried Halloumi Fingers
Hands down, the best veggie burger you’ll ever taste is this one. It’s not a “beyond meat” type of burger that tastes like beef, because it isn’t meant to. The flavour combination of falafel and corn with all these delicious spices in the mix is simply mouth-watering, and these burgers with fried halloumi make a…
Melanzane Parmigiana
This recipe is my go-to for a vegetarian meal. It really is enough on its own, but also makes a great accompaniment. You can vary the quantities to make this portion that should comfortably serve 6 or increase it to serve a crowd. With the weekend coming up, you might want to add these ingredients…
Asparagus, Fennel and Leek Lasagne

It’s made even better because of a Jamie Oliver version that turns it into a one-pot wonder. And if “eat more vegetables” has become your mantra, you’ll be delighted that you stumbled…

Halloween: Vegan Butternut Soup
Serves 8 If your Halloween is spent anything like mine, sitting on the curb greeting neighbours while the kids run around the suburb trick or treating, a cup of soup to share with friends and passers-by will probably be most welcome. And since its Pumpkin time, this vegan Butternut soup will be perfect for the…
Slow-Cooked Napoletana Sauce
This is a wonderful out of the pantry creation that requires a little time. It’s perfect cooking for those lazy Saturdays or Sundays when you can pop it on early and leave it to slow cook to perfection. It gives back in the sense that once the sauce is made you can use up a…
