This week I've decided to share my delicious beetroot inspired masala dahl recipe. This rather easy blend, contains leeks, red lentils, tomatoes (in the form of passata/crushed tomatoes), garam masala and a hint of coconut.

In some parts of the world the aubergine is called eggplant. I live in England, so in this article, I am going to refer to it as 'aubergine'. What's not to love about the aubergine! When picked raw it has a sort of spongy, proud texture. It comes in lots of different colours and varieties [...]
Flash back moment... to making jam when I was a little girl in my Mam's kitchen. Beautiful! Such a joy to see fruits magically turn into a little jars of sweet deliciousness. But, oh goodness me, it did seem to take forever to make (and involved an unfortunate amount of sugar - yikes!). Easy healthy [...]
Hemp seeds play a rather important role in my life, featuring almost daily in my cuisine. In fact, if you ever came over to my house for dinner, you'd likely find them appearing somewhere on the plate. If they aren't in a topping, sauce or pie base, you'd likely see them appearing as part of [...]

In true conscious kitchen style, every ingredient I use is naturally brimming with goodness, helping to provide a plethora of health-affirming deliciousness. I am constantly changing my [...]
I am often asked to share my chunky mushroom gravy, so here we go! This is the perfect partner for healthy loaves, like my Gluten-free Seed Roast Loaf and dinners that need a tasty sauce. It's simple to make, because gravy really doesn't need to be complicated. I've been making it like this for as [...]
Tahini is a beautiful creamy paste made from sesame seeds. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy seeds and works a real treat for salad dressings and sauces. In this recipe I’ve created a tahini sauce especially for falafels. The tasty, creamed blend of garlic, coriander and tahini complement the warming spices and chickpeas of falafels perfectly.
Sometimes a recipe just needs a sauce. If you are going to great lengths to make sure that everything you eat is healthy, then why not enjoy a rich, tasty healthy sauce too. Let's face it, shop bought sauces are usually full of stuff we really don't want to be putting in our body. This [...]
