Japanese Curry Rice
When I first went to Fukuoka in 2018, what soon became my favourite comfort food was Japanese curry rice, or カレイライス (kare Raisu) as the Japanese say it! It was warm and comforting, and always seemed to be made by an old sweet ‘obaasan’. This version is just as comforting, only made vegan! Here I’m…

Cinnamon Apple Porridge
Porridge is one of our go-to breakfasts, but sometimes it can get boring with the same-old toppings, so why not spice it up with some cooked apples and cinnamon!

Melón con Pesto
Melón con jamón is a traditional Spanish dish, pairing the rich, salty Jamón Iberico (a cured ham originating from Iberia), with pieces of fresh, sweet melon. Problem is, I went vegan a years back, and so this dish was absolutely off-limits! Fortunately after a romantic meal in Sevilla, we were inspired to make our own…
