  • Cinnamon Apple Porridge

    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! This time, after our trip to Nagano to visit a friend, her family kindly gave us some of their homegrown apples! They’re a little tarter than…

  • Vibrant Mexican Salad

    Vibrant Mexican Salad

    I first made this Mexican Salad as part of a Tex-Mex cookout I did for one of my younger brothers a few years back. Whilst I have gotten a lot better at dressings and balancing seasoning than I was then, it still marked an important change with my experimentation and confidence whilst cooking. One of…

  • Traditional Miso Soup

    Traditional Miso Soup

    Miso soup. Nothing else quite warms the heart in the same way. It’s comforting heat, and the delicious, umami-packed flavour make it a soup worth craving. The best part is, its insanely customisable! The photographed soup is made with dried Wakame seaweed, and some silken tofu (firm tofu works too). However, one of our personal…

  • Heartwarming Porridge

    Heartwarming Porridge

    This porridge has been on our breakfast rotation for so long that I can practically make it with my eyes closed. (Please don’t try using hobs with your eyes closed though, that’s probably dangerous) It’s filling, warming, and endlessly customizable, so you’ll never get bored of it as long as you change your toppings now…

  • Lucia’s Classic Hummus

    Lucia’s Classic Hummus

    I was inspired to start making my own hummus once I tried a Red Pepper Hummus Wrap from a food truck that would come by my local college. Since that point I have tasted and made hummus with all sorts of wacky ingredients, from spirulina to chocolate, but nothing quite beats the true classic hummus,…

    Warm Cauliflower Pomegranate Salad with Roasted Hazelnuts

    This warm and flavourful salad recipe is as delicious as it is surprising! The Sweet and juicy pop of the pomegranate seeds balance perfectly with the roasted flavours of the hazelnuts and cauliflower. Topped with some slices of creamy ripe avocado, once you try it, you’ll see just how satisfying a warm salad can be.

  • Vegan Nikujaga

    Vegan Nikujaga

    This is a Vegan interpretation of a delicious Japanese classic, courtesy of our friend Mai! The sweet but flavourful broth turns what would be a standard stew into a truly heartwarming Japanese experience. You can experiment with different vegetables and mushrooms too if you would like!

  • Melón con Pesto

    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…

  • Melon Mint Slushy

    Melon Mint Slushy

    This is the perfect slushy for a hot summers day when you want to be refreshed! Make sure to choose a ripe melon, the ones with the rings on them are the sweetest. Freeze it in advance and you can make this whenever you like!
