Since I’ve started writing this blog, I realised that the most common thing I cook is coconut flavoured dishes with vegetables and quinoa. They’re so tasty and delicious but also so nutritious. Always make sure to have some organic coconut milk in your cupboard. Replace it with canned soup or processed food that might be...

One of my favourite ways to eat is to enjoy a mixture of different foods. Today I used a variety of things from my fridge. I had a salad with lots of sprouts which is a great idea to add to the side of any meal. This will help to increase your nutrient levels throughout...

I had some brown lentils and rice cooked already and decided to make a tomato based meal. I usually repeat this weekly but it really helps to have whole grains cooked ahead of time. Try it! It might be that extra kick you needed. When you look in the fridge and see grains that are ready...

Some of my favourite breakfasts are actually smoothies. They are not only delicious and thirst quenching, but they can be packed full of nutrients.

The best thing about making a meal is waiting. Well, the waiting part isn’t that fun and I always end up eating it the dish on the first night (and while I’m cooking), but once it sits for a day or even two, it tastes so much better. The flavours start to absorb into each...

I’m still loving my mint sauce dish from a couple days ago. I needed to finish it so I had it with a spicy curry. It’s great to balance a hot dish with the yogurt based sauce. There was a little bit of coconut milk added but it was a tomato based dish this time. ...

The weather has been so warm in London lately that it’s been nice to have what I call “summer salads”. I don’t have an exact definition for summer salads but they basically just include fruit, nuts and other light toppings.
