I just adore homemade granola! It is so easy to make, and much healthier and more cost-effective than anything you’ll find at the store! There are so many different ways you can change it up, and I tend to vary the spices, nuts and sweeteners to get different textures and tastes. Oats are so…
Marmite Cashews
When I return to the UK for a visit, one of the things I really love to do is to walk around the supermarkets and see what new products and flavor combinations have popped up since I was there last. English food has a pretty bad reputation in the States – but in actual fact,…
Best Baba Ghanoush
There are many different styles of Baba Ghanoush – and many different add-ins. Levant (Eastern Mediterranean) styles often mix in diced onions or tomatoes, and Egyptian and Israeli styles include tahini, lemon and even hard-boiled egg. Lebanese versions may include pomegranate seeds and/or syrup. Iranian styles often add cumin. Some of the dishes are…
Turmeric Almond Crackers
I always try to take wheat-free crackers with me when I travel. In the past, I have missed out on eating dips, cheese or appetizers because they have been served with either regular bread or crackers. I’ve learned to always have some wheat-free crackers with me to avoid feeling left out nowadays! There are some pretty decent packaged wheat-free…
Triple-Bite Ginger Granola
Here’s another, slightly different granola recipe for you to try. I wanted to make a ginger-flavored granola – and at the third attempt, I think this one is a winner! Three different types of ginger are used in this recipe: fresh, ground and crystalized. I think it’s a great way to start the day, and…
Marmite Kale Chips
Marmite is one of those things that you either love or hate. I happen to be in the love camp on this one! I found it to be a really important addition to my daughter’s diet when she was little. Both my children were brought up as vegetarian, but my daughter really didn’t care for…
Blue Corn Serrano Muffins
When I discovered that some of my health problems were due to a wheat allergy – I have to admit I found it really difficult to come to terms with the fact that I would no longer be able to eat bread. Having people comment, ‘What? Go without bread? I could never do that! I just…
Coconut Milk Yogurt – Recipe One
I really love coconut milk yogurt – but I really don’t like the price tag. Or the additives. Considering how simple it is to make your own from raw shredded coconut flakes, I encourage you to give this recipe a try. For me, there’s nothing quite like feeling chuffed you’ve made something really amazing out of…
LEMON HUMMUS
There are as many different hummus recipes out there as there are ways to spell it, and I love to experiment with different flavor combinations on this classic appetizer. Sometimes, though, simple is best and this hummus really stands out on a meze platter. It is just a regular hummus, but using a few different…
Vegetable Pakoras
Pakoras are a simple and delicious start to an Indian meal. They are also fantastic as a simple lunch, served with a crisp salad and coconut, mint and tamarind chutneys. They can be eaten hot or cold, and any leftovers are great in a sandwich too! I just love Indian food. I find it very…
This Food & Travel Blog is all about my love of fruits and veggies, and about using as many as I can during the course of the week - whether at home or abroad. In fact, you could say I'm mental for veggies!
