Wholesome Seed Bars: A Healthy Sweet Treat Recipe
I’ve made these seed bars a few times as a wholesome sweet treat. The first couple of times I dipped them in chocolate, which made them a slightly decadent and delicious treat. This time, I was making them for this post and I kept procrastinating about the chocolate and ended eating the batch without the…

Chinese Stir Fried Omelette with Sweet and Sour Drizzle Sauce
I love this simple, free form Chinese omelette. It is brilliant as an emergency dinner (served by itself with some rice and greens) or as part of a larger meal. One important tip is make sure you use enough oil and that it is hot (but not too hot) when you pour the egg in,…

Vegetarian Gallo Pinto: Traditional Costa Rican Red Rice and Beans
Gallo Pinto – rice and beans – is a one of the most well known dishes from Costa Rica. I’d never heard of it until a few months ago, when I was browsing through Jamie Oliver’s Super Food Everyday, where he showcased a 94-year-old Costa Rican man, who gave as one of the reasons for…

Ottolenghi’s Green Pancakes Recipe: Spinach and Herb Pancakes
I love pancakes for breakfast but they never really feel that good for you, these pancakes from Ottolenghi’s book Plenty solve that dilemma by packing them with spinach and herbs. I’ve simplified the original recipe somewhat and serve them with a dob butter and a squeeze of lemon juice whereas Ottolenghi serves them with lime…
