Sticky vegan miso roasted carrots
Years ago, I used to make slow cooked parmesan carrot dish as one of my regular dinner party dishes. It was so good… carrots cooked down with loads of butter until they were dense little nuggets of carroty, caramelized, buttery goodness and sprinkled with parmesan – each bite was a umami flavour bomb.

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.

Mark Bittman’s Congee-Inspired Savoury Porridge Recipe
Although I love breakfast food, the breakfast food I love most is that special-occasion-Sunday-brunch kind of food that you just can’t eat on a regular weekday because it’s either too rich or too time consuming to make. As a general rule, I tend to be a savoury unami person and so, a lot of the…

Crunchy Sesame and Pistachio Damascus Cookies Recipe
Last week, when most of the people I knew were engaged in the great Australian bake-off of Anzac Biscuits for Anzac Day, I decided to swim against the tide and bake some Damascus cookies. Many years ago, I used to work in a café in Melbourne and we sold massive amounts of a house-made version…
