Here are some favourite recipes that I love coming back to...
I love to use fruits and vegetables that are in season, what's growing in the garden or in abundance in the wild. When we look to the seasons, I believe we can nourish ourselves and our friends and whanau in the most creative, delicious and nourishing ways. I wish you lots of fun creating in the kitchen!
By Season
View All >Cosy Coconut, Red Lentil & Veggie Kitchari
I have had this kitchari on a weekly repeat this Winter, it’s cosy, delicious and very week night friendly. Kitchari is a gently spiced combination dal or lentils and rice cooked together in one pot.
You can totally load kichari with a seasonal RAINBOW of veggies to make it beautifully colourful, nutrient and fibre rich. I love to get everything out of the veggie drawer and just add a bit of everything! The coconut cream isn’t traditional but it adds an extra creamy comfort factor to the dish.
Kapu ti and Morning Glory Muffins
I made these muffins for our final Te Reo Class Matariki Morning Tea. These are my gluten and dairy free version of Samantha Seneviratne’s New York Times recipe for Morning Glory Muffins.
Kumara, Leek & Spinach Frittata
I took this wonderfully QUICK and EASY Kumara, Spinach and Leek Frittata to my Te Reo class for a delightful Matariki Morning Tea.
Grey Days and Golden Ghee
I love making ghee on grey days. If you’ve never made ghee before, you should definitely do it, you will LOVE it I promise. The smell is divinely nutty and the colour is of liquid sunshine.
Blackberry Almond Cakes with Boysenberry Icing (gf)
It’s school holidays and so rainy here in Dunedin, however it’s the perfect weather to get cosy and bake something fun and delicious! This recipe was chosen and made by Laksmi, my 7yo.
Oat, Coconut Cookies with Apricot & Hazelnut
These are such great all rounder cookies! Plant based and are excellent for the lunch box, hiking, biking, adventure treat when on a mission or cup of tea at home.
