Dukkah Baked Pumpkin & Macadamia Salad

This delicious spring inspired recipe is the perfect light meal as the weather warms up and salads appear in your daily routine. With warm elements such as the baked pumpkin and crispy chickpeas and cool fresh lemon macadamia butter and feta to marry winter and summer.

I developed this recipe for Aus Macadamias, to celebrate the blossoming of the macadamias in Spring. We even got to shoot these recipes in a blossoming orchard in Alexs hometown, Alstonville. The smell of the flowering trees is just beautiful and if you have the chance to visit an orchard I highly recommend it.

Pesto Pearl Couscous Salad

I am totally loving this salad recipe right now. It is really filling, full of flavour, and so easy to make. The addition of the spiced chickpeas on top gives it a big plant protein hit. Eat it on its own or serve this along-side some veggie patties, tempeh strips or if your not vegan/veggie - some eggs or seafood/meat.

Vegan Fried Eggs

2019 here we are!! First up on my blog this year I want to share with you my Vegan Fried Egg recipe that I shared on my YouTube channel late last year. The response to this video was INSANE!! It’s now amassed over 260,000 views. Something I did not expect. It was featured in articles, news channels and instagram accounts. I realised I forgot to write down the recipe for my viewers so that they could easily access the recipe over and over again without having to rewatch the whole tutorial hence I am sharing here the written recipe. Not only is this recipe just a fun science experiment in the kitchen but also fun for vegans who do miss the classic ‘eggs on toast’ or the many children who suffer from egg allergies.

Christmas Spiced Stuffed Squash 

I wanted to create this dish that’s inspired by my last Christmas, wintery ingredients, pumpkin spice lattes, Christmas cake, Christmas light shows and ice skating. Since Christmas is a pretty overindulgent time of the year, I have kept this recipe super healthy, and also tried to prevent as much waste as possible by utilising ingredients that would otherwise be discarded. A great dish to cook and share with your family! I hope this dish brings you joy this Christmas.
