What on earth is a Buddha bowl, you may ask? Well, while these bowls of goodness have many different names, thanks to the power of the internet, this is the most likely origin for the name: “Buddha woke up before dawn every morning and carried his bowl through the roads or paths wherever he was…

Barbecue Mushroom Steaks
How do you know that what you’re passionate about is obvious? When your birthday and Christmas presents reflect those passions. I received five books this Christmas, all of them encompassing things that I am interested in, and clearly discuss a lot. Of those five, three of the books are food-related (I know, only three?!). One…
Honey Roasted Carrots and Parsnips
This dish is an easy one, and one that features on many tables for Sunday roasts and on Christmas Day. All you need are your root veggies, some honey, salt and pepper and a baking tray (plus an oven of course). I felt the need to flood the blog with vegetable dishes, and food with…
Mushrooms with Blue Cheese & Honey
It’s nearly Christmas!!! The countdown this year hasn’t been as movie-centric as my Christmas countdowns usually are. Mainly due to getting Uni work done, to be honest. But also, because every spare moment I have, I want to cook or bake, and write about it to share with you all. I say you all, as…
Sauteed Apple and Brussels Sprouts
I’ve posted a lot of sugar-filled recipes recently, all in the name of Christmas. But we can’t forget the humble vegetables that grace *most* tables during the Christmas period. Carrots, parsnips, swede, and Brussels sprouts. I love Brussels sprouts, although I know that wasn’t always the case. I am sure I went along with the…
Butternut Squash & Spinach Risotto
You know me. I love risotto. I love your classic mushroom risotto, and I love different flavours of risotto. One thing I’ve been cooking a lot recently is butternut squash. It’s strange, it was never something we ever had at home. Mum never really made pumpkin or squash-based dishes at home. Courgettes, absolutely. Aubergine, of…
Kale & Broccoli Rice
I had some rice leftover from dinner the other day, and I didn’t want it to go to waste. But, I didn’t really fancy just having the rice as it was as a side dish, nor did I feel like making fried rice. So, I got my hands on some kale and broccoli, chucked it…
Butternut Squash & Carrot Soup
It’s the season for squashes and soup. It’s starting to cool down here in HK, although the humidity is still in the 80% range. I’ve previously posted Good Woman’s Soup from my mum’s treasure trove of magazine clipping recipes.This soup is similar, in that it requires an immersion blending after all of the veggies have…
Homemade Stock
I always loved how convenient stock cubes were: just add to boiling water, stir, and use. But, there’s just nothing quite like homemade stock or broth, especially when you eat as many vegetables as I do. What do you do with your veggie scraps? Unless you have a compost, my bet is they get thrown out…
Roasted Pepper Bruschetta
When faced with the task of a pot luck for a small group of people, due to a friend visiting town, I wanted to go all out and make a million things. Reality set in when I realised that I had too much work due over the coming weeks to justify spending hours and hours…
Green Veggie Burger
I found the original recipe for the Green Warrior Burger on My Food and Happiness’ blog. Her blog is amazing, and I have made several things from her blog before. I’ve been eyeing up this burger recipe for a while, but never got round to making it. I’m always a bit uncertain when it comes…
Chilli & Tomato Jam
I’ve always had a thing for chilli jam. It’s so versatile, and can add depth and a kick to any dish. It’s great in a sandwich, on a burger, or with cheese and crackers. I’ve always got chillies and tomatoes in the house, and sometimes I don’t get much use out of them before they…
