The key thing that makes this special is the cashew layer, even though it’s still good without, but then it’s just a chia pudding. This batch of cashew cream yields 2 cups — freeze some and decadently enjoy the rest. If the season’s too early for fresh mango, use frozen or sub for any seasonal […]

Here in Penang, locals have a reputation for talking endlessly about food, planning their days around what to eat and where. So when our taxi driver discovers that our bellies are still empty at 1pm in Penang, he takes it upon himself to set things right. Guiding us on a gastronomic side trip, he detours […]

Satisfying, fresh and a little different with both the okra and raw noodles, this is pretty simple to pull together. If you can’t find okra or don’t have a raw vegetable spiraliser, you can still create a similar experience by swapping in some green beans and rice noodles. This version is great though, so mentally […]

For an easy lunch or light dinner, make this nourishing, flavour-packed bowl with fluffy quinoa, caramelised roasted vegetables and a creamy lemon tahini dressing. Prep ahead and use up any leftover vegetables in the fridge. For extra crispy chickpeas, pat them dry before roasting and add them to the tray halfway through cooking

A vibrant, spicy Turkish-style salad that works beautifully alongside chicken kebabs, vegetables and yoghurt sauce. Finely chopped herbs and peppers deliver authentic Turkish flavour, with Urfa biber and pomegranate molasses adding a unique depth. Balanced by a cooling yoghurt sauce, it’s equally delicious as a standalone dip.

Baba ganoush blends creamy, smoky roasted eggplant with the nutty
richness of tahini and a bright, zesty hint of lemon.

Inspired by Turkish meze platters, these
smoky, spiced vegetables are perfect
alongside grilled meats, flatbreads, or
dips like hummus and baba ganoush.
The recipe works beautifully on the
barbecue for deep char and flavour, but
you can also roast them in a hot oven.

Despite the apparent array in shops, good gluten-free crackers for dips and cheese are hard to come by.
This recipe is my quick, easy version of my activated and dehydrated crackers, skipping the labour while still delivering great flavour.
Make small batches often, as they’re best enjoyed fresh.

Bliss balls are everywhere, but many of them are a bit whatever. However, this 10-minute, no-blender bliss ball recipe delivers those nostalgic, childhood chocolate bar flavours in a healthier rendition.
