Coconut Dahl (workshop)
Dahl is a South Asian lentil stew with lots of flavour. In this version, the peaches add some delicious sweetness while the raw spinach gives a fresh bite. If you’re not a fan of warm fruit, you could also replace the peaches with tomato.
Read MoreMexican Fajitas
This classic tex-mex recipe is inspired by ‘refried black beans’, a traditional staple of the Mexican kitchen. Yes, it seems like a lot of beans but it forms into a paste and is just right for 8 big wraps. Two more tips: don’t be afraid to use lots of coriander in the Guacamole and when in doubt, add more lime juice!
Read MoreSpinach and Cauliflower Oven Pasta
This is a simple oven dish that is very flexible. You could variate with different kinds of vegetables, but I would keep in something with a bite like the sun-dried tomatoes.
Read MoreBrussels Sprouts with Kale and Apple
Not everyone likes brussels sprouts, but its bitter taste creates a delicious combination with the sweet apples, sour vinegar and umami from the cheese.
Read MorePita Bread with Peanuts
A healthy fast food alternative to make at home. The umami taste of the mushrooms comes out even more when sautéed in soy sauce. This simple version can be upgraded by choosing shiitake mushrooms.
Read MoreTortellini with Tomato Pesto
As a teenager, the only thing I could make for dinner was tortellini with ready-made tomato sauce. This is a homage
to that time, upgraded for more taste and healthy veggies.
Smokey Black Bean Chilli
In the late 1800s, the chilli queens of San Antonio created chilli con carne. They entertained the plaza and supported their families in a time when women weren’t supposed to. Hopefully this recipe can inspire you to also do something that isn’t supposed to be: a delicious chilli sin carne. The secret ingredient is coffee! You won’t taste it at the end, but it is an essential ingredient to get the ‘smokey’ taste.
Read MoreCarrot and Potato Roast
Potato, carrot and parsnip are a dream team. The caramelized carrot and crispy potato and parsnip wedges are delicious with mayonnaise. The salad adds some freshness and protein.
Read MoreSauerkraut Potato Mash
The vegetables do all the work in this recipe and combine lots of different flavours. The sweetness of the apple balances the sauerkraut and the mushrooms add a nice umami taste. Even someone who usually doesn’t like sauerkraut liked it.
Read MorePotato and Pesto Bake
A simple oven dish for the potato lovers, with the pesto giving ‘a taste of summer’ as one review described it.
