Flash Gordon Chilli
One hazy afternoon recently I was in the kitchen, pantry-staring, feeling tired and wondering what the easiest route to something hot and hearty was going to be. This recipe is the result. No chopping necessary! It’s as easy as throwing three things into a saucepan: tomatoes, beans and spices. Then basically all you have to…
Health by Stealth Caulifredo Sauce

Tuscan Tomato & Cannellini Beans

Miso-Cashew Cheesy Sauce
Art by Liz Clements via Supersonic Electronic Good condiments really bring a mix-and-match style dinner together. I whipped this up last night in a fit of inspiration; it is my first ever pulled-outta-my-own-head victorious cheesy sauce. Superproud of this one! It is so flavourful and, if I do say so myself, moreish as hell….
Victory Strikes Again Vegan Lasagne
Gwen Stefani via HFGL @ VFiles (love Gwen ♥) Finally, a lasange recipe that isn’t gianorm potluck size! This makes enough for up to four servings – you want to use a baking dish around 5 x 9″ in size. Tofu-phobes, soy allergy peeps and those suffering from tofu fatigue take note: This is…
Rock Your Face Off Ginger-Lime Tofu
Image via Hex Boyfriend@ Tumblr My food notebook records this as “tofu marinade #4”; the three others were inferior proto-types of the glory that is this insanely flavourful ginger-lime version. Fourth time’s a charm! This is no subtle tofu. It packs a big punch: tangy, spicy and super fresh. You will be going back…
