Soups and Sauces
Soups & sauces are a huge part of cooking. Without them, you would be missing out on a lot. There are light broths like this Chilli Noodle Broth. There are comforting and filling soups like this Creamy Potato Soup. Or for a quick recipe, you could try this 5-Minute Aioli.
Strawberry Vinaigrette
Why not experiment with a basic dressing by adding fruit? This strawberry vinaigrette has a wonderful flavour and the fruit allows the oil to blend in much more easily. Oh, and did I mention that it takes no longer than 5 minutes to make? So, what is it that makes this vinaigrette awesome? Well, a…

Chilli Noodle Broth
I love a good chilli noodle broth. Especially when I have a blocked nose and I want to clear my sinuses. I used vermicelli rice noodles in this dish but you can use whatever noodles you like. Ramen noodles, udon noodles….go nuts!! However, keep in mind that different noodles cook at different times. This dish…
Blanched Asparagus with Healthy Hollandaise Sauce Recipe
So, Asparagus and Hollandaise, a classic combination. Now, when I say healthy hollandaise sauce, I mean a healthier alternative. Hollandaise will never be completely healthy because a lot of fat is required. The same goes for other emulsification sauces. What makes this hollandaise sauce healthier you ask? Well, I used vegetable oil instead of clarified…

Mushroom and Pepper Gravy
Ok so before we get into this Mushroom and pepper gravy recipe. I need to confess something right now. Some of you may hate for this but here it goes. I….can’t….stand….mushrooms, just can’t stand them. The smell, the aroma, the taste, the texture. The annoying this is that I wish that I liked them. I…
Rum Flavoured Salted Caramel Sauce
Believe it or not, this post is not supposed to be about rum flavoured salted caramel sauce, it is actually supposed to be about a Morrocan flavoured lasagna. But it completely failed. Turns out that yoghurt dries out when you stick it in a hot oven. Not to mention that the filling didn’t have enough…
Vegetarian Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Soup
It has been a while since I have made a soup for the blog, so here we are, roasted cauliflower and leek soup. A very comforting dish but with light, subtle ingredients. And that is why I roasted the cauliflower first instead of just boiling it. I wanted to try and achieve another dynamic of…
Minestrone Soup
Since I only have one soup recipe uploaded on my blog so far I thought, why not try to make a minestrone, as it seems to be a dish everyone loves. It is filling, hearty, it is perfect to have in winter and it is very easy to veganise (yes that is a word I…
Easy Butterscotch Sauce
So today’s post is about a naughty decadent treat, but if you have been well-behaved and have been having your 2 fruit and 5 veg. There is no shame in drizzling your ice-cream with butterscotch sauce every once in a while. Also, it has been a while since I posted a dessert recipe so this…
Mayonnaise with some variations
If you are a fan of mayonnaise you will love this post. So many sauces are made from a mayo base so I wanted to go the extra mile and show off it’s versatility, rather than just writing a mayonnaise recipe and be done with it. Although mayonnaise probably shouldn’t be something you want to…
