Sweet Potato Veggie Burger

Even before I became a vegetarian I have always loved a good veggie burger.  Years ago, when I was a dancer working part-time at the local Pharmacy to make ends meet, the cafe a couple of doors up were famous for them.  It was a simple place.  A real old-school establishment that always looked a little grubby.   Old band posters covered every inch and they played rock music a little too loudly from the moment the doors opened at 7am until close. The memory of that veggie burger has always stayed with me.  I’ve tried to replicate it countless times over the years without much luck… until now.  These Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers are absolutely scrumptious!

Baby Pea and Butter Bean Soup

It finally feels like Springtime in Melbourne.  The bright warm sun and smell of jasmine in the air makes me so happy.  Kind-a like my Baby Pea and Butter Bean Soup.  Bright would be the perfect way to describe it.  Along with nourishing and delicious.  Really, is there anything better than home-made soup?

Kale, black bean, avo cream bowl

I love Melbourne in Autumn.   Although we still have the occasional warm and sunny afternoon, the mornings are dark, cold, and foggy.  The last hints of summer are well and truly over. It’s time to brace ourselves for the colder months to come.

As someone who loves to cook (and eat) this is the perfect time of year for me.  There’s still heaps of fresh produce to choose from at the market, but it’s cool enough that you can cosy up on the couch with a big bowl of colourful deliciousness and be quite content to stay there.

Veggie Tuna and White Bean Salad

Italian cuisine has always been an inspiration to me in the kitchen.  I love how it tastes and how easy it can be to create at home. It’s also a great springboard to interesting vegetarian dishes.  Take my Veggie Tuna and White Bean Salad for example.  Based on the classic Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad, it’s a vegetarian twist on a store cupboard favorite.   Bright and fresh in flavour this Veggie Tuna and White Bean Salad is quick and easy to make and super tasty to eat.

Tacos with Black Bean Salsa and Ice Tea

I love tacos.  They’re fun to make and fun to eat.  Tacos are the perfect dinner for those nights you’d rather order takeaway.  You simply lay out a range of different fillings and let everyone help themselves.  My Tacos with Black Bean Salsa are no exception.  In fact, they’re so simple it’s almost like you did order takeaway!
