Triple nut pesto.
What do you do when you are given a massive bag of fresh organic basil? You make pesto of course! I put three different nuts in this recipe. The cashews are soaked to create the creamy consistency, and the walnuts and pine nuts are processed seperately to add a different element of texture. This one is pretty straight forward so I will get straight to it... WHAT YOU NEED: 1 1/2 cups tightly packed basil 1/2 cup activated raw cashews 1 fresh garlic clove salt to taste 4 tbsp g

Peanut & coriander rice paper rolls.
These are without a doubt one of my favourite meals to make when entertaining. A guaranteed crowd pleaser that uses fresh and vibrant ingredients making for a healthy and light snack. I am yet to make these for an occasion where there is any leftovers. If you are new to rice paper rolls and are not familiar with how to cook with them, I have a few pointers: - Use a wide, shallow dish to fill with water to soak the rice paper. I use a large frypan. - Never soak more than one s

The most sensational mushroom fettuccine.
This one is what you feed to someone/anyone that thinks being vegan means living off a bunch of kale and pumpkin seeds. Hands down the most decedent pasta I've ever eaten and will probably take all of your will power not to go for the second serving. My particular recipe is a combination of white button and shiitake mushrooms, although any combination of mushrooms you love/have in the house will do the trick. I used an organic basil fettuccine but again! You are the creator

Garam masala cous cous.
I would have to say, this is one of the easiest salads you will ever make - and with the best outcome too. Try taking this to your next gathering and see what the verdict is. The use of fresh herbs, spices, different textures, and the combination of sweet and salty is why this salad is a winner. I love having the leftovers with corn things and avocado for lunch. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The beauty of cous cous is that it is a perfect blank canvas, soaking

Guaranteed dip demolition.
One of my favourite party pleasers - the triple layered dip. If you serve this one up with your choice of biscuits and/or bread, guests won't even miss the non-existent cheese platter! The beauty of this dip is that the lemon and lime juice preserve the contents, allowing you to prepare the day before, giving you one less thing to organise on the day/night before your guests arrive. FIRST LAYER: 1 can of whole chickpeas, drained. (save the liquid/aquafaba instead of tipping i
