I can’t take any credit for this recipe. It belongs to my friend Deepa over at GirlBoyFoodBaby. When I was at her house, she made me a gluten free, vegan cheese toasty and added this to it and I’ve been hooked ever since and can’t stop making it. Coriander is such a great cleanser so…

Zesty Burnt Aubergine Dip
Anyone who’s ever eaten at my mum’s house (or any of my aunt’s houses) knows that aubergines take centre-stage. They are a Mediterranean staple and are so versatile. Funnily enough, I actually hate the smell of aubergines grilling, so I actually put them in the grill when I don’t need to stay in the kitchen…
Almond Butter
After getting the amazing Magimix food processor for Christmas, I’ve started making nut butters again – a lot! I used to make them in the Vitamix but find it so much easier in a strong food processor. My cashew butter from last week was such a winner that it got polished off within a few…
Herby Avocado Salad
I’m calling this herby avocado salad instead of herby guacamole, because guacamole is Mexican, and usually uses peppers and / or chillies and this is more of an Israeli inspired salad. Israelis call everything ‘salad’, so even tuna mayonnaise is ‘salad of tuna’ (literally translated!) but we can call this avocado dip if that’s easier?!…
3-Ingredient Blackberry Chia Jam
Yes yes, I’m that mum that makes jam, the mum that people take the mick out of; ‘Oh I’m not going to sit at home and make my own jam.’ Well I’m proud of the fact that everything my family eats is made by us. And what beats homemade breads and jams? I certainly don’t…
Beetroot Hummus
Being half Israeli, hummus is one of my favourite foods and a staple food in my house. With so many gorgeous beetroots around at the moment, this is a great way to get the beetroot into you and your kids in a fun, colourful and yummy way! Beetroots are so good for us for many…
Gluten Free Seed Crackers (Suitable For Kids)
A friend of mine shared this recipe after I ate these at her house. The reason they’re so great for children is that they’re a little bit soft on the inside which makes them less of a choking hazaard. Crackers that are too hard are not so great for babies – Braxton always gets bits…
Vanilla Cashew Butter
I have the biggest backlog of recipes waiting to go on the blog but this turned out so unbelievably amazing that I had to share it with you! I’m a nut butter fanatic at the best of times but this has now trumped peanut and almond butter. It is so creamy and sweet and wow…
Multi-Seed Gluten-Free Crackers
I have to thank Lisa Roukin from My Relationship with Food for this recipe. I saw it on her website and just had to make them! I’ve adapted it from hers slightly. I’m eating six small meals a day now instead of three larger ones so healthy crackers are the best choice for at least…
Lauren’s Favourite Avocado Salad
Avocados are one of my favourite foods. They’re so rich in fibre and mono-unsaturated fatty acids that keep the heart healthy and you can do so much with them… I have them on their own, cut in half with a little bit of balsamic vinegar and scoop it out with a spoon, or spread on…
