Thursday Night Pasta

January 30, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

It’s tradition in most Jewish households to have a big family dinner on a Friday night. It’s kind of like our version of a Sunday roast! It’s wonderful; we get together with all the family and have amazing food. But of course it means preparation which usually begins on Thursday night – at least that’s…

Best, Easiest Vegan Chilli (and tips on staying nourished through the winter)

January 16, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

It’s raining. It’s grey. It’s January in London. At this time of year it’s so important to look after ourselves, physically and emotionally, because the shorter days and colder climate really do alter our physical wellbeing and emotional state. There is a reason that some animals hibernate during these months – protecting themselves from the…

Fry’s Family Gluten Free Vegan Burgers

July 17, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Of course I didn’t make these vegan burgers myself, they are by the amazing Fry’s Family vegan foods. They are non-GMO and the only ‘oven food’ we’ll use in our house. It’s really great if you do need an easy dinner, without having to opt for rubbish fish fingers. I made the slaw and the…

Sweet Potato Coconut Lemongrass Curry

July 9, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

This sweet potato coconut curry with lemongrass is so easy to make and one of the easiest way to get a heap of nutrients into us. When eating a plant-based diet, it’s so important to get enough protein and bioavailable calcium from vegetables and pulses. I actually didn’t use any pulses in this one but…

Sweet Potato & Spinach Slow Cooker Curry

January 6, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Mid-week meals are all about ease and convenience, without it being convenience food as such. Everything we have at home is fresh and cooked from scratch but that doesn’t mean it needs to take hours to cook; with a slow-cooker you just shove it all in and come back to it when you want to…

Easy Chicken Rice Vegetable Dinner

September 17, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Easy, throw-it-together dinners that don’t take too long. We’re all looking for more of these aren’t we? Who has time mid-week to stand in the kitchen for hours making a gourmet meal? Certainly not us! I saw a TV chef making something similar once so I decided to put my own healthy stance on it…

Healthy yet easy to make dinner ideas – it’s a constant battle right?? We’re trying to add as many of our lunch and dinner recipes to the site as possible to help you all out with easy dinner ideas for the whole family. This one was a winner and I served it with a fresh…

Broccoli & Pea Buckwheat Pasta

June 16, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Easy dinners, easy dinners. It’s all about easy dinners that you can just throw together quickly. Usually the meals that are considered ‘easy’ or ‘convenient’ are not particularly healthy so I’m always trying to invent new ones to add to the website so I can go back to them when I am short of time….

Favourite Summer Salad

June 11, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

This is my ultimate go-to summer salad. It’s so easy and quick to make and works so well as a yummy, filling, nutritious meal to eat out in the garden on a warm evening. You can omit the halloumi if you are vegan, and you don’t have to stick to this recipe, you can add…

Pasta with Sweet Potato and Sage Sauce

February 16, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Raine and I seem to be so in sync with each other that even though we’re on other sides of the planet, we both made a variation of the same dinner tonight! So she has posted her Butternut & Sage Pasta and here is mine, made with sweet potatoes instead… People always ask me what…
