Zesty Burnt Aubergine Dip

January 18, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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…

Herby Avocado Salad

October 20, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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?!…

Gluten Free Seed & Superfood Bread

July 8, 2016 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

I can’t take credit for this recipe, my friend Lana in New Zealand sent me the recipe by My New Roots and the original recipe is theirs although I have adapted it quite a bit. This bread is gluten free, dairy free, refined-sugar free and full of nutritious superfoods and it contains all the fibre,…

White Chocolate and Flaxseed Blondies

February 3, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I love an afternoon snack with a matcha latte, and especially as I’m breastfeeding, I need extra energy but I have to make the effort to eat healthy snacks with great nutrients in them so I added flaxseeds to this one for omega 3 essential fatty acids – essential when breastfeeding. These went down a…
