Vegan No-Fry Chickpea & Sweetcorn Fritters

September 13, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

And so the battle to come up with new and exciting things for Braxton to eat every day continues… Well, not just for Brax but for us too, because he pretty much eats what we eat now (depending on what mood he’s in, and food is always a volatile subject when it comes to him!)….

Mixed Roasted Beets

Excuse the quality of this picture. I made these at night so it was quite dark but they still look delicious – and they tasted delicious! This is such a simple side dish to make and so nutritious. Beetroot are great antioxidants and help detox the liver and the blood, they are also high in…

Carrot & Coriander Soup

September 2, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Autumn is now upon us in London, and I’m feeling the drop in temperature instantly. I tend to make heaps of soups during the winter months. They are great for lunch as they fill you up but are super nutritious also, if you use the right ingredients. Carrots are a great source of fibre and…

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….

Pan-fried Kingklip with Exotic Mushrooms, Spinach and Canihua

February 23, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

As I don’t eat meat often, I try to eat fish once a week. Whether you eat meat or are vegan or vegetarian, it’s very important to be aware of your protein intake, especially if you train regularly. While it’s perfectly possible to get enough protein on a vegan diet, you have to be much…

Cauliflower & Tahini Soup

February 1, 2015 by theorganicspoon 3 Comments

I love cauliflower, especially as a purée, because of the beautiful smooth texture it blends into. This soup makes use of that, and the addition of tahini makes it even creamier! Cauliflower contains sulforaphane, which has been shown to kill cancer stem cells, thereby slowing tumor growth. Researchers believe that eliminating cancer stem cells may…
