Saffron Spiced Porridge (Hot or Cold)

July 15, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

It’s funny, you can take some spices and make them work with any dish, sweet or savoury. Saffron and cardamom are two of those. I think because both Indian and Moroccan cooking use a lot of these spices in their savoury food, we become used to it. In terms of health benefits, saffron is a…

Vegan Buckwheat Pancakes

September 4, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Sunday mornings should really be all about pancakes, and my baby boy deserves the best! Such a great baby-led weaning food as it’s so easy for them to hold and feed themselves. This recipe uses only healthy, natural ingredients so it’s still full of nutrients, especially as I added a load of maca powder in…
