Searching for the perfect meat alternative that doesn’t sacrifice any texture? Look no further than Jackfruit, a spiny tropical fruit which can easily resemble the texture of a pulled beef or pork with just a small amount of work. I love the versatility of seasoning the jackfruit with Mexican flavours, as the meat alternative can then be used in bowls, tacos, burritos, nachos, or stuffed peppers!
Read MoreA spicy take on a classic comfort food. I made the mistake of adding three spicy Thai Chili’s to my first batch, and it was much too hot for me to consume. On the second try I scaled it back to one pepper, and it had the perfect amount of kick. You can also omit the pepper altogether if you are just looking for a savoury and herby flavour.
Read MoreThere’s nothing like a warm curry dish on a cold winter’s day. I especially love using salmon as a healthy protein, the flakey texture pairs perfectly with the fluffy rice and creamy coconut flavoured curry sauce. Topping the dish with crushed peanuts and green onions adds some crunchy and fresh contrast to the dish.
Read MoreDecadence meets classic in this rich take on grilled pork chops. A sweet and spicy rub on these chops, along with a hint of charcoaled coffee creates complex and exciting flavour on a well worn favourite. Paired with another twist - fried rice with caramelized butternut squash in a brown sugar cayenne glaze. Finally the whole meal is topped with a gooey berry sauce packed with sweet heat to tie everything together. A great recipe if you want to impress your family, partner, friends, or first date.
Read MoreThe perfect hints of sweet and spicy, this plant based and dairy-free soup doesn’t disappoint. The hearty lentils keep you full and the robust mix of flavours keeps you coming back for more.
Read MoreOne of my all-time fave salads! The crunchy cabbage base allows you to prep the salad on the weekend and it will keep all week for lunches. The goat cheese adds some creamy decadence, to a spicy, citrusy, crunchy and seriously satisfying salad.
Read MoreSweet and spicy! This chili cook-off winning recipe came to me in a fever dream vision in the middle of the night - what could I do to make this chili stand out? Maple, peach, and bourbon was the combination I came to. I had no idea if it would work or taste good (spoiler alert - it worked and tasted amazing!). So if you’re tired of the same old chili flavour, spice up your life and try something a little more daring.
Read MoreOk this Korean Gochujang sauce is amazing. This is easily one of the best things I’ve made - and although it requires some multitasking it’s definitely worth it. Pork sizzling in spicy Korean chili sauce, paired with perfectly cooked veggies in sesame sauce, all on top of cauliflower rice (low carb hurrah!)- what’s not to love?
