Lemon & Ginger Tofu Stir Fry
Cooking up a stir fry is one of my favourite go-to fast and healthy recipes for dinner. I’m obsessed with noodles (gluten-free, obviously!) – in soups, in stir fries – and love that they soak up and sit nicely surrounded by other flavours, textures and ingredients. This recipe combines plenty of veggies, rice noodles and […]

Zesty Salmon Buddha Bowl
Although I’m not the biggest fish eater, I enjoy eating salmon occasionally – it has to be a chunky, juicy fillet served with plenty of flavour and different elements to the dish. That’s why I was excited to partner up with The Saucy Fish Co. to feature their hero product, Salmon with Chilli, Lime and […]

While many pesto sauces contain Parmesan […]
