5-Colour Spring Rolls

5-Colour Spring Rolls

One thing that I’ll never, ever get tired of is Spring Rolls. Mummy used to make them occasionally either as a mid-day snack, or as a hefty side for our dinners. She would stuff these huge rolls with meat and veggies until they’d burst at…

Potato Salad with Water Apple (Jambu Air)

Potato Salad with Water Apple (Jambu Air)

If you go to a local market in Malaysia, the tropical fruits are there as much as the omnipresent apples and oranges. No offense to apples and oranges, they’re fantastic and we grow up on them. But we grow up singing ‘A is for Apple’…

10-Minute Homemade Baked Beans

I know what you’re thinking. Why go through all the trouble of making baked beans when you can get it straight out of a can? Because… It’s straight out of a can. In the process of becoming more plant-based and cooking at least half of…

‘Neatballs’ with Spinach Coriander Sauce

‘Neatballs’ with Spinach Coriander Sauce

Meatballs remind me of sickness – not in a bad way! Whenever any of the siblings got ill, Mummy would be in the kitchen rolling up balls of minced pork, which she would serve with rice porridge. While developing this recipe, rolling the balls, I…

Simple Energy Bars

Simple Energy Bars

One of the first things I used the oven for as a plant-based eater was energy bars. A lot better to make your own in my opinion, as a lot of the bars you find in grocery stores are ridiculously sweet, are gone in two…

Double Chocolate Pecan Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Double Chocolate Pecan Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Chocolate. Pecan. Cookies. Need I say more? I will anyway. I was SO excited about creating this recipe, as I’m not the most adept at making things gluten-free. When this came out of the oven the first time, and I put those warm nuggets into…
