Broccoli Hummus with Spicy Sausage
OMG even if you’re not a sausage fan – spicy or otherwise, you have to try this broccoli ‘hummus’. While it’s completely nontraditional, it is soo soo delicious. Use it anywhere you’d normally serve hummus.
‘Secret' Winter Greens
I know you're thinking 'so what's the secret Jules?'. And I'm glad you asked, although I need you to promise this is just between you and me ;)
**Flavour Explosion** Caesar Sauce
Are you a fan of big flavours?
A BIG Pot of Beans
It's not often that I bother to cook up a big pot of beans. But every time I do, I'm glad I went to the extra effort. Home cooked beans always have a much nicer flavour and texture than canned beans.
Addictive Artichoke Aioli
Calling all sauce lovers! You *have* to plan a time to make this artichoke aioli sauce. Like yesterday.
Almond ‘Hummus’
One thing I really miss since going low carb is traditional chickpea based hummus.
Almond Burger Buns
These burger buns are the real deal. They’re now my go-to whenever I’m in the mood for a low carb sandwich or, of course, a burger! Don’t be tempted to try them without the psyllium – it’s really the critical ingredient for getting the light soft, burger bun texture (it also adds lots of fiber!)
Amazing Avo Sauce
You know when you have an avocado that needs eating up but you aren’t going to get to it?
Aussie Burger Bowls
One of my new favourite convenient ingredients is vacuum packed cooked beets. I can’t tell you how much I love them.
Avo ‘Hummus’
Some of my best cooking ideas come from either needing to use a particular ingredient OR me having a craving for something. And this Avo ‘Hummus’ recipe was a combo of the two.
Avocado Butter
What could be better than avocado smashed on toast?
Beautiful Beet ‘Pesto’
I’ve been making beetroot ‘pesto’ for years. A brilliant idea where you use cooked beetroot instead of basil that I picked up years ago. While I don’t mind tinned beetroot, I do prefer the fresh earthiness enough to roast it myself, which would blow the 10 minute limit.
Beautiful Boiled Broccoli
This was another one of those ideas I resisted for a long time because of less-than-favourable childhood memories.
Bistro Pâté
Pâté is one of those dishes that seems quite exotic and costly but is in fact super easy and inexpensive to make. Of course there’s no need to tell your guests that, it can be our little secret.
Boiled Eggs
Moon-Crater-Free Boiled Eggs
Brazil Nut ‘Parmesan’
I was going to call this ‘I can’t believe it’s not Parmesan’ but of course you won’t mistake this topping for freshly grated parmesan.
Broccoli Sandwich Bread
When I'm in the mood for a sandwich or a slice of toast, this is my go-to recipe, inspired by David and Luise at Green Kitchen Stories. I love how something that feels and tastes quite 'bready' is actually a serve of vegetables.
Cashew 'Nut Sauce'
This sauce is super versatile and can be used pretty much anywhere you'd use hummus. It's especially good with steamed green veg or with fish.
Cashew ‘Sour Cream’ (dairy-free)
With only 2 ingredients, this sauce is a life saver even if you don’t have any problems with dairy.
Cashew & Cauliflower Mash
Inspired by Tim Ferriss' Coconut Cauliflower Curry Mash from the 4-Hour Chef.
Cashew Yoghurt
When I had my vegan week recently, I played around with both coconut and cashew ‘yoghurts’. And while the coconut yoghurt was good, I much preferred the flavour of this cashew number.
Cauliflower ‘Pizza’ Bases
I was so exctied the first time I made this healthy take on 'pizza'. Even my Irishman, a devotee of the classic Napoli pizza style said it was delicious.
Cauliflower ‘Rice’
Rice can be a hassle to cook without it going ‘gluggy’. Finely grated raw veg only take a fraction of the time and end up lovely and fluffy every time. Plus it’s a really easy way to get more veg into your diet.
Chilli Salt
Now that I have small boys to feed and am cooking with chilli less, I've been turning more and more to ideas like this chilli salt or Marcos chilli oil so the adults can get their fire power at the table.
