Salted Caramel
I like to sweeten desserts with dates, as a replacement to refined sugars. Yes, dates are high in natural sugars, but unlike refined sugars, dates are also rich in dietary fibre. As with everything, I think they’re fine enjoyed in moderation. I’m sure you’ll find many uses for this luscious caramel. I use it in […]

French Onion Cob Dip
Here I’ve combined two of my all-time favourite dips: French onion, and spinach and artichoke — totally inspired by the classic old ’70s and ’80s cob dip, a ubiquitous staple at every Aussie barbecue and party. I’ve been there many a time. I’m completely guilty of throwing together a dip with a few tubs of […]
Better Chocolate Brownies
Not only are these some of the healthiest brownies around, they’re also delicious, with the cooked beetroot giving them a jelly-like texture. Compared to your standard brownies, these have only 65 per cent of the calories, 40 per cent of the cholesterol, less than a third of the carbs, more than double the fibre and […]

Vegan Mayo
The first time I made this vegan mayo was also the first time I had ever used aquafaba, or ‘bean water’, as an egg substitute. This mayo may be vegan, but it’s also absolutely delicious — in fact my family have come to prefer it over standard mayonnaise. It keeps well and is great to […]
Top Cobb Salad
Candied smoky walnuts step in as an admirable replacement for the bacon element in this salad. They’re such tasty little treasures that down to the very last mouthful, you’ll be asking, ‘What bacon — who needs bacon?’ For extra texture and a bit of bite, add some thinly sliced radishes to the salad. Ingredients 2 […]
Steak Sandwich
Believe it or not, I gave one of these sandwiches to a meat-eating friend and he didn’t even realise there was no meat in it — let alone that it was vegan! The thyme in the caramelised onions, the chunky tomato ketchup and the tangy mayo all contribute ‘meaty’ associations when tucking into this meat-free […]

Corn fritters
Makes 15 Stodgy corn fritters are the worst, so it took a few attempts to get these just right. The best bit? The wonderful texture of the fritters is down to the fact that each one is loaded with veg. You can enjoy these any time of day. Ingredients 500 g sweet potatoes, peeled 500 […]
Chunky Tomato Ketchup
A major difference between this and your everyday ketchup is that the commercial version has ten times as much sugar! This is my happy medium between a tomato relish, and a tomato sauce or ketchup. It’s super easy to prepare and tastes remarkably like tomato ketchup, though in consistency it’s more like a chutney or […]
Orange and poppyseed cake

Veg and Chicken Pie
Serves 4 There is no denying that a flaky and buttery traditional chicken and vegetable pie is my idea of comfort food, but this pie really ticks all of the boxes. Chicken and vegetables in a warming gravy, topped with a much healthier alternative to puff pastry and still wonderfully crisp! It’s a nice way […]
