Cooking with kindness
These recipes have been developed to inspire you. They present foods combined in simple, interesting and tasty ways that will assist as you transform your relationship with food; its selection, preparation and eating.
Many of the recipes are plant based. They illustrate numerous ways to incorporate nuts, seeds, beans, various grains, fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices to create dishes you can incorporate into your regular eating pattern.
It is a continually developing resource that illustrates ways to live with ‘food without rules’ at any meal.
These recipes are adaptations of old family favourites, recipes collected in my travels, and dishes I have recreated after memorable restaurants meals and ‘street snacks’. They reflect my culinary journey. My wish is that you use them as a stepping stone to creating your own dishes you enjoy.
My Recipes:
– are delicious, healthy, tried and tested;
– use fresh, seasonal ingredients where possible;
– are based on widely available ingredients;
– utilise cooking styles from around the world;
– employ simple preparation and cooking techniques; and
– excite the senses through the use of herbs and spices, rather than fats, salts or sugars.

Mushroom Soup

It makes an accompaniment to a meal or can be a complete meal when you add some protein: legumes e.g. cooked cannelloni beans or tofu; extra cheese and nuts and finally a green salad.

I came upon this recipe through the Australian chef, Jill Dupleix. It appealed to me because the beetroot is without vinegar, enabling the sweetness of this earthy vegetable to contrast with the salty feta.
