Here is another meal I have created for my current ‘grub on the go’ lifestyle. I made a whack of it for lunch today and still have lots more. You could substitute the tofu with prawns, shredded chicken, pork or beef plus maybe a little fresh diced mango…..
Soba Noodle Salad

All of my recent gardening efforts have left me with a larger appetite and less time for food preparation. I’ve taken to making large batches of food to provide me with quick, tasty and healthy meals so that I can fuel up fast, save the rest in the fridge for later and get back to [...]
Starting today, I’m going to be writing a post the 3rd Tuesday of every month which will focus on a tasty, healthy and inexpensive meal and also a breakdown of the cost per person. I feel that it is a good habit to be aware of how much we are spending to feed ourselves and [...]
It is extremely rare that I prepare a recipe to the letter. Usually it serves more as an inspiration, a starting point. But two days ago I made an exception. This recipe is simply perfect as is. The only modifications I made were to (1)- double the cauliflower quantity and (2)- omit the jalapeno, [...]
With our summer coming so late this year, local produce has, in turn, been a slow grow.

I love a big salad for dinner; one chock-full of tasty morsels such as toasted nuts, cheese and lots of colourful vegetables. Sometimes more is more. Add some nice [...]
My fabulous roommate, Michel has an equally fabulous barbeque. When he first brought home his shiny new Weber (Spirit E-210), buzzing with excitement, I really couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. I figured it must be a guy thing. Then one balmy summer evening, I took it for a spin. SO satisfying to [...]
I’m really really loving edamame these days; as much for the colour as the flavour, texture and nutritional value. This salad is my latest ingredient inspired creation. I think it would be fantastic served with grilled chicken or sausage, though it also stands alone beautifully….great picnic food.
Edamame Salad (with toasted hazelnuts)

Diane & Jamie’s Zucchini Ribbon Salad
I hope that ‘Jules’ woman knows how good she’s got it. As far as I’m concerned, that adorable man/boy of hers can do no wrong. When Jamie Oliver is not busy overhauling the British public school lunch program or driving around Italy in his VW van to cook with [...]
