Sweet Chilli Sauce – Paleo
Sweet Chilli Sauce is a staple in many Australian homes. I’ve always really enjoyed it too, whether it’s just to jazz up some plain steamed veggies; stirred through some cashew cream cheese to make a ‘sweet chilli philli’ style dip; in a simple stir fry (easiest ever = tamari + sweet chilli sauce + water); or to make a vietnamese-style dressing … Read More

Teff Falafels
These teff falafels are tasty, versatile and one of my favourite things to have on hand for a flavour-and-nutrient-packed lunch. They’re also a great plant-based way to add protein to a meal.
