Here’s a Brussels sprout kale salad bursting with flavor! All I can say is this combination of “love-em-or-hate-em Brussels sprouts” and “nothing-says-healthy-quite-like-kale” is a game changer. There’s so much to love about this salad: Italian dry-cured prosciutto di Parma, chopped roasted hazelnuts, intensely flavored Parmigiano-Reggiano, a lemony, grainy Dijon and shallot vinaigrette, ribbons of kale and Brussels sprouts shaved into delicate, adorable little shreddings. The result is a salad with...

Cauliflower steaks make an impressive side dish — one that is highly versatile. Cauliflower is simply cut into “steaks”, brushed with olive oil and seasoned salt and pepper. And in this recipe a little cumin as well. Then the “steaks” are grilled and topped with a middle-eastern inspired tahini sauce and salsa made with fresh herbs, capers, pomegranate and almonds.

Lemon poppy seeds cookies. Deliciously crumbly, perfectly lemony and speckled with poppy seeds inside and out. Made with ground almonds and spelt flour, these buttery shortbread cookies have just the right amount of sweetness, without being too sweet. And the best thing about them is that they are incredibly easy to make AND everyone loves them (even if my favourite Schwabe thinks they look like sliced aubergine)! Easy, no-stress poppyseed...

A Vegan Shepherd's Pie with a crispy potato topping is my favourite way to prepare a plant-based version of classic Shepherd’s Pie (Cottage Pie). This vegan take on the popular classic casserole is made with lentils and savory vegetables, and topped with potatoes, then baked to perfection. What is Shepherd's Pie (Cottage Pie)? Shepherd's Pie comes to us from Britain and Ireland, and is traditionally made with lamb or mutton. And...
