There’s no doubt about it – veganism is definitely on its way to becoming mainstream. With far more than just a handful of celebrities publicly backing plant-based diets, governments urging countries to cut down on meat consumption and trend data showing an spike in interest for vegan products, we can safely say that veganism is not just for…
Classic Matcha Green Smoothie
Matcha is one of those ubiquitous food-blogger type fad ingredients that has long graced our web browsers and Instagram feeds in the form of popsicles, pancakes, cheesecakes and blended almond-milk lattes. That said, I will happily admit to being late to the game on this one, but in my defense I have a couple of formidable reasons…
Vegan Moroccan Harira Soup
Alright guys, I’m not going to lie. I’m kind of over Ramadan this year. Before you go judging me, hear me out.

I mean, it consists of yellow flakes that vaguely resemble fish food and there are not many ways in which one can think to…
Restaurant review: OVO, Kuwait
If you follow me on Snapchat, you’ll know that as of late I’ve been travelling a fair bit for work. While these trips have been exclusively day journeys to the not-so-far-away Kuwait, the mere prospect of a business trip still excited me. My passion for travel knows no bounds. That said, despite the fact that my travel…
Easy Vegan Socca (Chickpea Flatbread)
Socca, chickpea flatbread, savoury gluten-free chickpea pancake – call it whatever you want. I call it unmistakably delicious. Longtime readers of this blog will know and recognise socca as one of my all-time favourite things to make. It’s a staple that’s been part of my cooking repertoire for just about as long as I have…
