While I am very much a fan of incorporating home-cooked meals while travelling, cooking in a foreign kitchen is not without its difficulties, as I found out during my 3-week visit to London last October. Allow me to elaborate with some vital lessons learned: Never underestimate the power of a spice rack. Even the most basic…
Vegan London Guide 2016
For the first time in a long time, it has been quite a while since I’ve last posted, and for that, I must apologise. If you follow me on social media you may know that I spent the last few weeks in London on an impromptu work trip. While it wasn’t exactly a vacation, I was lucky enough…
Vegan Berlin Guide 2016
I must admit that despite being pretty excited to visit what is arguably the most vegan-friendly city in Europe, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. As far as travel goes, continental Europe is about as far out of my comfort zone as it gets and given recent world events, I boarded the plane from Istanbul to…
Kale and Cousa Sauté
I may have mentioned this before, but growing up, I was all about the veggies. Yes, I admittedly had a healthy appetite for meat and chicken too – but when it came time for the inevitable second helpings (portion control? what?), vegetables were always my go-to. Popular mainstays were cauliflower, potatoes and carrots, stewed bamia (okra), fasolia (green beans) or…
Vegan Istanbul Guide 2016
Let me start by saying that despite having visited but a handful of times, Istanbul is one of my favourite cities in the world. There’s just something about it that I can’t quite put in words. More than just the crisp air, or sweeping views and rich hues of the Bosphorous that my eyes seem to crave,…
Easy Vegan Walnut Pesto
Firstly, allow me to apologise for my brief hiatus. If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat you’ll know that I was busy eating my way through Istanbul, Berlin and Prague, but alas I have returned. A full vegan travel recap is of course forthcoming, so stay tuned! In any case, on to the recipe du…
Creating a Capsule Wardrobe
A quick thank you to all the wonderful ladies who shared their thoughts on last week’s controversial post, it wasn’t easy to put out there, but in retrospect, I’m very glad that I did. Moving away from feminine hygiene, but in the same vein of pursuing a more sustainable lifestyle, what I will share with you…
Green Tea Soba and Edamame Noodle Salad
Am I late to the soba noodle party? Quite possibly, but I’m hoping you’ll forgive my tardiness. Soba noodles (which are Japanese-style noodles made from buckwheat, FYI) are just one of those ingredients I’ve always been far too intimidated by to pick up at the supermarket. They sounded delicious in theory, but when faced with the decision of soba…
