By now you probably know the tale of Philip, his five siblings and them growing up in a house filled with dietary allergies. Whether fish, shellfish, dairy, nuts and gluten, their parents Peter and Patricia always tried their hardest to serve all six children the same dish no matter the allergy. A regular in most households, peanut butter and jam was one of the more deathly cases – gluten and peanuts were high on the list – and a more popular solve was always tahini and jam on rice bread. Inspired by the clever substitutions of Philip’s childhood, our Tahini...

Creamy, rich and charred to perfection, our Plant Based Curry Cauliflower Soup is the ultimate reset dish with its smooth texture and flavour.

Exactly what its name suggests, plant based recipes focus on whole, plant foods such as fruits, veggies, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds, and removing animal products including meat, fish, eggs, dairy, gelatin and other animal byproducts.
