  • Vietnamese Lemongrass Pork Vermicelli Bowl

    This is bún thịt nướng territory: thin rice vermicelli, chargrilled lemongrass pork, a tangle of fresh herbs and pickled veg, and a bright fish sauce dressing pooled at the bottom. Every bowl is a little different depending on what you pile on, which is half the fun. The pork marinates while you prep everything else, so the whole thing comes together faster than you'd expect. No cow dairy, no soy, no sesame oil, just clean, punchy Southeast Asian flavour.

  • Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Bowl with Garlic Aioli

    This is a bowl that earns its place on the table. Quinoa sits at the base, fluffy and nutty, topped with caramelised roasted vegetables that have gone properly golden and tender in the oven. A dollop of garlic aioli on top is the real pull: thick and punchy, it ties the whole thing together. The flavour leans Mediterranean with a quiet Asian influence, fresh herbs, a hit of lemon, and a drizzle of good olive oil to finish. It photographs beautifully, packs well, and actually keeps you full.

  • Dalmatian Peka-Style Roasted Chicken with Potatoes

    A stunning Croatian coastal classic — tender, golden chicken thighs and crispy-edged potatoes slow-roasted under a bell (or foil dome) with fragrant herbs, white wine, and garlic. Traditionally cooked under a peka bell buried in embers, this home oven version delivers all the magic: impossibly juicy meat, herb-scented potatoes, and caramelized pan juices you'll want to drink straight from the dish. Dairy-free, soy-free, and deeply, deeply satisfying.

  • Quinoa & Charred Vegetable Salad with Tahini-Lemon Dressing

    Nutty, fluffy quinoa meets a smoky medley of grill-charred vegetables — blistered corn, jammy cherry tomatoes, sweet red pepper, and caramelised zucchini — all tossed in a bold, creamy tahini-lemon dressing with a gentle chilli kick. It's the kind of salad that absolutely does not feel like a salad. Big flavours, gorgeous colours, and completely allergy-friendly for this cook.

  • Saffron Chicken Paella with Charred Tomatoes & Crispy Garlic

    A showstopping, golden-hued paella packed with tender saffron-kissed chicken breast, smoky charred tomatoes, and shatteringly crispy garlic chips — all built around that legendary socarrat crust on the bottom. No seafood, no cow dairy, no fuss. This is the kind of dish that makes your kitchen smell like a Spanish courtyard and your camera roll look like a food magazine.

  • Crispy Rice Paper Dumplings with Ginger-Chili Oil

    These dumplings are unlike any folded wrapper you've made before. Rice paper, softened for a few seconds in warm water, wraps around a punchy pork-and-vegetable filling, then gets pan-fried in a cast-iron skillet until the outside turns shatteringly crisp, almost lacquer-like, with a chewy, tender center underneath. The ginger-chili oil comes together in minutes: fresh ginger and sliced chilies bloom in hot neutral oil, picking up heat and fragrance, then coconut aminos and a splash of rice vinegar round it out into something bright and fiery. It's a dish that looks dramatic on the plate and tastes even better than it looks. Make extra oil. You will want it on everything.

  • Sweet Potato and Black Bean Breakfast Tacos

    Roasted sweet potato cubes and seasoned black beans come together in warm corn tortillas for a filling morning meal. The sweet potato gets a little caramelized at the edges, the beans pick up cumin and a hint of heat, and everything gets topped with creamy avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Bright, hearty, and completely plant-based.

  • Vietnamese-Style Rice Paper Egg Crepes with Pork and Herbs

    These crepes sit right at the intersection of bánh cuốn and bánh tráng nướng, two of Vietnam's most satisfying street foods. A thin egg layer gets cooked directly onto a softened rice paper sheet, then topped with seasoned ground pork, fresh herbs, crunchy bean sprouts, and a bright dipping sauce. The result is crisp at the edges, tender in the middle, and loaded with fresh flavour. No dairy, no soy, no fuss.

  • Crispy Scallion Pancakes with Ginger-Chili Dipping Sauce

    Scallion pancakes are one of those things that look intimidating but are really just flour, water, oil, and a good laminating technique. The flaky, layered interior comes from rolling the dough into a cylinder and coiling it up before flattening, that spiral traps thin layers of oil and scallion, so when it hits the hot pan you get crispy, blistered edges and a chewy, pull-apart middle. The dipping sauce is punchy and bright, leaning on rice vinegar and fresh ginger for its backbone. No soy, no sesame, no dairy, just good, straightforward technique and bold flavor.

  • Savory Oat Porridge with Mushrooms and Spinach

    Steel-cut oats simmered in vegetable broth turn creamy and savory, the perfect base for earthy sautéed mushrooms and tender wilted spinach. A drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of nutritional yeast bring it all together with warmth and depth. This is comfort food that feels wholesome and bright, a bowl that works just as well for breakfast as it does for a light dinner.

  • Herb-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans

    Tender pork tenderloin coated in rosemary, thyme, and garlic, roasted until the edges turn deep brown and caramelized. Sliced thin and served alongside creamy mashed potatoes made with olive oil and broth, plus sautéed green beans that still have some snap. A classic, comforting plate that skips all top-9 allergens without skipping any flavor.

  • Baked Cod with Lemon and Thyme, Sautéed Spinach, and Brown Rice

    Flaky cod bakes with lemon slices and fresh thyme while brown rice simmers on the stove. Fresh spinach wilts in garlic-kissed oil, and everything comes together in a bright, herb-scented plate that feels clean and satisfying. The fish stays tender, the rice picks up all those citrus notes, and you get a proper meal without any fuss.
