Baked cannellini beans with roasted vegetables
FINALLY – something that can officially go in my “nice” category. This past weekend, I got to go back to Sydney for the first time since my Manila relocation, which means it’s been a solid 3 months since I have been able to cook and bake in my kitchen. As you may expect, I went … Continue reading
Fantastic food in Siem Reap
Going to Siem Reap in Cambodia was without a doubt one of the best trips (and certainly the most meaningful on a grander scale) I have taken since re-locating to Manila. The country is stunning, the people are incredible and truly moving, and the temples are awe-inspiring, but I expected all this. What I did … Continue reading
Healthy guacamole and roasted vegetable salad
Recently, I actually had to go to the U.S. for a period of 24 hours for a business meeting. This meant that in 60 consecutive hours starting on Thursday night, I was on a plane for 35 of them, and I slept in an actual bed on a Wednesday night and then the next time … Continue reading

This is a dish I’ve probably made about once a month for the past year or two, simply because you can … Continue reading
Quinoa with roasted vegetables
Behold, another fantastic detox vegetarian recipe. Post on all the food exploration to come soon as well of course. But first, I must talk about quinoa, one of my favourite things in the world. If you have not had this superfood then you really are missing out. It’s not too hard to find (although … Continue reading
Roasted brussel sprouts
All people that have hatred of brussel sprouts MUST read this post. I realise it is quite the polarising vegetable. People who don’t like it probably haven’t had spectacular roasted or caramelised brussel sprouts with pancetta/bacon/meat at a tapas or small-plates restaurant (a la Estragon in Boston’s South End or Cumulus in Melbourne) or … Continue reading
Stuffed zucchini and roasted veggies
Back when I lived in Boston and rarely got home before 9 pm on a typical workday, I would make four or five dishes over the weekend to eat for lunch and dinner throughout the week. Free dinners on the company get old after a while and are never the healthiest choice, so I would … Continue reading
