Best ever potato salad (Greek style)

This is my all-time favourite potato salad. A far cry from the claggy, low-grade ones made with health-sabotaging refined oil. Amazingly, cold potatoes have very different health-giving...

Hummus (or houmous?)

There's nothing like home-made hummus for flavour. It's super-easy to do and if you like it, make a big batch and freeze some for the future. 1 mugful of cooked chickpeas (or haricot,...

SCD crumble topping for Christmas mince pies

Super simple roast cauliflower

Oct 3, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Sides, starters, soups & snacks

I love this and I've made it so many times now I don't need a recipe. Make it as cauliflower "steaks" or florets (a bit faster). If you prefer an Indian vibe use a spice blend of 1 level tsp each...

Jan 24, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Main courses, Sides, starters, soups & snacks

This was a lovely curry my mother used to make from time to time. If you are making this a vegan dinner, its a great idea to bump up protein by serving with cooked quinoa and maybe adding some...
