It took me a while to get on board the vegan parmesan train, but I soon realised it’s a great way to first add flavour to a dish, and to also add extra nutrition. Plus it is super easy to make and really versatile too, you could use whatever nuts...
As we descend into winter, soups are a thing to behold, the perfect meal in one pot. There are so many good options to choose from too, thick stews, lighter broths like this one, a curry style soup, a spiced pumpkin and carrot, the list is endless..my go-to is this...
Autumn is in full swing here in North East Victoria, Australia, deep in the Warburton valley. White cockatoos screech, tree ferns are giant and the Yarra River or Birrarung meanders through our daily doings, ever present, filled with life, the sunshine glistening on the water as it trickles over rocks...
