I think I can say, unequivocally, that there is no more refreshing drink than limonana – Israeli mint lemonade. It starts off with the delicious refreshingness of homemade lemonade, then kicks it up a notch by adding fresh mint, for a doubly cooling, extra thirst-quenching glassful of rejuvenation.

There are so many reasons why I LOVE this strawberry cucumber spinach salad! Mostly, it’s because it tastes like summer in a bowl and is all the things I really want to eat RIGHT NOW, but also, look at it – those colours are just gorgeous! I love how such …
It’s been a while since I took a look at what’s new and kosher, and there are some great products that are perfect now that summer is here and the weather is looking better – for now at least! Here are some of my favourites, PLUS read on to see …
A while ago (when I made my amazing vegan 3-ingredient chocolate tart) I mused about the items available in supermarket kosher sections, and whether they were really any indication of the essentials for living a kosher lifestyle.

A huge and heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in the first ever One Potato Two Potato linky for vegetarian potato and sweet potato recipes. The entries all look absolutely delicious and really show off the versatility of potatoes and sweet potatoes, as we have everything from main dishes, …
Do you find Pesach stressful at all? I don’t think I’m the only one… First there’s the extreme cleaning, then comes the cooking marathon, then there’s the constant nagging worry about what we’re going to eat for our next meal since all the usual standby options are off the menu… Aargh! …
Have you made ‘machos’ yet? These crunchy matza nachos seem to be having a moment and it’s easy to see why – they’re super-easy and incredibly moreish. A brilliant way to make matza into something a bit special. I had the idea to make sweet machos after reading this post …
