Vegan, raw and ever so colourful.
Falafels are a weekly staple in our house, so we are always hunting for new flavours to add to this ancient and delicious savoury meal. This one incorporates cauliflower for extra texture.
Egg free, dairy free - we can't wait to try this recipe out with the fabulous Aquafaba as a base ingredient. Is there anything this wonder food can't do???
Who can ever resist a dim sum? Perfect finger food as a party starter, or as a light meal with soup, they are a bit fiddly to make, but many hands make light work as they say - and if you can talk somebody else into helping you make them it becomes a fun event.
Organic tofu is ALWAYS a regular in our fridge - the silken variety gets twirled into mouse and mayonnaise, the medium kind gets tossed into curry and the pressed type is perfect for these sort of marinaded stir fry bowls. Yum!
This week we are loving all the colourful early season fruits and veggies which are appearing in the markets - asparagus, raspberries, mango and broad beans. It's an exciting time as the weather warms up, and our own garden has suddenly burst into life with lots of scented roses and herbs.
We are sprinkling rose petals and fresh chopped mint onto salads, fruit platters and porridge. Yum!
As the "mother" half of the Future King & Queen mother-daughter duo, Virginia is a Melbourne based designer who firmly believes that living kindly is a series of daily choices that we can each make in order to touch the earth more lightly. At the age of 11, she wrote a passionate English essay about the practice of animal testing in the cosmetics industry, as part of a school assignment - and as an adult, has strived to encourage her 3 children to become compassionate, thinking young adults who care for both others around them and the world in which they live.
Virginia has been vegan for more than 2 years, after attending a talk by Phillip Wollen (OAM) when all the lightbulbs suddenly went on! Here was a way to live that touched the earth more lightly, didn't involve harm to animals, and opened the door to a much more healthy lifestyle.
