Quick Hummus Recipe
Do you know that it takes only 5 minutes to prepare a healthy hummus with a tin of chickpeas? Of course, if you use dry chickpeas soaked overnight and boiled, the result will be nicer.. but for those moments where you need something last minute, this recipe will save you! All the ingredients (excluded the lemon and fresh coriander) can be stored in your pantry so buying a few tins of chickpeas and a jar of tahini in advance can be very handy.

Black Rice with Butternut Squash
In many countries, the UK included, rice is a common ingredient used on a daily basis. Most of the recipes include a bowl of white rice, but rice is not just white!

Black rice has less starch than normal rice and therefore is not ideal for the preparation of a creamy risotto but it can be used to prepare delicious and unique mains or salads. If you don’t know how to cook black rice or which recipes to prepare with…

Have you ever tried hemp seeds? Hemp seeds are exceptionally nutritious and rich in healthy fats, protein and various minerals. When I first tried them they reminded me of pine nuts and from here came the inspiration to prepare a delicious Hemp Seeds Pesto!

Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips Banana Bread
Banana bread is the perfect cake for those days when you have spare brown bananas and you don’t know how to get rid of them. The past week has been quite busy and I forgot to eat the few bananas that I bought last Sunday. This morning when I was sorting the kitchen I saw 2 ripe bananas and decided to prepare this Chocolaty Banana Bread. The recipe is dairy-free so perfect for those of you that don’t consume any dairy. I did use eggs but if you follow a vegan diet don’t worry. Simply substitute the eggs with “flegg”, i.e. egg replacer made from flax meal and water.
