the gluten-free adventures of a compulsive feeder
This is a plant-based mash-up of butter coffee – instead of coffee, I’ve used matcha, and instead of dairy, I’ve used coconut butter. Oh, and I’ve served it cold. The result? Chilled, creamy, smooth, rich, green deliciousness….
Nothing cross about these Easter buns! Nope, they’re smiling on the inside, as they know there’s no gluten, dairy or eggs in this recipe….
Hands up if you love dosa! These Indian crepes/pancakes are wonderfully savoury & light, and while I struggle to achieve the same epic thin crispiness as the South Indian street vendors, my smaller version is protein-rich, tangy & oh-so versatile….

Stir the lentils through brown rice or quinoa, mix them with salad greens and chunky raw veges, put them in a toasted sandwich, or – and this is pretty spectacular – whip up a breakfast of champions: lentils on toast with a poached egg on top, bullseye!…
