Sweet Potato Coconut Curry
This sweet potato coconut curry with lemongrass is so easy to make and one of the easiest way to get a heap of nutrients into us. When eating a plant-based diet, it’s so important to get enough protein and bioavailable calcium from vegetables and pulses. I actually didn’t use any pulses in this one but…

Cauliflower ‘Couscous’ with Sesame, Sweet Potato & Asparagus
Who would have thought you could take a vegetable and turn it into a carb substitute? Sometimes we just fancy a bit of stodge for dinner, right?? Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable and by blitzing it in the Vitamix, we can turn it into a couscous-like consistency. You can pretty much add anything you…
