just like Elton, Mariah and Whitney, salad is the backup singer that became a superstar, and it’s one of the great transformations of the food world.

these delicious vegan recipes are inspired by the incredible cuisines from countries I have visited in my travels. Along the way, I started my blog because I wanted to share my experience and teach others how to live a wholesome life too.

Being immersed in another culture gave me a greater respect for different ways of living, allowing me to be more open-minded about alternative food beliefs. I also learned a lot about different ingredients and cuisines. After so many amazing foodie experiences overseas, I have been bursting to share what I have learned with you! There are wholesome brekkies, satisfying meals for any time of day and mouth-watering sweets. They are packed full of…

tip 1 When lining your ovenproof bowl with foil press into the sides of the bowl to make it as smooth as possible. This will help stop the foil getting stuck to the side of your corn-chip structure. tip 2 Spread the bag of corn chips on a tray, so you can sort through them easily. When you make the first layer, lift the chips and make sure some cheese goes between each corn chip. tip 3 To make the second layer, secure corn chips in between the layer of chips on the side of the bowl. Then sprinkle more cheese in between those chips. You can use broken corn chips to fill holes. tip 4 The final layer is the trickiest stage. Try different chips to fit the spaces…

Matt Q How do I stop chicken from drying out on the barbecue? Don’t overcook it! You could have brined it – that would have helped keep it moist. You could have chosen thighs rather than chicken breast, as thighs have more fat and are therefore more forgiving if you overcook them a little. You also could try my current favourite technique for chicken, which is to cook it hard and fast on a very hot grill first, then cook it slow, slow, slow with very low or indirect heat until it is just cooked through. Turn once during this process. Finish with a last blast of heat to crisp up the skin and away you go. need a little help? If you have a question for one of our…

This marvellously tall layered sundae has come a long way since New York ice-cream parlours and prohibition, to be embraced by the Brits in all its glory. It sounds like the most American of desserts, but actually the Knickerbocker Glory – a tall glass of layered ice-cream, jelly, fruit and whipped cream with a cherry on top – was stolen from a little-known sundae in the US and made famous in the UK in the 1920s in an attempt to take on the Americans at their own game. While ice-cream and sorbets have a venerable history stretching back 2500 years, it took the Americans to bring this frozen treat to the masses. The first US ice-cream parlour opened in New York in 1776. In the US Nancy Johnson invented the…

how to store your PUD In the cooler climes of the Northern hemisphere it was traditional to hang your boiled christmas pudding to mature in the calico it was made in. Unfortunately the hot and humid conditions in Australia mean that storing the pudding this way can allow mould to form, making it inedible. A safer alternative is to cool the pudding entirely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until required. To reheat the pudding, wrap it in a clean, unfloured piece of calico and boil for an hour. Then serve with lashings of cream or custard.…
