The weekend before last as I had the most wonderful weekend as I got to spend it with some lovely foodies. On Saturday a fellow blogger, health coach and plant-based advocate came across from Italy to cook, chatting, food styling sharing ideas and the challenges of being a full-time food blogger. We had a lot to talk about!
Having spent many years working in an office, I’m still finding my way a freelancer and the one thing I do miss is the support and just the opportunity to share ideas with your colleagues. That’s why it’s so important to have a network of fellow bloggers and freelancers to chat to and support each other. I’ve said it before, but connecting with like-minded people really is one of the best bits!
And then on the Sunday I spent the afternoon with a couple cooking up a vegan feast at a private cooking class. Again, it’s so heartening to spend time with people who share your passion for good plant-based food and a just a general love of food.
I created this deliciously more -ish crispy cauliflower with minty peas the other day and I’ve got to say it’s pretty darn good!
I’ve got a massive coconut crush going on right now–Think lovely roast cauliflower coated in a crispy, slightly spicy coconut coating.
The combination of the cauliflower with the minty peas works so well, especially when stuffed into a pita bread with fresh tahini dressing and crunchy seeds. Somehow, it seems to be both comforting and fresh and light at the same time.
Just so good!

Hello! I found this recipe on a rummage through your site! Just made today and it’s really delicious, and enough leftover for work lunch boxes 🙂Reply
Really glad you like it Kimberley!

Made those this weekend: the taste is AMAZING really a subtle flavour.We used piadina bread (IT) and fresh mint and cauliflower from the market which helped of course 😉
I added some fresh spinach with the peas and it tasted great 🙂 ! Will definetely do it again, it’s a perfect “junk food” substitute – very satisfying.
I’m curious to try this coating mix with other vegetables and even do crispy tofu with this mix !
