Crank up your Cauliflower

Published by Angelee

Serves 2-4 The humble cauliflower is such a gem of a veg, its a true chameleon.  It will adapt to its surroundings or even take on a completely different form like a pizza base or rice like consistency. This recipe is a twist on classic indian dish ‘Aloo Gobi’ which literally means potatoes, cauliflower.  My version makes the cauliflower the king in a celebration of flavours that will make your tastebuds stand up and salute the royal Cauliflower!

Sunshine Breakfast Smoothie

Breakfast is served in under 5 minutes… So I try to work from home at least once if not twice a week, and you’d think that on those mornings I would be chilling in my onzie making myself a nice cuppa match tea infused with ginger and lemon. Not quite, the school run is not for the faint hearted. There is always the mad rush in the morning, topped with I can’t find my PE kit or school shoes! Worse still at the eleventh hour you find out its dress like a ‘book character day’. I find myself muttering under my breath ‘what, seriously is that even a thing! Its at that moment that I pause take a deep breath ‘I’ve got this’. All I need is some eyeliner, a scarf and trousers tucked in socks and we have ourselves a pirate! Meanwhile whizz this up in 5 minutes and you’ll be ready for some swashbuckling adventure…captain Jack Sparrow to the rescue, yes please! INGREDIENTS (serves 2-3) 1 banana 2 heaped tblsp oats 4-5 strawberries …
