Raw chocolate and peppermint tarts
These indulgent yet super healthy sweet treats are so easy to make.
Omnia cheddar & spring onion loaf
One of my all time favourite comfort foods is a cheese and onion crisp sandwich using white bread. This loaf brings back those memories of this after school snack with the gentle flavours of the cheese and onion.
Chickpea, sweet potato & nettle stew
This turned out amazing when I missed the shops and just had to make something good from what I had in.
Seafood feast.
Back home we have amazing seafood since we are an island in the Mediterranean and sometimes we crave some prawns and mussels so we decided to head to a fish shop.

Tomatillo Salsa
We never imagined making tomatillo salsa would be this easy!
First, you just need to find the tomatillos in the grocery store. At Whole Foods, they are in the refrigerated produce section. Tomatillos are sold in the store in their husks. You can also find them at local farmers markets in the summer.
Garlic Damper
As a Australian school kid I remember being taken to the local park and learning how to make Damper and Billy Tea, there are many recipes, some use milk, even lemonade or beer, this is a simple one with only water. They are traditionally baked in a Camp Oven in the coals of a open fire
The addition of garlic powder to a make it a perfect accompaniment to pasta

Vegetable Burritos
I take back what I said about eggs being the perfect food. In fact, burritos are the perfect food First of all, you can make ANYTHING into a burrito. I’ve even made burritos out of peanut butter, apples, and trail mix. Because let’s face it, everything tastes better when it’s wrapped in a delicious flour tortilla. Premade burritos are an excellent trail food because they are super filling, very portable, and pretty cheap depending on what you put in them. A basic rice, veggie & cheese burrito can cost less $3 per portion and is one of the most nutritious meals you can eat. They can be made in one pot and enjoyed immediately, or wrapped up in tin foil for a summit snack. You can also easily modify this recipe to make tacos instead!
Potatoes, Eggs & Black Bean Breakfast Scramble
This is one of our favorite breakfasts and we have eaten it multiple times per week, for several years. Eggs are essentially the perfect food. Tasty, nutritional, and very inexpensive. When scrambled with the satisfying starch of a potato, some black beans and your favorite hot sauce on top, you’ll look forward to having it day after day. With the cost of this meal being less than $2 per portion, you really can’t go wrong!
Brain Power Smoothie
We call this “the Brain Power Smoothie” simply because it’s fully loaded with so many vitamins.
Van-Made Granola
APPLE COMPOTE
To make apple compote, stew four big, peeled, cored and chopped cooking apples in a little water until they turn into mush. Then mash them up with a fork (or use a food processor)
