Salt and Pepper Chicken with Vegetables and Nori Rice

This is my take on a classic Chinese takeout menu item. Since I’m making it at home I’m taking advantage of throwing in a whole lot of vegetables to make it a well-rounded meal. Don’t skip on the nori rice! The umami flavour is incredible. This dish is naturally gluten and dairy free

Cold Israeli Couscous Salad with Caper Dressing

Israeli couscous (or Pearl couscous) is made from wheat flour, so it tastes very much like pasta, most similar to orzo. The cooking technique is slightly different, but still quite simple! This dish is vegan, but sometimes I serve this up with a grilled pork chop on the side.

Vegetable Curry (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Curries are such amazingly flavourful dishes and are so versatile. This one is easily modifiable to suit your lifestyle. Add some chicken or lamb if you want that extra protein and meaty flavour. Substitute the vegetables here for whatever you have in your fridge or pantry. Broccoli instead of cauliflower? Sure. Lentils instead of chickpeas? No problem. Yogurt instead of coconut milk? You get the point.
