Have you eaten too much over the holiday? The best way to get back on track is to, well, get right back on track. Stock your fridge with greens and apples, lemons and fresh herbs to make this refreshing and cleansing green juice. You don’t have to be on an all-juice cleanse to reap the […]

White Chocolate Raspberry Hammentashen Filling Recipe  

Words cannot even begin to describe the simplicity and decadence of this all-purpose chocolate lovers dream. I use this chocolate ganache as an icing for cakes and cupcakes and often as a mix in for ice creams, pies and more. My kids wouldn’t mind if I put it on their vegetables.

I could eat this every day. I got inspired for this recipe by a cauliflower dish in Gwyneth Paltrow’s It’s All Good. It pretty much is all good. I highly recommend her cookbook.

I vividly remember the early days with an infant in tow thinking, “will I ever get my groove back?” The physical and emotional overload of sleepless nights, newborn care and lugging around 9 months of weight gain leave many of us wondering if life will […]

They say you “don’t make friends with salad”. And brussel sprouts are certainly not a sure-fire way of making friends either. But trust me, these two signature ingredients will soon have you winning people over. This post was previously featured in Little Steps, the go-to guide for parents in Hong Kong, but I have since adapted […]
