2019 started out strong with lots of cooking and new recipes being shared on the blog. The middle of the year knocked the wind out of us. With a life-changing event and several tough months, the blog was left in the lurch; all alone. Towards the end of 2019, getting back to blogging and sharing recipes felt cathartic. I had missed doing that and was happy to be cooking, writing and photographing.
You have loved these recipes on the blog this year. All good choices, I must say! And I hope you continue to cook from the blog in the coming weeks. I am hoping 2020 is healthful for us and for you all. And in that spirit, I am looking forward to sharing really vibrant and healthy recipes for you starting later this week.
Top 10 Most Popular Recipes From 2019
1. Bourke Street Bakery Dark Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
A good, solid fruit muffin with a bit of dark chocolate decadence especially for Monday mornings. This is one of our favourite muffins at home and is built on a butter and spelt flour base with some Greek yoghurt to swirl it all. Freezes well and goes perfectly with a cup of coffee.
2. Vegan Beetroot Quinoa Burger
A highly nutritious, flavor-packed vegan burger recipe that is delicious and moist through and through. Grated raw beetroot comes to life with a bunch of interesting spices and herbs. Freezes well and makes a great work lunchbox option.
“Thank you for this recipe! I was going to freeze the leftovers but we enjoyed the burgers so much that we ate them two nights in a row instead. I’ll definitely be making these again” – Tatiana
3. Vegan Green Garlic Spinach Flatbread
Green dough made instantly by blending lots of spinach, garlic, herbs and sparkling water. Stacks of green flatbreads or rotis keep well in the fridge and are great for wrapping salads, falafels and beetroot burgers or dipping and scooping your favourite tahini dip! A winning recipe!
4. Vegan Makhani Curry Sauce
A veganized version of the famous butter chicken sauce. MAde in less than 30 minutes, this sauce freezes really well and is great for adding anything you like to it for an instant delicious healthier curry – grilled veggies or crispy tofu!
“Wow what a delicious recipe!! I made the sauce and served it over roasted vegetables for me and chicken for the family along with your turmeric dahl. Both were so delicious and will be a staple. Thank you so much for sharing.” – Amanda
5. Salted Chocolate Chip Spelt Cookies
The most delicious, foolproof chocolate chip recipe there was. And the only one you will ever need. Makes a big giant batch and is utterly addictive. It is one of the first things I bake when school holidays begin!
“Well, I can say that it turns out this recipe only makes enough for one person lol! These are way good. Thanks for sharing!” – Hayden
6. Thai Green Curry Fishcakes
Fishcakes like you have never tasted them before. Plump and packed with big green flavours. And none of the oiliness of restaurant fishcakes. Wrap in lettuce. Eat and repeat!
7. Kale Mushroom Cashew Stir-Fry
A super delicious, super healthy veggie stir-fry with yummy sticky Chinese flavours and the crunch of roasted golden cashewnuts.
“I made this for work lunches this week. It was quick, really tasty, and is good reheated. I love kale and cauliflower, but have never thought to put them in a stir fry before! Will definitely make again.” – Fiona
8. Instant Chickpea Bread
A beautiful golden gluten-free turmeric cornbread topped with golden nuts and seeds. Big flavours and perfect for slathering with green chutney.
9. Passionfruit Margarita
A super easy and delicious passion fruit cocktail for warm balmy evenings. One of our go-to cocktails in summer!
10. Parsi Egg
A one-pan sticky caramelized onion and tomato concoction topped with eggs that set slowly. An heirloom recipe that is equally delicious as breakfast or dinner!
