There is something so comforting about homemade soup. I love building layers of flavour and tasting as it all comes together. Try this delicious creamy avocado soup on a cold winter day and it may become a staple in your kitchen too. Surprise. This rich, velvety soup contains no cream or milk. Forget any avocado […]

Couscous for the couscous haters
I know quite a few people who hate couscous. Even the word itself is strange. Me, on the other hand, always keep making it just ‘cause it goes well with almost everything. There’s always a pack of that instant gold to be found in my kitchen. Foodies will scream: i-n-s-t-a-n-t. Yeah, instant.
