My plant-based recipes are truly egalitarian, for every person who enjoys a flavour-packed, vegetable-heavy dish. No labels required.
Recipe of the week
Smashed eggplant udon noodles
Smoky, spicy and nutty smashed eggplant is the perfect partner for fat udon noodles. The eggplant tenderly clings to each chubby strand, a silky and earthy coating. You don’t really think of the smashed eggplant as a sauce or an accompaniment. They simply become one with the noodles.

Easy, vegetable-packed weeknight cooking ideas for the week ahead.

I started making salads from my home kitchen in Surry Hills, Sydney in 2011. Twice a week, I would dream up hearty, delicious, vegetable-packed salads, pack them onto the back of my bicycle and cycle them around my neighbourhood, delivering lunch to locals.
I called my little project Arthur Street Kitchen, because I lived on Arthur Street and my home kitchen was my happy place, where I would spend countless hours creating and feeding.
Soon, the local salad-eaters became an intrinsic part of my community.
