Plant based recipes made with love
I’m back! It’s been a long time since I posted here, thank you for checking in. I’ve had a baby in the time I’ve been away, so I hope you’ll forgive me for being absent. Now he’s almost one and I have a fabulous baby sitter giving me a hand each day so I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and creating delicious vegan recipes again.

Summer is in full swing on this side of the world and I’m loving all the summer food that comes with it. My favourite dish at this time of year has always been FALAFEL. I love how quick they are to prepare, the fact you can make a meal for four with one tin of chickpeas never ceases to amaze me. Serve with homemade flatbreads, hummus a big green salad and you have a feast that’s sure to please.
I think I’m yet to meet a person that doesn’t like falafel. They’re the ultimate crowd pleaser. Perfect for entertaining, I love having friends over and just filling the table with food and everybody helps themselves.
These falafel are even healthier than usual thanks to extra goodies like spinach, fresh parsley and chia seeds. The falafel take just over 30 mins to prepare, so if you don’t have time to prepare the flatbreads too, just grab some ready made pitta or wraps and away you go. You can also prepare these in advance and freeze them for quick meals. If you’re trying to keep your carb intake down, try adding them to a big salad or buddha bowl – super delicious!
If you a little more time spare, I highly recommend making these flatbreads. Just 10 minutes to put together, an hour to prove and you can make fresh, warm flatbreads to go with your falafel and hummus. Nothing beats the flavour or flatbreads fresh out the pan, trust me!
I highly recommend investing in a cast iron skillet if you don’t have one yet. They make for the crispiest falafel and get those lovely bubbles on the flatbread too. Plus a cast iron skillet will last you a lifetime if you look after it properly! If you don’t have one, just use a heavy bottomed frying pan if you can.
I’d love to hear if you try this recipe. Let me know below, pin it, or take a snap and tag me on Instagram @bos.kitchen. I also have a snazzy new app in case you haven’t checked it out yet – you can grab a load of my latest recipes there! www.boskitchen.app

Hey, friends! It’s been a hot minute since I posted here (will somebody please tell 2019 to slooooow down?!) so I’m back with brand spanking new recipes for you this month to make up for it!
This year I want to bring you more ‘real’ food. Food that I actually eat on the regs. There’s some dishes that I make every single week and this spinach pesto pasta is one of them. Not only is it ridiculously easy to prepare, it’s loaded with flavour, nutrients and fibre!

Hi friends! How is the first month of 2019 treatin’ ya? I hope you’re easing in slowly and enjoying the clean slate that the New Year brings. I’m not a huge fan of resolutions (every day is a chance to start again imo) but I do enjoy trying new things in January, especially if it involves food. As much as my body is down for kale salads and smoothies, it’s still very cold outside here and my body is craving something warm for dinner. That’s why I’m sharing my fave VEGGIE GYOZA recipe with you today. Everything is made from scratch and you probably already have all the ingredients in your cupboard! …
It’s almost the end of 2018 and even though the year is coming to a close and people are winding down for New Year, life seems busier than ever. My intentions for 2019 are to slow down and really practice living in the moment. Nothing says ‘slow down’ to me more than a cup of hot herbal tea. Soothing, calming and refreshing, it’s the best way for me to come back to the present moment and take stock….
Party season is here – the season of nibbles, bubbles and desserts. Canapés and appetisers are the best part of any evening, so I had to bring you one of my all time favourite party recipes – veggie sausage rolls! Irresistibly snackable, deliciously moreish and sure to please all of your guests, even the meat eaters.
…
It’s the season of desserts and all things sweet, so I had to share with you one of my all time favourite (and EASY) desserts – the chocolate tart!
These little tarts are the perfect after dinner treat, mid afternoon snack and make a stunning treat for a dinner party with friends. The best thing is they taste naughty, rich and creamy but are secretly healthy!…
Looking for an easy to prepare, secretly healthy cake for your celebration table this year? Look no further my friend, this Gingerbread Cheesecake is here to get the party started!

Say hello to my new favourite way to eat pumpkins – stuffed full of goodies! These little babes were sitting in my kitchen for the last couple of weeks and I was desperate to find a way to use them whilst keeping their pretty shapes in tact.
The whole thing is ready in the time it takes to cook the pumpkins, so around 45 minutes. Perfect for a midweek meal or a party with friends, they’re sure to be a talking point at the dinner table. I’m crushing on their little hats too, so cute!
They’d be great for Christmas or Thanksgiving, anything with cranberries and pomegranate always makes me feel like winter has arrived.
