Kick Start Spring with Ayarah’s Cooking Retreat

Yes, That’s right, I am now taking bookings for my next cooking retreat. We will be staying in a gorgeous home located within the Margaret River region.

If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. And escape for three nights in a gorgeous location, surrounded by incredible beaches, beautiful wineries, amazing vegan food, with your own private chef. Then you need to book into this asap!

And if you thought it couldn’t get any better, then think again. Every morning you will wake to a bounty of vegan delights with fresh cold-pressed juices & herbal teas. Your days will consist of exploring the stunning coastline, beaches, forests, wineries, galleries or chilling. The best part about Ayarah retreats is you can choose to do as much, or as little as you like.

Each night you will have your private cooking lesson with me. Where we whip up amazing recipes to enjoy. Each night the meals are different and you take a recipe manual home with you.

All Retreat details and inclusions are located in the tabs below. Your days can be as busy or as relaxed as you like. See below for full details – Spaces are limited and the last retreat booked out within 14 days!

“QUOTE”

“Raya held a private cooking retreat for me and my four friends recently. And I must say it was the best experience I’ve had with vegan food, nutrition & guidance. Raya was so lovely and welcoming. None of my friends were vegan and they all came away saying they felt they could now go vegan! “

“Thank You! Raya, for an incredible experience and I, wish you all the luck in the world. See you at another retreat soon!

Roast pumpkin, cashew cream, pistachios & tuscan kale with red cabbage😋

Yum! My favourite part of winter is all the local cabbage, kale and pumpkins.

This is a super-easy way to jazz up some roasted pumpkin. Some of my favourite spices with pumpkin are cumin, cinnamon, paprika and chill. Drizzle with maple and olive oil to bake😋

Add some of your favourite nuts 🌰 place on a lightly sauté bed of winter greens and your all set! Goes great with a lemon tahini sauce too😍

Enjoy, Happy Cooking 👩🏻‍🍳

Happy Sunday🤸🏻‍♀️

I absolutely love all the colour from today’s class. Here are a few pics⬇️⬇️⬇️

Have a wonderful public holiday tomorrow🥳

Raspberry & Macadamia Loaf 😋 When baking cakes

Raspberry & Macadamia Loaf 😋

When baking cakes, muffins and loaves you don’t need any crazy ingredients to replace eggs. In fact, In almost every baking recipe there is no need for the egg. When you start messing around and adding chia seeds and flax you end up with heavier baked products. Trust the process 🌟

To make this ridiculous soft and fluffy loaf 🍞 you’ll need ⬇️
Ingredients
2 cups of frozen blueberries or raspberries
3 cups organic self-raising flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder & 3/4 cup of raw macadamias
3 cups of nut milk ( I like to use homemade cashew milk ) 1/4 cup of brown sugar & 125 grams of vegan butter Cooking spray or vegan butter to grease the loaf pan
Method
Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees. Place flour, baking powder in a large mixing bowl and set to the side. In a medium-size bowl mix the vegan butter & sugar. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Now add the mixture to the dry ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon until just mixed through. You don’t want to over mix your batter, as this tends to tighten the muffin or loaf. Add your berries of choice and lightly mix through. Spray a loaf tin or cup. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden and cooked through

Happy Cooking 💛 #bakingfromscratch #bake #bakedgood #raspberries #yum #fresh #ovenbaked #veganfood #veganrecipes #recipeoftheday #recipeshare #veganfoodporn #plants #plantbased #easyrecipe #nothingfancy #macadamias #winter #cosyfood

Red Wine Ragu Anyone? Hands down another house a

Red Wine Ragu Anyone?

Hands down another house and class favourite I love to teach and cook. To make this vegan version, I use king oyster mushrooms which are meat alternatives. They have a good structure and create a pulled meat style texture in this dish. You simply cut the tops and bottoms off and then using your fingers strip pieces off the. The secret is to also cook them very golden to get the yummy taste😋

Here is my recipe for you all to enjoy
2 tablespoons of oil, 4 King oyster mushrooms pulled apart. Fry with oil until deep golden around 10 minutes.
Then add 70grms of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 1 shallot diced fine, 2 cloves of garlic diced, 1 carrot chopped small, 1 celery stick diced small, 2 teaspoons of paprika, fry for 2 minutes.
Now add 1/2 a cup of red wine, 2 teaspoons of tamari, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook off for 2 minutes.
Now add 1 teaspoon of vegan chicken stock powder to 500ml of water and add to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20minutes. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, fresh thyme or parsley to serve.

Happy Cooking Everyone

Winter is well and truly here and I don't really d

Winter is well and truly here and I don't really do soups... I actually kinda loath them😜 Sorry soup lovers
I prefer to make yummy curries, ragu, stroganoff, pasta and rice dishes instead.

So, here is a super easy no oil Dahl you can whip up in under 10mins 🥳
To make you’ll need ⬇️

1 can rinsed lentils, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 2 teaspoons of gram masala, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon onion powder & 1/4 red onion diced fine. Start by heating all the spices, lentils and onions in a saucepan on medium heat. Once spices start to stick to the base. Add around a 1/4 cup of water and continue cook for a few minutes. You want to cook the mix for around 5 minutes, so if you need a little more water add it. But make sure your heat isn't too hot. It's important to cook the spices otherwise you end up with bitter food. After 5 minutes add 150ml of coconut milk and stir for another minute or two. Serve with fresh herbs and coconut yogurt

Enjoy x
Happy Cooking👩🏻‍🍳
