This is a soup for the soul. It’s warm, soothing, mild but delicious. The medley of flavours is almost indescribable. There is warmth from the umami-like taste and the lack of spice makes this ideal for sick days.

Vitalising RedChaa new product from SPRIG, is a green tea powdered with hibiscus infusions, creating a breathtaking bright red pigment in your cup! This tea is a true beauty. RedCha is a vitalizing tea with a big dose of Vitamin C, which is perfect to help you fight the flu and the common cold. The ruby red hibiscus flower has been used for centuries in traditional medicines with its’ antioxidants having positive effects on cardiac health, hair growth and overall wellbeing and vitality.

This soup broth is from the very tea, infused with ginger, garlic, onions, black pepper and mushrooms. At the end of the simmer fresh spinach is added in along with a good sprinkling of SPRIG Sichuan Pepper and Sea SaltBefore serving, drizzle a few drops of the aromaticSPRIG Toasted Sesame Oil. This toasted sesame oil is really what brings the soup together and you may even get non-soup lovers to ask for another bowl!

pumpkin soup is one my favourite meals to have, and serving it up with an asian meal with hints of lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves is the best way to begin the meal. i also add a piece of bruised ginger to gently infuse in, without making it too spicy. the topping of crispy lightly caramelised pumpkin seeds is a *chef's kiss*

This is inspired from a NYTimes cooking recipe – an app that I have been scouring for inspiration instead of wasting time on Instagram. I saw a tomato rice recipe that inspired me to take a twist on it. Tomato and soy sauce is a wonderful combination and not used enough in my opinion. The tomatoes are blistered gently in a pan with flavours of ginger and garlic, and the a touch of soy sauce, with scrambled eggs, rice, veggies (mushroom works best here in my opinion), spring onions and toasted black sesame seeds – a beautiful umami dish.

This is a real surprise package flavour bomb. Previously I've been hesitant to integrate too much fruit into savoury dishes, but this combination of sweet grilled pineapples cubes with lot's of spicy chilies, soya, ginger, garlic and basil is a sheer delight. I also add in scrambled eggs because that just makes it perfect.
