What I like concerning the book is that her Jamaican roots make the food very flavorful. Keep a watch for some Jamaica classics within the book! More about Michelle and her blog here.
Try her pulled jackfruit sandwich, Jamaican dumplings, brown rice pelau, artichoke spinach lasagna, black bean quinoa burrito bowl, chickpeas and dumplings, lentil tacos, brown bread, Victoria sponge cake, coconut lime berry tarts, and various salads, soups, smoothies and juices.
I made her carob muffins. With gluten-free baking I’m generally nervous because the recipes generally is a hit or a miss and and with all of the almond meal within the muffins, I actually wanted them to prove well. They usually did! Fabulously moist and never too sweet and ideal treat.
tThe mufins use rice flour and almond meal and could be whipped together in 10 minutes. I used white rice flour because brown rice flour has a way of getting onto to my taste buds and yelling hey I’m brown rice flour out here. bitterish and earthy 😛 .
I made her bbq Tofu since it was calling out my name over the weekend. I also love the story of how the bbq tofu got here about. This delicious Tofu would make great sandwiches.

Barbecue Tofu from Healthier Steps
I share this dish in loving memory of an expensive friend, Barbara Raimey, who taught me how one can make barbecue tofu. I actually have cooked this dish greater than every other and it’s at all times a winner. Barbara came around our family several times. She was quiet and sweet and didn’t say an excessive amount of. She would love to go to because I lived within the countryside, where it was peaceful and quiet. While she stayed with our family, she didn’t ask for much; she was content and pleased and enjoyed just being with us. She would spend hours walking with Devannah and me when Devannah was 6 years old. On the time, I didn’t know Barbara had terminal cancer. I came upon that at one point she was an owner of a vegan restaurant and had years of experience as a chef.
