Hi there, my name is Deepa Makwana and if you hadn’t guessed already, I LOVE all things food, travel and lifestyle. Since moving from London to New York, I have been wanting to write about my recipes and travel however I was a little afraid to share! But as my mother always says ‘if you don’t try, you will never know’. So I have finally decided to create my own little outlet on anything and everything involving things like where to eat, travels, home recipes, my fav home products or even the best shows I am watching! If I can help in any way – I have achieved my goal! Come on in and have a peak! DeepsMak x

Vegetarian Meatballs & Spaghetti

March 19, 2019.Reading time 5 minutes.

I love a good hearty and filling spag bowl, especially with vegetarian meat balls! It’s such a comfort food classic and it’s a perfect meal to make on a busy weeknight. Better yet, if you want to make the meatballs from scratch, you can make them on the weekend so all you have to do is cook some spaghetti and sauce when […]
