OK so bolognese is traditionally made with minced meat - I know, I know! We call this mushroom bolognese, so I am keeping that name here. This is our vegan mushroom bolognese made with sweet potatoes and passata (or tomato sauce). Be warned though, it is incredibly delicious! But we don't eat meat here, so [...]
Yesterday I was super busy preparing everything before some long haul travel. I am going to be a way for a while, so that involved emptying my fridge of all the stuff that I know won't get eaten whist I am away. When I looked in my fridge I found a massive head of celery [...]
I've gone bonkers for potatoes lately, enjoying them most days in one way shape or form. Have rather bizarrely gone almost completely off grains at the moment. A temporary potato obsession perhaps ha ha. Enter lentil cottage pie and I've found the ultimate feel-good potato topped dinner. I am chuffed to know that potatoes contain [...]
There's nothing like a bit of chocolate to elevate the mood! To be completely honest, I've actually been down a lot lately - grieving the loss of the 'love of my life'. I'd lose my appetite for days and weeks at a time, hardly eating anything at all. And then there was chocolate! During the times [...]
Beetroot hummus! This is where I get really excited. It's the taste. It's the incredible nutritional profile. Oh my goodness - it's that colour! When I make food for groups, it brings me a lot of joy to make sure there is a magical dance of colours on the table at lunchtime. Nothing quite makes [...]
This quick and easy ratatouille is one of my favourite simple meals when I want something warming, wholesome and packed with vegetables without spending too long in the kitchen. It is naturally vegan and gluten free, and it works just as well as a light main dish as it does as a colourful side. Traditional [...]
Millet is one of those grains that people often don't know what to do with. It is an ancient food that is still a staple in many parts of the world today. In its whole form, it comes as small rounded grains. Although you can buy it in flaked form or use it when it [...]
Hummus is a sort of 'hard to describe' citrusy - tahini - garlic - chickpea fusion. Add smoked paprika and you get smoked paprika hummus. A whole new level of deliciousness. Hummus is a welcomed addition to any diet. It's plant-based dip full of essential fats. It is high in protein and has a well-rounded [...]
What is it about 'sloppy' food that always makes it taste the best!?! Today I am sharing a super feel-good, Spicy Black Beans one-pot comfort food recipe. This recipe excites me. It's one of those delightful, medleys of deliciousness. Where the flavours dance and entwine to become so much more than all the individual parts. [...]
This creamy cauliflower soup recipe is based on a delicious recipe from my latest book The Kind Earth Cookbook. We've enjoyed this in many forms over the years here at my house and it's always been popular on retreats with guests. I can't say that it is one particular ingredient that makes this vegan soup [...]
