Crumble must be the easiest baked dessert out there. All you need is fruit (in this recipe I am using blackberries and apples) and a crumbly, rustic 'lovingly-thrown-together' crumble topping. Today I am sharing my gluten-free vegan blackberry crumble recipe... This was one of the first sorts of desserts that I used to make when [...]
I've often thought that if I owned a food van serving street food, then beetroot falafels would be top of my menu. They're traditionally deep-fried (I grill or bake mine, as you'll see in a minute when we get to the recipe) and served in pita bread (making them an excellent grab n' go food). [...]
As much as I adore spending lots of time in the kitchen and making an abundance of different dishes for guests when it comes down to the day-to-day practicalities of my life, I tend to be a bit partial to making dinner fast - usually within 15 minutes! This is where my Vegan Butternut Pasta [...]

Ok, here we go! The colder weather is on its way here in the Northern Hemisphere. Out come the pans - warming soups are suddenly on the menu again.

Compote is actually really a dessert from medieval Europe. Times change and I adore making compote (which in this case is essentially, gently, stewed fruit, with a little je ne sais quois) for breakfast. I first started making this raspberry an apple after I moved to Somerset in 1996 in the South West of England (I’ve [...]
If you've been tuning in here for any length of time, you might have noticed that I am a bit of a fan of cauliflower salads. In this recipe, I am sharing a totally new variation, dressed with a delightful vegan pesto. I am using cashews, lime and basil as the main ingredients for the [...]
This article about compassionate eating for empaths is intended for empaths or anyone who might consider themselves as a highly sensitive person. So if that's you, then please do read on... An empath is a person with an extraordinary gift – the ability to feel energy and emotions of other people and other sentient beings, [...]
This is perhaps one of the most popular soup recipes that I make. I would go as far to say it is probably the best mint and pea soup you will ever taste! When I say popular, I mean, judging by the response I get when I serve this to group. Oh my goodness, [...]
If you live in the UK or Ireland, then a 'flapjack' is a very popular bar made from oats. If you live in Australia, New Zealand or North America, then you might know them as muesli bars, granola bars or oat bars. In this recipe, I am sharing a delicious pumpkin seed and hemp seed [...]
