Strawberry ‘No-Cheeze’ Cake – (gluten-free, vegan, no-bake)

When I first adopted a totally plant-based diet, some 21 years ago, things like cheesecake went completely fell by the wayside. Vegan recipes hadn’t yet taken the world by storm and in those earliest days of compassionate eating, I did keep my culinary creations more basic. However, a few years later at a vegan gathering, I was thrilled to learn that not only was it possible to create a vegan version of cheesecake, but it could taste amazing.

Grilled ‘Falafel Carrot Burgers’ (glutenfree, vegan)

Falafel originated in the Middle East and has since become a popular alternative to meat. These days, it makes a regular appearance in fast food trucks and health food outlets all over the western world. It is typically deep fried, although I’ve always opted to create a much healthier baked or grilled alternative.

Easy tahini sauce for falafels or veggie burgers

Tahini is a beautiful creamy paste made from sesame seeds. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy seeds and works a real treat for salad dressings and sauces. In this recipe I’ve created a tahini sauce especially for falafels. The tasty, creamed blend of garlic, coriander and tahini complement the warming spices and chickpeas of falafels perfectly.

This ‘Thai Coconut Curry’, uses kaffir lime for a tangy kick; cardamom pods for an exquisite burst of sweet, spicy excitement; coriander, turmeric and lots of other delicious things.

The adrenal glands are best known for their fight-or-flight ability to produce adrenaline in stressful or challenging situations. They also support the body by secreting other hormones that are vital for everyday function. Without healthy adrenal glands, our whole quality of life goes on a rapid downward spiral.

Wild Garlic & Beetroot Spring Salad with Hemp Dressing

It’s that time of year where leaves, greens and flowers are springing up over my garden. I feel incredibly blessed to have such a space. It wasn’t exactly handed on a plate though. The space was full of rubble and grass when we moved here 9 years ago. I took one glance at it and saw the potential of a beautiful sanctuary for bees, hedgehogs, frogs and herb (yes… especially lots of herbs!) After plenty of tender, love and care (and sweat!) we now have the most beautiful haven…
