This year I'll be having a quite Christmas Dinner at home with my son. We'll be enjoying a table filled with totally plant-based, gluten-free, healthy deliciousness. Consciously preparing cuisine, with love, means that we can truly celebrate in style and know that we are honouring other sentient life in the process... Of course it has [...]
It's no secret that I love making my own chocolate. The secret is to buy good organic, fairly traded ingredients and make it with love. Most people who haven't created this delectable treat before assume that it's complicated. Once you know how you'll see that it is really easy. Not only that, you'll find that [...]
Let's talk about feel-good comfort food! Sometimes you just want something that has a perfect moist cake texture whilst giving you a sweet (but not sugary sweet) 'ahhhhh' moment - leaving you feeling satiated, yet not bloated. Now we're talking! How about some gluten-free vegan banana bread made without refined sugar? My old friend [...]
This recipe is very easy. It's a basic medley of squash and black beans cooked in one pot with a chorus of warming spices, coconut and tomato. I use squash and black beans to create a very healthy, inexpensive vegan dish. You get a nice infusion of protein from the beans and well-rounded deliciousness from [...]
I've long since recognised the necessity of exercise for a life of health and wellness. Walking, hiking and a dabble of yoga, here and there, have regularly featured in my life... however, admittedly, over the years I developed a bit of a tendency to become laid back with fitness. My lower back was giving me [...]
People all over the world are realising that being vegan is not only an ethical choice, but also crucial for health, longevity and the planet. It’s going mainstream! Having thrived on a totally plant-based diet for 21 years myself, I am totally over-joyed to witness the surge in compassion towards sentient life that has happened [...]
Homemade vegan gifts are an opportunity to express our heart and soul. Giving speaks volumes of the compassion that we feel toward others. Gift giving is also an opportunity to express how much we care about the world around us. When I give gifts, I want to make sure that I am celebrating my love [...]
This is a special feature from my recipe book Angelicious, along with my latest step-by-step gluten-free Bakewell Tart video guide. Bakewell tart is a popular English confection dating back to the 1800s. The traditional recipe essentially breaks down into three parts: (i) a shortcrust pastry base (ii) jam filling (iii) an almond-infused, sponge topping. [...]
I am often asked to share my chunky mushroom gravy, so here we go! This is the perfect partner for healthy loaves, like my Gluten-free Seed Roast Loaf and dinners that need a tasty sauce. It's simple to make, because gravy really doesn't need to be complicated. I've been making it like this for as [...]
I love dispelling the myth that healthy food can't be absolutely delicious. There's something really satiating about eating a dessert that not only tastes scrumptious, but is also full of healthy ingredients. My 'Fig-a-licious Vegan Tart' is free from diary, egg, wheat, gluten, refined sugar and it STILL tastes delectable. We absolutely love this one [...]
