I must warn you, once you start to make your own plant-based milk it really is hard to go back to the carton stuff. It's so much more vibrant and alive, you can feel the difference.

I was visiting a friend on the island and in my usual style, I just HAD to take some cake. There is just something about sharing cake over a nice cup of tea. My friend does this gorgeous 'Japanese style tea ceremony' thing no matter what the occasion... so the whole thing is like a [...]
Breakfast time! I don't know about you but when the cooler weather hits there's nothing like an oat porridge in the morning. But would you know it, oat porridge is actually a bit of an ancient thing? Before the advent of some of the more modern baking techniques, it used to be a staple food [...]

It imparts a caramel-like flavour, with hints of [...]
