When the winter kicks in, soup seems to get all the more cosier and inviting. It's that warm nurturing 'ahhhhhhhhh' feeling. Today I am sharing a recipe for my leek and beetroot soup because it really hits the spot and I think you'll love it! I enjoy popping down to the local farmers market (with [...]
Happiness is making a big batch of gluten-free vegan chocolate chip cookies (or biscuits as we affectionately call there here in England) - then having everyone pile into the kitchen and watching the plateful vanish in two seconds flat. Ahhhhhhhh! Such is the effect of this delectable recipe. It doesn't much matter if people normally [...]
Oh my goodness, there the most heavenly aroma is flooding my kitchen right now. Easy-baked gluten-free, vegan shortbread cookies are happening! I was so thrilled when I developed this recipe. Not only is it de-e-e-elicious, it is also super easy to make. I love that healthy eating can be delectable too. It's hard to [...]
Sweet mince pies are traditional British confectionary served during the festive season. If you are British, you'll know exactly how delicious these are already. If you've not yet heard of them, then you are in for a real treat! Today I am sharing a delightful version, made gluten-free, vegan and naturally sweetened. The filling is [...]
I think I could live on avocado! In fact when I go to visit somewhere where avocados grow naturally, then that's exactly what I do ha ha! One of my favourite recipes is this parsley and lime guacamole, which I'm sharing below. At the time of writing this I was visiting Kauai, the Garden Isle [...]
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 [...]
