Millet is one of those grains that people often don't know what to do with. It is an ancient food that is still a staple in many parts of the world today. In its whole form, it comes as small rounded grains. Although you can buy it in flaked form or use it when it [...]
Hummus is a sort of 'hard to describe' citrusy - tahini - garlic - chickpea fusion. Add smoked paprika and you get smoked paprika hummus. A whole new level of deliciousness. Hummus is a welcomed addition to any diet. It's plant-based dip full of essential fats. It is high in protein and has a well-rounded [...]
What is it about 'sloppy' food that always makes it taste the best!?! Today I am sharing a super feel-good, Spicy Black Beans one-pot comfort food recipe. This recipe excites me. It's one of those delightful, medleys of deliciousness. Where the flavours dance and entwine to become so much more than all the individual parts. [...]
This creamy cauliflower soup recipe is based on a delicious recipe from my latest book The Kind Earth Cookbook. We've enjoyed this in many forms over the years here at my house and it's always been popular on retreats with guests. I can't say that it is one particular ingredient that makes this vegan soup [...]
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 [...]
Gluten-free pastry is a whole different experience to regular wheat or spelt-based pastry. Personally, it helps me to throw out any conventional ideas about pastry making, because the process for creating, is somewhat different (easier too). Let's look at the delicious pastry I am using for this vegan raspberry apple crumble pie. I've opted for [...]
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. Today, that nurturing creamy tomato and rosemary inspired vegan sweet potato lentil soup is on the stove - ahhhhhh. The thing everyone loves about soup is [...]
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 [...]
