Quite possibly the best thing since sliced bread - gluten-free vegan wraps that work. Homemade, gluten-free wraps that are wrappable. We are talking about an excellent, healthy tortilla-style wrap that you can use in a multitude of different ways. You might have already noticed some of the nasty ingredients in the packaged varieties. Today [...]
In this article, I am sharing my favourite recipe for a super healthy immune-boosting salad. We'll also look at what the immune system is in simple terms, and why the ingredients in this healthy salad are so good for our health. Enjoying a healthy plant-based diet, including salads, means that you are getting immune-boosting nutrients [...]
Here's a little magical treat that I've been making for years since I discovered how rewarding it was to make your own jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Infused with choice ingredients, this is rather delicious. This is my ginger version. It makes a frequent appearance when I am making food for people. I use it to [...]
When I wrote this I was in Hawaii, visiting my Mam. We'd had gotten some fabulous daikon (also called mooli or white radish) from the farmers market and was like 'let's make picked daikon'. It was Mam who inspired me originally in the kitchen. Growing up in Northumberland, England, Mam always made the most [...]

Finally! I can't believe I haven't shared this one on my blog so far, especially since it is one of the most common types of salads that I make - a constant crowd-pleaser and a 'must make' when creating a healthy buffet for groups of people. I have been making this (in its various guises) [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
