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 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 [...]
I spent years and years without fudge! It's ordinarily laden with dairy and sugar, so I steered well clear of it. Then, a few years back, I discovered creamed coconut. It transformed my culinary experience forever, not least when I created the most delicious chocolate coconut fudge I have ever tasted. Creamed coconut is the [...]

When I first adopted a totally plant-based diet, some 21 years ago, things like cheesecake went completely fell by the wayside. Vegan recipes hadn’t yet taken the world by storm and in those earliest days of compassionate eating, I did keep my culinary creations more basic. However, a few years later at a vegan gathering, I was thrilled to learn that not only was it possible to create a vegan version of cheesecake, but it could taste amazing.
Blueberries and lemon are a match made in heaven. They dance and twirl on the taste buds creating an exquisite medley of flavours. In this blueberry fudge recipe, I've added them to one of my all-time trusted and favourite ingredients: 'creamed coconut', to create a decadent, soft fudge. It's very rich, yet you needn't feel [...]
When I first made these truffles I thought I was going to melt with delight. Perhaps it was a reflection of the multi sensory experience when I took my first bite; soft, sweet, rich, melt in the mouth chocolate covered sensual deliciousness. Difficult to imagine so much from such an easy recipe with only 5 ingredients.
