Vegan mincemeat lattice tart
I was going to post this recipe early in the New Year as an encouragement to use up any leftover mincemeat abandoned in the back of the fridge. But why wait? It’s deserving of much more attention than an after thought – a decadent dessert to share over the festive period. Continue reading “Vegan mincemeat lattice tart”
Christmas red cabbage
When it comes to Christmas dinner in our house – or any roast dinner – it’s the veggies that are the star of the show. We have loads! Sometimes there’s too many dishes to fit on the table, but it’s worth the chaos – and the washing up 😉 Continue reading “Christmas red cabbage”
Christmas spiced parsnip soup
Thick, warming parsnip soup is a firm favourite in our house during the winter season. And as parsnips are a traditional veg served up with festive feasts, it only seems right to celebrate this loyal root vegetable with a ‘souped up’ 🙂 Christmas spice version. Continue reading “Christmas spiced parsnip soup”
Spiced pears
Have you noticed how in the festive season, desserts tend to be really heavy and rich? And if you are eating a plant-based diet for health reasons, often full of ingredients you need to avoid. Which inevitably means you end up missing out. And I don’t like missing out on desserts one bit! Continue reading “Spiced pears”
Mince Pies
Whilst some people are not big fans of traditional dried fruit Christmas bakes like Christmas cake or mince pies, I’m not one of them! I really love them, and could happily eat them all year round (like my father in law who happily tucks into an individual Christmas pudding mid July!). Continue reading “Mince Pies”

If you’re looking for a healthy icing recipe, please look away now! This is definitely not it! However, if you want to ice a celebration or Christmas cake and need an easy plant-based, oil free recipe, then you’re in the right place. Continue reading “Royal icing”
Lentil, sweet potato and shiitake mushroom loaf
What to have for a Sunday (or Christmas) roast? This is a question I get asked a lot, particularly if a) you’re allergic to nuts or b) you’re just a bit board with nut roast! Continue reading “Lentil, sweet potato and shiitake mushroom loaf”
Christmas Pudding
This traditional fruit pudding is not to everyone’s taste, but I still feel like Christmas Day is only complete after the pudding’s been set on fire and served with lashings of custard (yes custard – I’ve never been a brandy butter kind of person, even before I went dairy free!) Continue reading “Christmas Pudding”
Roasted squash and lentil filo swirl
It’s only a week until Christmas Day! Have you decided what you’re having for Christmas lunch this year? It could well be nut roast – and why not? It’s delicious. Especially if you jazz it up a bit with a filling, like this stuffed nut roast recipe. But what if you fancy something a bit different? Or can’t eat nuts? What else can you make for that special meal? Continue reading “Roasted squash and lentil filo swirl”
