I am partial to a cookie – who’s not? Firm on the outside, soft on the inside, the perfect cookie melts in your mouth whilst the taste buds are bombarded with sweet deliciousness. Continue reading “Oat and raisin cookies”

Mediterranean lentils with charred asparagus
One of the main objections I hear from people about moving to a whole-food plant-based diet is that they don’t have time to cook from scratch every day. Or, if they have a chronic health condition like an autoimmune disease, they don’t have the energy due to fatigue. These are both real problems for many people. Creating healthy, nourishing meals doesn’t have to be complicated though. Continue reading “Mediterranean lentils with charred asparagus”
Rhubarb Eve’s Pudding
This is one of my favourite simple desserts – easy to make and always tasty. I only found out recently it had a proper name though – Eve’s pudding. Continue reading “Rhubarb Eve’s Pudding”
‘Superfood’ bread
Bread is such a staple food all round the world. Indeed, humans have been eating some form of bread for at least 14,400 years. That’s still during hunter gatherer times prior to farming. Continue reading “‘Superfood’ bread”

After all, hummus comes in all shades, like my roasted squash and harrisa hummus or startling pink beetroot hummus. But, as the saying goes, a change is as good as a rest; this super tasty dip definitely hits the spot. Continue reading “White bean, roasted garlic and thyme dip”
Warming carrot and lentil soup
The sudden change in temperature has come as a bit of a shock. Only a few weeks ago, I was out and about in London one evening in only a light jacket commenting on how warm it was for November. That feels a long way away from this morning when I had to spend some time defrosting the car to get to an appointment! Continue reading “Warming carrot and lentil soup”
Apple and blackberry oat slice
The hedgerows have been laden with beautiful, glistening blackberries this summer. I love going out foraging for these tasty berries. Continue reading “Apple and blackberry oat slice”
High fibre red lentil bread
I have been experimenting with different types of bread recipes recently. Despite my best efforts, my body just won’t tolerate ‘normal’ bread recipes. Even sourdough doesn’t seem to like me, no matter how much I try to convince myself it does! Continue reading “High fibre red lentil bread”
