Eat food you love that loves you back
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”
I do love a salad. No matter what time of year it is, there is always a wonderful combination of ingredients available to create a tasty, satisfying dish. Continue reading “Cauliflower and chickpea salad with zesty tahini dressing”
Salad for breakfast? Have I gone bonkers? Well, maybe, but not about food 😉 . All this early Spring sunshine has moved my mind away from warming comfort foods like soups and stews to something a little more vibrant and refreshing. Continue reading “Tasty breakfast salad”
Salad mid-winter may seem an odd choice but it’s surprising how many seasonal vegetables around at this time of year are delicious raw. Continue reading “Roast sweet potato and kale salad”
The holiday season has a big focus on food! Whether you’re hosting at home or a guest elsewhere, what’s on the menu is a big topic of conversation.

Being a plant-based eater, it’s a good job I love all vegetables. Or rather, nearly all – bitter gourd is one I don’t enjoy as it’s, well, just too bitter 😉 . But there are some veggies that I get really excited about eating when they’re in season. Continue reading “Green bean salad”
Even though summer seems to be a little shy, I have really enjoyed eating lots of different salads this year. I’m sure this is partly to do with the joy I get from popping outside to my lovely new veg patch to harvest freshly grown leaves, herbs and anything else in excess that can be reclassified as ‘salad’ 😉 Continue reading “Plant-based Greek salad”
It’s all kicking off in my new veg patch at the moment. After a slow and uncertain start, everything seems to have had a burst of energy and become very productive. Which is great as there’s something amazing about picking your own veggies then eating them still full of vitality and flavour. Continue reading “Baby kale and pea pod salad”
It’s nearly a year since we moved into our lovely home in the Devon countryside. Time certainly flies as it only seems like yesterday when we arrived with all of our ‘stuff’ packed in the campervan. We’ve certainly filled the house since then! Continue reading “Spinach, new potato and sugar snap pea salad”
It’s so the season for Brussel sprouts! And although I know many people only (reluctantly) consume these wonderful green nuggets on Christmas day, I am determined to win you over. Sprouts are not just for Christmas 😉 Continue reading “Tasty roasted Brussel sprouts”
