When I left home to start my nursing training and I felt in need of a sweet treat, I would pop to the local store and buy an individual pot of berry-topped cheesecake. Continue reading “Yummy berry sauce”

Katsu curry sauce
The first time I ate katsu curry was on a lunch out with my daughter. We’d been shopping in Brighton and decided to stop at Yo-Sushi to recover. We were already looking for plant-based foods and pumpkin katsu was on the menu. I was bowled over just how delicious it was. It was soon a favourite go-to dish. Continue reading “Katsu curry sauce”
Homemade vegan custard
When I was planning all the yummy food we’d eat over Christmas last year, I had a sudden urge for trifle. This used to be my favourite dessert as a child. I suddenly realised I hadn’t had it for a very long time, definitely not since going plant-based. So I decided it was time for a trifle treat. Continue reading “Homemade vegan custard”
Smoky tomato sauce
I have a group of basic recipes I use on a regular basis, ones I can adapt or spruce up depending on what I want to use it for. This simple smoky tomato sauce is one of them – full of flavour, low on faff! Continue reading “Smoky tomato sauce”
Chocolate sauce
Chocolate sauce! Could be bold enough to suggest that’s all I need to write here? Because who doesn’t need a little bit of chocolate sauce in their life, especially when ‘normal’ chocolate is off the menu. Continue reading “Chocolate sauce”

Creamy mushroom sauce
There is a combination of flavours I find tantalising – mushroom, white wine and tarragon. Mixed with a good helping of garlic and finished with some delicious dairy-free cream, it’s a decadent feast that takes moments to create. Continue reading “Creamy mushroom sauce”
Vegan salted caramel sauce
Hands up if you love a bit of salted caramel. I certainly do. But most salted caramel contains butter – dairy or vegan – which is not part of a whole-food plant-based diet. Continue reading “Vegan salted caramel sauce”
Smoky marinade
One of the arguments for not eating a plant-based diet I hear quite frequently is the food is bland. I have to confess, I have eaten some pretty poor meaIs out in restaurants, but it really shouldn’t be that way. And when you cook at home with fresh, vibrant ingredients, flavour is never far away! Continue reading “Smoky marinade”
Creamy tofu mayo
One of things I really missed when I first went plant-based was coleslaw. Which is probably why I posted three different coleslaw-like recipes early in my Sensitive Foodie blogging days! Continue reading “Creamy tofu mayo”
