Eat food you love that loves you back
When I first started to run my course Eat Well Live Well, all about eating a whole-food plant-based diet, I used to cook lunch for the participants each week. It was hard work, but I learnt early on that eating was believing – and if people experienced how tasty the recipes given out each week were, they would want to have that in their lives every day.

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”
If you fancy something a little different, this yummy soup could be the thing. It’s packed full of gut-loving fibre and has a subtle savoury flavour. You could even pimp it up with some chopped chestnuts for a seasonal twist. Continue reading “Leek and celeriac soup”
I am a big fan of all vegetables. Well, most of them! There is still the odd one or two I’m not keen on. Globe artichokes is one mainly because they just seem to be a bit too complicated! The other is celery. Continue reading “Celery soup”
I love parsnip soup. And I love cauliflower soup. So it only seemed like a natural progression to try the two together. And it was definitely worth doing! Continue reading “Parsnip and cauliflower soup”
Autumn has arrived, blown in on a cold wind that’s a bit of a shock after the warm weather of the last month. Chilly weather always makes me want comforting soup, something that will gives a big hug and warm me up right down to my toes. Continue reading “Easy vegan corn chowder”
If you’re reading this sitting in the hot summer sun, you may wonder why I’m posting a soup recipe in the middle of summer. But if you’re used to a British summer, then you’ll know that any day at this time of the year can be a soup day, as the weather is somewhat unpredictable. Continue reading “Red pepper and white bean sunshine soup”
One of the outcomes of lockdown for us is we have had time to create new raised beds to start growing our own veggies. This is actually the third time we’ve done this (we kept moving!) and these ones are by far the best. Continue reading “Courgette compendium”
This winter seems to have been very long! The wet, grey days are beginning to take their toll, although any time the sun does manage to make an appearance is a wonderful moment to behold! March is the beginning of spring; the crocuses and daffodils have bravely popped their colourful heads up, but I definitely don’t feel it’s time to move from comforting soups and stews to lighter, more spring-like meals. Continue reading “Vegetable and butter bean stew”
Autumn is definitely here.  Crisp mornings with air that tingles the end of your nose, leaves turning an array of colours before they drop to the ground in a pile ready to be jump in. Or, more sadly, stormy grey days with enough rain to send you into the back of the cupboard to hunt out the wellies. But whatever the weather, autumn is also time for thick, soul-soothing soup.
