Eat food you love that loves you back
When you look up Easter baking, the recipes tend to be chocolate based or fruit cake. And indeed you can find those recipes here on the blog like my chocolate muffins or Simnel cake. But if you’re looking for something a little different, these yummy carrot and maple muffins might just hit the spot. Continue reading “Carrot and maple muffins”
Dairy free cream comes in really handy in the plant-based kitchen. I’ve already shared a recipe for cashew cream. But what if you can’t eat nuts? This easy oat cream is a great alternative. Continue reading “Oat cream”
Is it possible to make fully vegan and gluten free pancakes without a disaster in the kitchen? Yes it is! And they taste amazing too. Continue reading “Fabulous gluten free vegan pancakes”
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!

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”
Okra is one of those ‘marmite’ vegetables – you either love it or hate it. I’ve not come across many people who don’t really have an opinion! Personally, I love it, but I do get why some of you don’t – it’s the slime factor! Continue reading “Okra and potato masala”

Which is not too much of a problem as there are so many other delicious plant-based foods to play with. Plus he’s often away, so aubergine becomes my indulgence when he’s on his travels.
