My take on the traditional sausage roll, although there is not a lot that is traditional about these. A miso mushroom filling wrapped in a puffy pastry coat, they are the perfect addition to your summer picnic hamper. Easy to make a day ahead and can be served hot or cold. Ingredients: 300g Mushrooms (button [...]
Pasteis de Nata are a traditional Portuguese tart filled with a sweet, rich eggy custard. A recently cancelled trip to Lisbon had me craving these little tarts and so I went on a mission to create my own vegan version. The custard is made with silken tofu as it has a very soft texture and [...]
Ginger snaps were one of my favourite biscuits at school break time and thankfully for me were always the ones left as everyone opted for the classic bourbon or custard creams. However, I think these little biccys are delicious and deserve a chance in the spotlight. I adapted Delia's recipe to make these vegan and [...]
Hummus is a staple in our household and we seem to get through it very quickly! Making hummus is very easy, only takes a few minutes and tastes infinitely better than shop bought. With this recipe you can easily adjust the quantities of lemon juice, salt and cumin but I would strongly recommend investing in [...]
Vegan cinnamon buns are hard to find, but fear not you don't have to look any further! These buns are fluffy and soft on the inside with a caramel-like buttery filling and of course a shed load of cinnamon. Make them for elevenses with a cup of coffee or dessert with a scoop of vanilla [...]
A feel good dinner, that warms you from the inside out. Full of fragrant ginger, umami miso and crispy tofu it is a great dinner for rainy days or a quick midweek dinner. The recipe for the gyoza's can be found here - not an essential addition but all the more tasty for it! Serves [...]
A lovely summery lunch dish to serve with salad and a good dollop of garlic mayonnaise. Although it looks complicated this recipe is actually very easy to make, especially when you use bought puff pastry (even in lockdown - no one has time to make puff pastry from scratch!). Serves 4 (as a side) or [...]
I absolutely love mayonnaise. It was probably the hardest thing about moving towards a plant based diet, as there just weren't any good alternatives on the market. And the ones that were either tasted like looked like PVA glue or tasted so oily it was unpalatable. Thankfully now there are a few emerging onto the [...]
These muffins are light, fully and so delicious. The addition of ground almonds gives the sponge a delicate but moist texture and the spices mean it is super flavourful and almost gingerbread like. Either bake into a whole cake or separately as muffins. Makes 14 Muffins Ingredients: 7g Apple Cider Vinegar200ml Oat Milk200g Carrots100g Vegan [...]
A recipe adapted from Sabrina Ghayours Rose Harissa Pasta from her book Bazaar - it was too good not to recreate in my own way! A little spicy kick from the Rose Harissa and a mellow creaminess from Tahini this pasta sauce almost tastes quite meaty. The sauce itself could also be used as a [...]
