Sprouts get a bad rep, nobody really likes them and they are too often cooked as a Christmas tradition rather than a welcome part of Christmas dins. Controversially, I actually rate them and think that they are delicious! But as with most veg the success is in the cooking of the sprouts and the flavour [...]
I have been going through a bit of a fixation recently with perfecting a vegan white chocolate blondie. After a few attempts at tweaking the ingredients, cooking time and cooking temp, this recipe came out spot on and exactly how I wanted them to be! Soft and squidgy on the inside with chunks of vegan [...]
I am a sucker for a good stew in the Autumn/Winter, especially if it comes with dumplings. They are nostalgic, fluffy, crisp on the top and slightly soggy on the bottom, balls of deliciousness. These dumplings have a shed load of dill added to them to add a little bit of flavour and complement the [...]
Autumn has well and truly set in with rainy days and chilly evenings, however it has bought us squash season! Butternut squash can be found in abundance in the supermarket at the moment, making it the perfect center piece of your meal. Served with a rich garlicky tomato sauce, chilli flakes and a dill and [...]
These burger buns are made using an enriched dough, making them soft, fluffy and delicious. They take a bit of time and an ounce of effort to make but the results are well worth it for a warm bun straight out of the oven in which to put your burger. Although this recipe makes two [...]
Potato wedges, chips, fries...whatever you want to call them they are always a winner. I prefer mine to be crispy on the outside but still soft in the middle for that perfect potato wedge goodness. These wedges are marinated in a soy, dark brown sugar and garlic dressing and then baked low and slow to [...]
After being giving a glut of homegrown cooking apples from my mother recently I embarked on cooking them all! First up was this recipe for apple cake but with a twist, an autumnal classic that pairs perfectly with a good book and snuggling on the sofa. To jazz it up a little I added maple [...]
A perfect dish to share with friends in the last of the summer sun we are having. Zatar and cumin work so well together with the cauliflower to bring a complex level of flavour. Pair it with the fresh and slightly spicy puree it really is a winner! Serve with flatbreads and a side salad [...]
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 [...]
