↓ Jump to the recipe! Banana bread seems to have become the baked good of choice during lock-down. It's something you don't tend to be able to buy in supermarkets or bakeries, so is perfect if you want to leave people in no doubt that you have gone to the effort of making it yourself. … Continue reading Cardamom and Coconut Banana Bread (Vegan, Gluten-free option, Nut-free, Soya-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! The first time I tried these pillowy delights I had prepared myself for disappointment – I couldn't imagine that these little cloud-like pockets could be as buoyant and satisfying to eat as they looked. How happy I was to be wrong. These soft and chewy buns are everything you want … Continue reading Bao with Smoked Tofu and Kimchi Mayo (Vegan, Nut-free option)
↓ Jump to the recipe! I have a dangerous weakness for cookies. It is disconcertingly easy to make a batch one afternoon and have nothing left to show for it the next day. But yet, like flowers, their fleeting existence doesn't take away from their beauty, if anything it makes you more grateful that they … Continue reading Chocolate and Hazelnut Oatmeal Cookies (Vegan, Gluten-free, Soya-free)
This punchy, spicy, salty, and sour fermented pickle is a beloved staple in its native Korea, and it's not difficult to see why. It's like nothing you've tasted before, and it doesn't take many mouthfuls to become ever so slightly addicted. Traditional kimchi recipes contain various ingredients that aren't always easy to get hold of … Continue reading Really Easy Vegan Kimchi (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free, Soya-free, Nut-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! One of the (many) challenges of being part of my family is the range of dietary requirements. We've got vegans, wheat allergies, even caffeine-and-chocolate-induced migraine sufferers so finding a cake that can be enjoyed by everyone is no small task. Over the years we have worked our way through a … Continue reading Mango and Coconut Yogurt Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free, Soya-free)
Years ago, after finishing my degree, a few friends and I went to the beautiful French island of Île de Ré to decompress (a.k.a drink lots of wine). I was vegetarian at the time, and in almost every cafe or restaurant we went to, there was essentially one option for me on the menu; these enormous, … Continue reading Vegan Buckwheat Galettes with Tofu Scramble (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! It was my birthday a few weeks ago and, despite my family being more than capable of making a decent cake, I insisted on making my own (I really like making cake so it was essentially a birthday present to myself). I had been dreaming of black forest gateau for … Continue reading Vegan Black Forest Gateau (Vegan, Soya-free, Nut-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! If you like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain, then this is the perfect British BBQ treat.

↓ Jump to the recipe! While burger buns and finger rolls are mainstays in the BBQ repertoire, flat-breads are seen far less often, despite the joy of being able to eat them whilst still warm, fresh from the grill. You can cook these on the hob in a frying or griddle pan, but there's something … Continue reading BBQ Flat-breads (Vegan, Soya-free, Nut-free)
For a long time I considered vegetable BBQ skewers to be very much an accompaniment to a more substantial main event, such as vegan burgers or sausages, but these skewers are more than worthy of center-stage. A gloriously red, spice-packed marinade slathered over tofu, peppers and onions and seared over a BBQ, to create a … Continue reading Tandoori Tofu BBQ Skewers (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free)
