↓ 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! If you like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain, then this is the perfect British BBQ treat.

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)
↓ Jump to the recipe! Whenever I plan a BBQ, aubergines are the first things I think of – it's generally the only occasion when I will make baba ganoush. A really good baba ganoush requires aubergines that are cooked over a high heat for a long time, such that the skins are blackened almost … Continue reading Smokey BBQ Baba Ganoush (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! If I'm being completely honest, I have never been a fan of banoffee pie. I've always found it overwhelmingly sweet and, despite priding myself on being able to eat impressive amounts of pudding, have never been able to manage more that a few mouthfuls. UNTIL NOW. After I learned how … Continue reading Vegan Peanut Butter Banoffee Pie (Gluten-Free Option, Grain-Free Option)
↓ Jump to the recipe! The idea for these wraps came to me when I was trying to come up with a soft tortilla replacement for a friend who is grain-free. They are really simple to make, only require two ingredients (plus water and a sprinkle of salt), take minutes to whip up, and the … Continue reading Super-soft Grain-free Wraps (Vegan, Gluten-free, Soya-free, Nut-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! I'm struggling to write this blog because I keep looking at pictures of cheesecake and thinking about how I wish I had cheesecake now, and when I can next find an excuse to make cheesecake (Happy Thursday, anyone?). When I first decided to go vegan I assumed that really good … Continue reading Vegan White Chocolate and Blueberry Baked Cheesecake (Gluten-free option)
If anyone ever says salads are boring then clearly they haven't tried this one. If I've had a few days of over-indulgence and am craving vitamins, or if I'm feeling in need of something fresh but packed with flavour, this is my go-to. In one zingy, crunchy, salty, spicy, colourful bowl you can feel like … Continue reading Vegan Bún Chay (Vietnamese Noodle Salad – Gluten-free and Grain-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! There is no time of day when I would not happily devour these fritters. The basic recipe is almost unbelievably simple (to the point where it was almost an anti-climax when I eventually got round to trying them out and it took all of 10 minutes), and with the additional … Continue reading Indian-spiced Sweetcorn Fritters with Raita (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free)
