Crispy Fried Courgettes With A Herby Yogurt Dip (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! I first had deep-fried battered courgettes on holiday in Greece last year and was completely enamored. Summer courgettes can be incredibly sweet and flavoursome, especially in the Mediterranean. The batter was light and perfectly crisp, and they were always served straight out of the deep-fryer. I think we ordered them … Continue reading Crispy Fried Courgettes With A Herby Yogurt Dip (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free)

Mango and Coconut Yogurt Cake (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free, Soya-free)

Vegan Buckwheat Galettes with Tofu Scramble (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-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)
Tandoori Tofu BBQ Skewers (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-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)

Vegan Peanut Butter Banoffee Pie (Gluten-Free Option, Grain-Free Option)
↓ 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)

Ultimate Vegan Millionaire’s Shortbread (Vegan, Gluten-free option, Grain-free option)
I am not usually one for hyperbole (although I did call myself a genius in another blog post so make of that what you will), but this shortbread really is rather great.
