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)
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. Firstly, there are three different shortbread options for the base so whether you are vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, or simply unable to procure your … Continue reading Ultimate Vegan Millionaire’s Shortbread (Vegan, Gluten-free option, Grain-free option)
I can not get enough of south-east Asian food. There is such variety, so many exciting tastes and textures to explore; soft and pillowy bao buns, silky noddles, crunchy pickles bursting with sourness, sticky rice, crispy fried tofu, delicate and yielding dumplings.

Or perhaps some sort … Continue reading A Saucy Chocolate Pudding (Vegan, Gluten-free, Grain-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! This bolognese is an absolute staple in my house. If it's a day when I'm lacking imagination or there's not much in the cupboards then I can normally scrape together enough vegetables from the bottom of the fridge and find some dried lentils somewhere in the cupboard. I often make … Continue reading Lifesaver Lentil Bolognese (Vegan, Gluten-free option, Grain-free option, Nut-free, Soya-free)

↓ Jump to the recipe! These are strange times. I imagine the Covid-19 situation is causing a lot of people to feel anxious or overwhelmed and in need of a little comfort – this is certainly true for me. And while baking might seem like the ideal lock-down activity (indoors, time-consuming, productive, and hopefully with … Continue reading Store-cupboard Blondies (Vegan, Grain free, Gluten free, Soya free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! This recipe is one of those which may look a little messy when put together and is certainly going to be messy to eat but I promise you it's worth the sticky fingers and (in my case) ruining the odd t-shirt. Mexican flavours are some of my absolute favourites and … Continue reading Mexican Tofu Tacos with Charred Sweetcorn Salsa (Vegan, Gluten Free, Nut-free)
↓ Jump to the recipe! Welcome to my first blog post!
