By , May 12, 2018

Roasted Romanesco with Garlic, Sage Crumbs (GF, DF) This is a stunning dish, fragrant, tasty, textured and healthy I have a lot of fun cooking vegetables as sides to my southern Italian in-laws dishes. I can not make what would be perceived as a main dish, as it would be seen as disrespectful, even in

Spinach Paneer (GF) The word Paneer is of Persian origin and is used to refer to any type of cheese. Paneer is normally homemade by Indian families, boiling whole milk and adding some lemon juice.

Vegan Jerky

By , March 10, 2018

Vegan Jerky Mushrooms are powerful sources of antioxidants and phytochemicals, best harnessed through eating a mix of raw and cooked mushrooms. This is a great version to use as a snack or put on a pizza or salad I decided to make these after seeing vegan jerky in the supermarket being sold for 12.99. With

Mushroom Pate (Raw, Vegan, GF)

By , February 24, 2018

Mushroom Pate (Raw, Vegan, GF) This is a lovely starter/canapé. It has a silky texture and earthy tone from the walnuts and mushrooms so your carnivorous guests will think it is made of liver, whilst your herbivore guests will lap it up for exactly the opposite reason.

Baingan Bharta (Eggplant, Onion and Tomato Curry) (GF, V) This is a beautifully smoky dish, with the smokiness coming from the quick charring of the eggplant in the pot. There is a similar dish in Greece and Italy, with different seasoning, in both of those it is eaten cold. This dish can be served hot or

Easy Delicious Mango Chutney (V,GF)

Easy, Delicious Mango Chutney (Vegan, Gluten Free) I love Mango, to me it tastes like nectar from the gods and I honestly prefer it to candy. Whilst I have always been a fan of the mix of sweet and salty, fruit in savoury recipes just doesn’t work for me. I do however think, fruit and
