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 …

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.

Carrot Halwa (GF, DF, Vegan Dessert) This dessert is usually made with lots of cream and sugar but this is a more natural version using almond milk, walnuts and dates. It is a northern Indian dish normally made with red carrots over a couple of days, during the colder months Due to the lack of …
Gluten Free Chia Flatbreads There isn’t a lot of gluten in Indian cuisine apart from breads and since everything can be served with rice, you can just choose to avoid it. I personally like being able to scoop up the sauce with a nice piece of roti or naan and so went on a hunt …
