Easy Delicious Mango Chutney (V,GF)

By , January 13, 2018

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

Gluten Free Chia Flatbreads

By , December 29, 2017

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

Tempeh Tikka Masala

Tempeh Tikka Masala I believe food can unite people from all walks of life, all cultures, all religions. Food brings compassion and harmony to the table and creates a deeper understanding of each other Although I grew up in my Grandmothers Indian Kitchen, Tikka Masala was not on the menu.

Butternut Squash Carpaccio I found this recipe in a raw vegetable book, in which everything looks more like art than food.

Courgette and Corn Fritters These are a great little snack or starter filled with tasty vegetables. They remind me of my grandma’s Pakora’s but are made with corn flour instead of chickpea flour, both of which are gluten free so we are in luck, either way The wonderful thing about this dish, is the texture,

Sesame Sweet Potatoes

Sesame Sweet Potatoes Umami in Japanese means I will give you my right hand and first-born child for a bite of that! There aren’t many vegan dishes at Zuma, the Japanese Peruvian restaurant in London and now New York, as we found out one Friday night, but the few they have are all delicious and

Black eye beans and almost round chapatti

‘I have been and still am a seeker, but have ceased to question stars and books, and  have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.’ This is one of those classic dishes that granny made for us growing up and was one of my favourites. It seemed so simple on the
