Okra Pakora (GF, Vegan) My grandma used to make Pakoras all the time. Here classics were potato, bread with chutney in the middle and chilli (which Mr B would eat till his eyes watered). She also used to make pakoras to use up the leftovers, as she hated waste, so we would get spinach or …
‘I realized very early the power of food to evoke memory, to bring people together, to transport you to other places, and I wanted to be a part of that’ Jose Andres Puerta I recently spent some time in Puglia in the south of Italy, the birthplace of Mr. B’s parents. The Apulian people are …
I was looking for something to serve as a vegan main course and found this beautiful dish from the English book, Hemsley and Hemsley, the art of healthy living. It’s a whole cauliflower so when you serve it, you need to cut it like a steak. Your guests will be impressed, but more so when …
I have had this recipe percolating in the back of my mind since my visit to New Orleans. I went to a restaurant called Upperline in the Garden District, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and had the most wonderful meal. The owner’s aim with Upperline is to restore the original meaning …
I saw this on the plant based pixie blog and just couldn’t resist making my own version. Such a fun idea for Christmas and although a little fiddly, totally worth it for the awe and wonder from your guests when they see their plate. I decided to adapt this recipe to make it an all …

The picture you take of this will be as vibrant as the combination of flavors. I love watermelon radishes and you would have seen them featured on the blog before. They are electrifying to the eye, and whilst there retain that vibrant peppery taste that all radishes do, they are a little more subtle than …
This must be the easiest recipe yet. Its super sweet and creamy and feels indulgent when all you are eating is a bowl of fruit, making this ice cream suitable as a desert but also a breakfast (and a good way of fooling your kids into eating something healthy…). Once you have tried this once …
This recipe has gluten, dairy and a lot of love. It is a deviation from my normal recipes, purely because the local supermarket had run out of pumpkin pie the night before thanksgiving and Mr B really loves pumpkin pie. We could have gone to the supermarket on thanksgiving, but it has been our mini …
I’ve seen these delightful morsels all over instagram and wondered if you could really get the same moreish taste into a cauliflower as a you can a bowl of chicken wings. The answer is categorically yes and with a lot fewer calories. The trick is to make sure you get the same crispy finish and …
