‘Creativity is a way to share your soul with the world’ This is my healthy vegan version of Amanda Cohen’s popcorn beets, which have been deemed better than popcorn shrimp by the food critics. Mr. B loves popcorn shrimp, so although I haven’t tried Cohen’s dish, I was inspired to make my own version and …
This recipe is a transitional dish. It is so satisfyingly wholesome and comforting, that it is a virtual hug in a bowl on a cold day. It is also so vibrant both in color and taste and so is a reminder that spring is on its way. After a few months of darkness and cold, our …
I love making gluten free savoury pancakes as they are easy to whip together quickly in the evening and you can fill them with whatever you want, so they are a good way to use leftovers (my granny taught me well) as well as allowing you to change the dish every time you make it …
Working a 12 hour day, trying to keep fit and making all three meals from scratch every day can sometimes feel a little challenging and it is tempting to let the healthy meal part slip and get on the phone to your fastest take-away. That is why weekend prep and meals that you can prep …
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 …

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 …
This is a sumptuous week day dinner that is light and refreshing and full of vitamins, super foods and protein. It takes 10 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook, so is easy when you need to eat something comforting with substance but not stodge. Its gluten, lactose, soya, nut and meat free and …
This recipe was a request from my beautiful cousin Melanie-Jane who was born in Africa, Zambia and spent the early days of her childhood with my Grandma. She remembered this as a dip that my grandma would serve with Samosa’s and Pakora’s. Samosa’s are little parcels of joy and my grandma’s version were practically famous …
This is an old colonial dish, said to have been created as a mix of kitcherie, a classic Indian dish of rice and legumes and a Scottish addition through smoked haddock.
