Vegan Cashew Cheese Sauce (Gluten Free, Vegan)

By , March 6, 2022

‘Just say cheese’ When I turned to vegetarianism at the tender age of 13, one of the things I missed most was my mum’s roast lamb. She would make it at Christmas, Easter and on request for special occasions. One of the things that made up for giving this up was to get extra portions

Breakfast Oat Cookies (Gluten Free, High Protein, Vegan)

By , February 19, 2022

‘It’s much harder to be sad, when eating a cookie’ I love these cookies, as they take 5 minutes to make and 10 minutes to bake. They are great for kids, with the sweetness coming from the banana, protein from the nut/seed butter and great fibre from the oats. They are pretty much the equivalent

Black Rice Porridge (Gluten Free, Vegan)

By , February 12, 2022

‘Man’s mind once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions’ I love it when a recipe expands and changes your perspective. Amy Chaplin’s Book, Whole Cooking Every Day is great for this, as she is taking your every-day items, like porridge and creating new varieties of them, keeping your chef mind and

Ginger, Sesame and Pepper Granola (Gluten Free, Vegan)

By , January 22, 2022

‘If you only master one spice in your life, master pepper, it has more power to transform a dish than any other’ I am not a big chilli eater, but I am a fan of spice. So often these two are mixed up. People say to me in earnest, I can’t eat Indian food as

Grain Free Bircher Muesli (Gluten Free, Vegan)

By , January 8, 2022

‘One kind word can warm three winter months’ This is a beautiful recipe for the winter. It is grounding due to the seed and nuts being used in place of grains and can be eaten warm or cold. It is rich in protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. It is a great recipe to batch, with

Chocolate Almond Cream Pie (Gluten Free, Vegan)

By , January 2, 2022

‘A new year means a new chapter. I hope 2022 is an incredible part of your story’. ‘I didn’t hear the question, but the answer is chocolate’ sounds like a Mr B quote! This was a gift for him as a count-down to new year. I made the pie and some extra chocolate mousse and

Breakfast Oatmeal Cake (Gluten Free, Vegan)

By , December 18, 2021

This is a great recipe, as it is a breakfast that tastes like chocolate cake. In fact, I would go as far as to say you could serve it as a dessert at a dinner party.  If you follow my blog, you’ll know that I am a big fan of oats. In my recipes you’ll

Almond Fudge (Badam Burfi)

By , December 4, 2021

‘Indian sweets are there by your side, to celebrate you in every occasion’ This is a rare sweet/mithai that doesn’t have diary in it. My grandma would make it and keep it in the fridge for puja and snacking. It is basically almonds and sugar and so great for breaking a religious fast.  Yield: 8-inch

Kofta Curry (Vegan, Gluten Free)

By , November 27, 2021

‘Indian food touches your soul before it touches your taste buds’  This was another Sunday lunch special. It is a deeply spiced dish with a luscious and luxurious gravy to be scooped up with hot buttered roti. I used vegan mince here, it works well with beyond meat versus soya for this as it holds

Green/Methi/Fenugreek Chapati

By , November 20, 2021

‘You don’t need a silver fork, to eat good food’ This is a dish that we loved as kids, a grab and go from the chapati tin, similar to how a kid from the USA would use a cookie jar. We also used to take them on picnics and when we travelled, much like the
