I’ve stated before that I’m not a salad sort of person. Meaning I’m not a fan of the stereotypical salads made up of mostly leaves. The ones that so many people seem to think vegans live on. But lettuce and I don’t really get on so when it comes to salads, they’re a no-go. Instea … | Continue reading
Infused waters seem to be the latest trend so I’m jumping on the bandwagon today with my most pretentious “recipe” yet! Rose, Lemon & Strawberry Infused Water. I am always happy to drink plain water but sometimes it’s nice to add a little flavour and if it helps you drink more, e … | Continue reading
I was tempted to call these “Fruit & Nut Flapjacks” because that’s what they taste like but because they’re so healthy, I’ve found them to be the perfect breakfast! These bars are simply made up of a mixture of fruit, nuts & seeds, making them full of fibre, protein and nutritio … | Continue reading
Anyone who’s familiar with my blog (or indeed, my book) knows how obsessed I am with vegan ice cream. I particularly love coconut milk ice cream which is the base for most of these recipes. I’ve chosen the most gorgeous ice creams from some of the best vegan bloggers to share wit … | Continue reading
I’ve never been a big fan of traditional salads. Lettuce and I don’t really get on and I never usually feel quite satisfied after eating a salad for lunch but there are certain exceptions, including this quinoa salad! I think it’s the fact it’s cooked – it’s more of a comforting … | Continue reading
Cherry season is here! And I’m celebrating with my favourite way to use cherries… Black Forest Cake! Or in this case, cupcakes. It’s like a condensed version of Black Forest Gateau and it’s AMAZING. Whether you’re vegan or not, you will love these cherry chocolate cupcakes. They … | Continue reading
My dad isn’t vegan or veggie but me and my mum are so he’s definitely used to veggie meals and he loves them! When I make Sunday roasts, I used to say “and I’ll leave you to make whatever meat you want with it” but lately he just says “I don’t need it – it’s delicious...Read More … | Continue reading
Stuffed peppers are always a welcome option for dinner in my house. They make a really tasty, filling meal but are so healthy and are usually low calorie too! Since Mexican food is one of my favourite cuisines, I decided to stuff these peppers with a bean burrito mixture. Includi … | Continue reading
Recipe testing can be stressful, expensive and very frustrating but when something comes together (be it the first time or the 50th time) there is no better feeling! This was one of those rare occasions where it just worked on the first try and has worked perfectly twice since. I … | Continue reading
I recently bought a new dark tile and couldn’t wait to try it out for food photography, hence these unnecessarily moody shots! I’m usually drawn to light and airy photography (as you might have noticed) but would love to practise my dark & moody shots more so expect to see a few … | Continue reading
I’ve noticed a distinct lack of nutella-ness in my life, lately so I was inspired to create my own recipe with hazelnuts and chocolate, after Froothie sent me their latest powerful blender – the Optimum G.21. As soon as I opened the instruction manual and saw there was a “nut mil … | Continue reading
I have forever been on the lookout for purple sweet potatoes but never seemed to come across them. Until a week ago, when I saw Natalie from Feasting On Fruit’s Purple Power Parfait and WISHED I could find some. Low and behold, the very next day I saw some in my local market! I d … | Continue reading
Sangria weather is here! Sangria is one of my favourite drinks for summer but I don’t normally like to drink a lot of alcohol, it seems to catch up with me far too quickly (I’m a lightweight, basically.) So this is a version I can happily sip on all day and it tastes just as deli … | Continue reading
Who else can’t get enough of tahini? It’s amazing for both sweet and savoury treats! These rice krispie treats combine the smooth, flavourful sesame paste with whole sesame seeds for extra crunch. They are so ridiculously moreish. In fact, I almost ate this entire batch to myself … | Continue reading

It wasn’t that long ago I posted a blueberry muffin recipe but this low-fat version is too good not to share. Plus, you can never have enough blueberry muffins, can you? These are based off my Low Fat Strawberry Muffin recipe, simply replaced with blueberries and added lemon. As … | Continue reading
Just over two years ago, I launched my first ever book – Coconut Milk Ice Cream. I wasn’t vegan at the time, I just loved vegan ice cream! (That’s how good it is) But of course, now that I am vegan, I can appreciate it even more. Writing, testing, photographing and launching a b … | Continue reading
I’m all about that shade of purple. But these aren’t just pretty coloured, they also have the sweetest, most refreshing and moreish taste! This recipe is from my book, ‘Coconut Milk Ice Cream‘ and is one of my dad’s favourites – he often requests them and I don’t blame him :-) T … | Continue reading
I know, it’s not summer yet and I’m posting far too many summery recipes already but I just can’t help myself. After recreating the Tropical Smoothie Bowl from ‘Superfood Breakfasts’ I had a lot of delicious tropical fruits left and I had to make good use of them! So now, even th … | Continue reading
Let me introduce my new favourite pasta dish… or just new favourite dish, in general: Creamy pasta with spinach & nutmeg, topped with cheesy, garlic breadcrumbs. Sounds good, right? It really is. The weather is finally heating up now in the UK but I tend to crave comforting dish … | Continue reading
Plain hummus needs no tampering with, I could happily eat it with a spoon just as it is. But for something a little different and extra special, I’ve added roasted garlic and rosemary to this hummus. It’s beautiful, strong flavour makes it the perfect dip or spread for a picnic o … | Continue reading
What’s better than sweet potato fries? Harissa sweet potato fries, that’s what. These smoky, spicy, sweet chips are not only full of delicious flavour but they are healthy and almost fat-free, to boot! I’m afraid I did “cheat” and used shop-bought harissa paste but perhaps I’ll t … | Continue reading
I’ve had a quite a few comments and messages from readers asking about nut-free recipes. When I first started this blog, I wanted to make recipes that everyone could enjoy and although many of my recipes are nut-free, I never had a dedicated category. Well, I’ve just added a nut- … | Continue reading
A simple, classic dish that really hits the spot. Perfect for when you don’t know what to cook but want something comforting and delicious, fast. I nearly always have tinned tomatoes and pasta in my pantry and it’s a short trip into the garden to pick some fresh basil, so I love … | Continue reading
I had this recipe planned for a while and it’s just a happy coincidence that I’m posting it just before Cinco de Mayo! The actual inspiration behind this post was the topic of fast food alternatives. Ramsay Health are currently running a fantastic campaign on ‘Fast Food Alternati … | Continue reading
May is here! Which means it’s almost summer and I’m wondering where spring went? Did spring even happen? I didn’t notice any spring, here in England. Anyway, there is so much delicious produce to enjoy this month and I’m particularly eager to make the most of asparagus and rhubar … | Continue reading
Carrot & Coriander Soup: A spring essential! My version is fat-free, quick and super duper simple to make. It’s actually embarrassing how easy it is to put together. And it’s even more embarrassing that it’s only 70 calories per serving! Which makes it an absolutely perfect start … | Continue reading
Have you ever wanted to study nutrition, for yourself or career? Healthy eating is a BIG thing right now and so many people are looking to better their health and learn more about food and nutrition. Plus, more people are investing in the help of dieticians and nutritional therap … | Continue reading
This breakfast is something in-between a savoury French toast and scrambled eggs on toast so I wasn’t sure what to call it. “Eggy” toast is the best I could come up with. Anyway, It’s toast, spread with an eggy chickpea flour mixture, grilled with asparagus spears on top and it i … | Continue reading
I’m definitely the kind of person who would enjoy preparing their own picnic food, researching recipes, getting everything prepared a day ahead but it’s not always possible to plan in advance, especially with England’s unpredictable weather. So for spur of the moment picnics, I’v … | Continue reading
I first tried this recipe out with Follow Your Heart’s Vegan “Egg” (which is amazing, by the way) and loved the way it turned out but it occurred to me that a lot of people might not know about or be able to get hold of the vegan egg so I tested it out with...Read More »The post … | Continue reading
DK Books have been bringing out so many lovely healthy new books this year and their latest addition is ‘Superfood Breakfasts‘ by Kate Turner. It’s not a vegan cookbook but many recipes are vegan-friendly and most are easy to convert, such as this beautiful Tropical Smoothie Bowl … | Continue reading
I’m going crazy for strawberries lately and after coming across these adorable retro-style milk bottles, I was inspired to create this Strawberries & Cream smoothie which I was half-tempted to call a Strawberry Milkshake Smoothie because it tastes just like a strawberry milkshake … | Continue reading
I can’t believe I managed to photograph something as late as 5pm in the evening! Usually I have to fit in my photography before 3pm, then the light starts to go but as I write this, a couple of hours later, the sun is still up. It’s lovely! I’m not usually a summer person, at... … | Continue reading
Have you ever tried agar jelly (jello) before? I won’t lie, the texture is not exactly like gelatine. It’s slightly softer and smoother but nonetheless delicious. There are other gelatine-free options out there but I haven’t tried them, personally. I just love the fact that somet … | Continue reading
Demuths is a vegetarian cookery school located in Bath, UK, ran by chef Rachel Demuth. I have been dying to visit this place and take one of their courses! They actually have a dedicated vegan diploma which I would love to take some day. Saving up for it! I was sent a copy of Rac … | Continue reading
