Gluten-Free, Vegan Parkin is a delicious pudding. Rich, oaty and gingery. It’s the perfect autumnal, stick-to-your-lungs dessert. Gluten-Free, Vegan Parkin is similar to gingerbread but more substantial, from the addition of oats. If you like gingerbread you’ll love parkin. Parkin hales from northern England; Lancashire and Yorkshire to be precise. Both lay claim to it […]

This Chocolate, Hazelnut and Raspberry Torte is amazing. Simple, effective and… no need to put the oven on. It is no bake! Of course, it is… gluten-free and vegan too.

Apple Crumble Bars
Apple Crumble Bars are fabulous ‘snacks on the go’ and great for a packed lunch. Sweet (but not too sweet), cinnamony and crunchy these bars are great (and totally gluten-free and vegan). Apple crumble was (and still is) my favourite dessert as a child. These bars make me feel think of my beloved childhood dessert. […]
Vegan Bonfire Toffee
Vegan Bonfire Toffee is just wonderful. The taste; rich, dark, smoky and sweet takes me back to watching bonfires and truly, truly, awful fireworks.
