Spicy Aromatic Lentil Soup is a favourite of mine when I am feeling slightly under the weather. Curling up with a bowl of this gluten-free, vegan soup in front of the tele(vision) is an instantly pick-me-up. It’s nutritious, hearty, warming and comforting. The soup is lightly spiced and the flavour is fragrant. The cloves and […]
Soups and Starters
Roasted Squash Soup
Roasted Squash Soup is a gluten-free, vegan winter treat. Thick, warming and delicious it has a depth of flavour from the roasting that you just don’t get from boiled squash soup.

Carrot and Lemon Soup
Carrot and Lemon Soup is early summer in a bowl. It is gluten-free and vegan and light, full of flavour and makes seasonal produce sing. I have to confess I am not a fan of cooked carrots – they are often way too sweet for me and unfortunately remind me of school dinners I refused […]
Salt and Pepper Tofu
Salt and Pepper Tofu is a fabulous gluten-free, vegan starter or side. Great to share and just wonderful to eat. Before I became gluten-free I used to regularly (sometimes more than once a week) go to a Vietnamese restaurant near where I used to live. I had Salt and Pepper Tofu almost every time. I […]
