I love a super easy, gluten free vegan curry. The bonus with this very easy, one pot Butternut Squash and Chickpea Curry is there is no added oil or fat.

Gluten free, vegan Chilli Sin Carne can be as ‘hot’ as you dare. When I was at university we were regularly served ‘Vegetable Con Carne’ which was vegetarian – there was a misunderstanding of the Spanish language there – but we knew what it meant. […]

Cranberry Mojito is pretty damned Christmassy (even though cranberries don’t grow in the UK and it is a really recently thing that cranberries are eaten here… No different to oranges I guess!) It is probably the jewel like red colour of cranberries and their juice […]

These gluten free, vegan Mini Christmas Mince Pies are perfect for munching on over the festive season or as canapes if you have guests round. They are very easy but look fabulously sophisticated. The use of ready made mincemeat and ready to roll icing makes […]

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 […]

Vegan Toffee Apples are a special autumn treat. I used to LOVE toffee apples around Halloween and Bonfire Night. We really weren’t allowed them at any other time. There is no way to make these healthy so just enjoy them the way they are – […]
