Cauliflower, Almond and Nutmeg Soup brings together three wonderful flavours that work so well together. I adore this gluten-free, vegan winter soup. It just makes sense! Rich, warming, smooth and full of winter goodness. Perfect for lunch, dinner and even fancy enough for a dinner […]

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 […]

Gluten-Free, Vegan Haggis Wellington is one of my favourite meals. Great for a special Sunday roast, a celebration meal or any special occasion. It does take a little bit of preparation but it is well worth it! You can also eat this cold. It is […]

Carrots and parsley and butter beans are the perfect match in this soup. Carrot, Parsley and Butter Bean Soup is light, full of flavour and makes seasonal produce sing from the rooftops. I have to confess I was (and still am sometimes) not a fan […]

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. It is super decadent and super rich but sometimes you need a treat or maybe […]

Mulled Cider is perfect for cold winter evenings when you want something to get you in the spirit of a party or celebration. Less alcoholic than mulled wine this is the perfect option when you have lots of guests. If you are serving Mulled Cider […]

Roasted Winter Vegetables with Almonds and Olives are a welcome change the usual ‘roasted vegetables’ you often get offered. The addition of the olives and almonds adds flavour, texture, freshness and depth to a normally pretty dull gluten-free, vegan dish. Flaked almonds have a crunch […]

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 […]

Gluten-free, vegan Mushroom and Chestnut Pot Pie is so rich, easy and delicious you will be eating it at least once a week. The red wine gravy has a deep, rich flavour which perfectly complements the mushrooms and chestnuts. I serve this with grilled broccoli […]

These Gluten-Free Vegan Spicy Singapore Noodles are also oil-free and low FODMAP. They’re the perfect Friday night meal. They’re incredibly quick to prepare, warming from the chilli, packed with protein and very satisfying.

Mushroom and Winter Vegetable Bourguignon is a wonderful warming and hearty winter supper. Perfect for cold nights and short days. Bourguignon traditionally is a stew prepared with beef braised in red wine (usually red Burgundy) and beef broth, generally flavoured with garlic, onions and a […]

Rich Mushroom And Lentil Stew Over Creamy Mash is a wonderful, warming, hearty supper. Perfect for cold nights and shorter days. I love this dish served in a bowl with me wrapped in a blanket, sat in front of a roaring fire. The use of […]

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 – […]

Tofish and Chips is de rigueur at the moment. Tofish and Chips = gluten-free vegan fish and chips, the easiest and best gluten-free vegan alternative to your favourite take-away. With this super-easy recipe there is no faffing with pressing tofu (you never need to so that) and there is no deep frying. Revel in your very own tasty fakeaway.

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 […]

Vegan Bonfire Toffee is just wonderful. The taste; rich, dark, smoky and sweet takes me back to watching bonfires and truly, truly, awful fireworks. Vegan Bonfire Toffee has a taste, that is so specific to one time of year, it’s hard to eat without wanting […]

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 […]

Gluten-Free, Vegan Pho is amazing!!! Pho is super popular at the moment – and rightly so. Pho is wonderful, comforting, tasty and perfect for autumn. Much of the Pho available in restaurants isn’t Gluten-Free and/ or Vegan or you just can’t be sure so I […]

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. Roasting is the only way to go. You really must keep the seeds too. […]

Sauerkraut love!!! Naturally gluten-free and vegan Sauerkraut is all about the seasonal, the preserving, and ultimately, the taste. Sauerkraut is a lacto-fermented vegetable and has a wonderful taste that is hard to describe; tangy, umami, earthy, light and only slightly salty. Much underused, mocked and […]
