Vegetables in sweet treats can be controversial, but you can’t disagree that carrot cake is close to being heavenly. I have incorporated veggies into some other treats before like my Peanut Butter Chickpea Blondies, but there's nothing like going back to a cosy classic. Carrot cake is the most loved tea time cake for its... Continue Reading →
Coconut and Berry Crumble Bars (vegan and gluten-free)
If the thought of warm fruit and oat crumble drowned in custard doesn’t make you drool I’m not sure what will. Crumble is the ultimate childhood pudding; most of us have memories of it served in primary school at lunchtime, or on the weekend at grandmas house, and whatever memories you may have regarding it...

Tofu Scramble with Garlic Fried Cherry Tomatoes and Kale (vegan and gluten-free)
On a sunshine-filled day, all that you need to complete the perfect equation is a good brunch; I am not one to chose the savory over the sweet option (a true 5-year-old at heart) but if it came down to this tofu scramble and pancakes I'd be in a real predicament. It takes under 10... Continue Reading →
Creamy Avocado Pasta with Roasted Beetroot
From taking a glance at the title this recipe may seem unconventional, or perhaps different to what you are accustomed to. However, don’t let your previous experiences with avocado (I'm thinking the basic avocado toast) put you off incorporating it into other dishes because I can assure you it can work some wonders. It... Continue Reading →
Peanut Butter Chickpea Blondies (vegan, GF and refined sugar-free)
Fudgy. Chewy. Gooey. Hummus has a place in many people’s hearts, whether that is on a warm pita, with carrots or on a sandwich, but chickpeas (the dominant ingredient) not so much. So, when I was munching away at a hummus bagel, I had my light bulb moment; blitz chickpeas (not hummus) into blondies… one... Continue Reading →
As a Vegan: Friendships
This is a broad subject, but not as broad as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s shoulders, and so I deem it manageable. Friendships are the essence of life, said someone some time ago. Friendships are difficult as f*ck, said I, every day of my life. Without the whole plant-based label they are difficult enough but I... Continue Reading →
Raw Millionaires Shortbread (vegan)
Being vegan means giving up all comfort food, boycotting sugar and chocolate, and never eating a treat again. False! This myth is only that, a myth. These millionaire shortbreads are 100% plant-based, indulgent, satisfying and healthy; that's right, plants are more edible than people assume. A crumbly oat and coconut base, followed by a layer...

6 Ways To Fall In Love With Yourself All Over Again
This is a hot topic on my blog, simply because I am a real advocate for self-love and understanding one's self-worth, however, I’ve been struck by the recent uprise in the negative self-talk which is what has led to the crafting of this post. Last week I was talking to some friends (shout out to... Continue Reading →
Raw Chocolate Brownies
The recipe for these brownies was a complete accident, but one that I am very grateful for, it went a little like this: I didn't have enough dates or almonds to make energy balls, I only had a handful of hazelnuts which also weren't enough on their own, and a couple of tablespoons of raisins that I...

As a Vegan: Travelling
Being vegan is the best thing I’ve done. True. Being vegan makes me feel great. Also true. Being vegan is always easy and super accessible. Not always as true as I'd like. When at home, and in a comfortable radius of it (my known and safe territory) eating plant-based could not be anymore enjoyable and... Continue Reading →
