Gluten-free Vegan Chickpea Calzone

Gluten-free Vegan Chickpea Calzone

Gluten-free Vegan Chickpea Calzone Bread, pastries and anything with a crust have always been favourite kind of meals. I could happily live on toast (spread with avocado, nut butter, jam...etc), sandwiches (with different fillings) or pizza in all forms! I've always had a love hate relationship with things like pies, pastries and pasties because to me, they're some of the most delicious things on earth! But my digestive system was never too keen. When I'm having a bad day, I don't crave things like stews, curries, pasta...etc, I always want something flour based! When I'm stuck for dinner ideas, my go-to recipe for a while has been my gluten-free chickpea pizza because it's just so easy to make and my stomach doesn't give me a hard time [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Lemon Cake

Vegan Gluten-free Lemon Cake

Vegan Gluten-free Lemon Cake I've been posting way too many chocolate recipes recently, and even though I could never get fed up of chocolate, I realise that you might! It was about time I share a recipe with 0% chocolate, like this zingy, zesty vegan gluten-free lemon cake. Spring is the perfect time for making citrusy light treats. I've been meaning to create a lemon cake for a while now and it's taken me a few trials before I found a combination of ingredients that I was completely happy with. Initially, this recipe was going to be a lemon "drizzle" cake, but to get the white drizzle effect that I was looking for I would have had to use a lot of powdered sugar or [...]

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks – Halva & Turkish Delight

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks – Halva & Turkish Delight

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks - Halva & Turkish Delight Both these desserts, halva and turkish delight, have a special place in my heart. I grew up loving, but rarely eating either of them. We only had treats like this when visiting relatives or at special occasions. Not too long ago I made another 'halva' recipe - my Halva overnight oats. As you can probably tell I'm OBSESSED with tahini and tahini flavoured goodies! The Turkish delight we used to get in Iraq was usually pink, with a hint of rose flavour and crunchy pistachios in the middle. I love using funky flavoured milks to pour over my granola (like this and this), chocolate or hazelnut milk is usually my faves but I [...]
