Chocolate Covered Tahini Cookies

Chocolate Covered Tahini Cookies

Crunchy sweet cookies dipped in dark chocolate...I can't imagine anything better than these chocolate covered tahini cookies! There is no question in my mind that crunchy cookies (aka biscuits as we refer to them here in the UK) always win over soft ones as far as I'm concerned. There is just something so so SO satisfying about digging your teeth into a hard cookie and hearing that crunch. So good! What makes a cookie even better is dipping it in chocolate. It takes it to a whole new level and makes something delicious even more so! I used my tahini cardamom cookie recipe, used a smaller cookie cutter, dipped it in chocolate and drizzled some more tahini on top for [...]

Pan-fried Maple Soy Tofu

Pan-fried Maple Soy Tofu

A delicious Asian inspired meal that's vegan and packed with protein - this pan-fried maple soy tofu dish is also easy to make and bursting with flavour! It's safe to say that my sweet recipes are a lot more popular on here and on Instagram compared to my savoury recipes, which means I gravitate towards making more sweet treats because I know that's what you all enjoy the most. I do however want to start making more savoury dishes as I also love cooking main meals and experimenting with savoury ingredients and flavours. One of my favourite ingredients to include in my meals is tofu, especially when it's served in a delicious sauce packed with flavour like this pan-fried maple [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Raspberry Oat Bars

Delicious oaty and fruity treats that are super easy to make. These vegan gluten-free raspberry oat bars are the perfect treat for summer! These bars make a great snack or a healthier dessert, but they can also be enjoyed for breakfast if you're in a hurry and don't have time to put something together.

The raspberries along with the lemon give these bars a zingy, tart flavour that makes them feel so refreshing and summery. You can substitute some of the sugar for stevia if you want to reduce the sugar content, but [...]

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Protein Bars

Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Protein Bars

* This post is sponsored by The Protein Works* A yummy post-workout snack that tastes like a dessert! These vegan salted caramel chocolate protein bars are no-bake and really easy to put together! Sometimes I love to snack on protein bars instead of a dessert to try to bump up my protein intake in between meals. Especially on days where I haven't been able to prepare/eat well rounded meals and feel my protein intake has been on the low side. I used to regularly stock up vegan protein bars to have in my cupboard for a rainy day or to take with me on the go, but they can be really expensive, especially considering how easy they are to make [...]

Vegan Grilled Peach Sundae

Vegan Grilled Peach Sundae

It's safe to assume that this summer has seen more garden BBQs than ever before! Since the lockdown meant most of us were unable to make the most of the beautiful sunny days we've been experiencing throughout the last few months, more and more of us have chosen to make the most of the weather by pulling out the BBQs and enjoying the sunshine with some delicious food in our gardens! Have you ever thought of taking advantage of your BBQ to make a delicious dessert? Grilling fruit is so underrated - it completely changes the taste of the fruit and in this instant gives the peaches the most delicious charred caramelised taste! It brings out the natural sugars in [...]

Protein Cookie Dough Cups

Protein Cookie Dough Cups

* This post is sponsored by Juice Plus+* An easy snack that requires few ingredients and steps - these protein cookie dough cups are no-bake and super tasty! I’ve always loved adding protein powder to my treats and snacks as you can easily bump up the nutrient content. Sweetened protein powders also add lots of flavour without having to add too much sweetener or not needing to add any at all! It’s a great alternative to flour in baking, but I prefer to use it in no-bake recipes as I feel the taste comes through a lot better. I created this recipe using Complete Vanilla Shake by Juice Plus+®, which is completely vegan and dairy-free. High in protein with some healthy [...]

Cornish New Potato and Chickpea Curry

Cornish New Potato and Chickpea Curry

*This post is sponsored by Seasonal Spuds* A super warming curry that’s completely plant based and packed with flavour. This Cornish new potato and chickpea curry is a definite crowd pleaser! Packed with fragrant spices like cinnamon, cardamom and turmeric with a generous helping of chilli to add a real kick. The chilli part can easily be adjusted to meet your heat threshold, of course ;) I can handle some heat, but not too much or I feel it overpowers all the other flavours. But then I have been told that I don’t add enough when I’m making a curry for others, so it really does depend on each individual’s preference. I chucked in some chickpeas for a source of [...]
