Za’atar Pitta Chips & Baba Ganoush

Za’atar Pitta Chips & Baba Ganoush

If you've followed me for a while you'll know that I grew up in the Middle East and so the cuisine and the flavours associated with it hold a special place in my heart. There are so many amazing ingredients and tastes that can help brin healthy meals to life without having to use too much of the other ingredients that make food taste good, namely oil, salt and sugar! Za'atar is one ingredient I can't get enough of. It's typically used as a flatbread/Arabic pizza topping, but it's also amazing as a convenient and yummy seasoning for vegetables, meats and dips. The easiest way to enjoy za'atar (a herb mix which you can now find in most major supermarkets!) [...]

Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Pots

Vegan Raspberry Cheesecake Pots

(AD) A delicious dessert that takes no time at all to put together. A simple treat made up of a 2 ingredient base, a creamy cheesecake centre and a berrylicious topping! Served in pots/glasses for ease. I’ve always preferred no-bake cheesecakes to the baked versions as these taste so much lighter and the no baking part means there’s one less thing to do. For me, the easier the recipe the better, especially when it comes to making desserts. Now that so many of us are spending more time cooking our main meals at home, a lot of us are in search for quick and easy treats that call for few ingredients and little washing up afterwards. Serving these delicious Vegan [...]

Chickpea Cookie Dough Balls

Chickpea Cookie Dough Balls

I'm a huge fan of the idea of adding beans, lentils and pulses into sweet treats. They bump up the fibre, mineral and vitamin content while giving desserts a lovely moist texture. It also means you don't need to add as much flour or even cut it out completely! Beans & pulses are so underrated, under-consumed and unappreciated. They're such an amazing source of nutrients, protein and fibre and yet as a nation we hardly ever eat them! Baked beans are probably the only exception but they come with added salt and sugar and to be fair there is only so much you can do with them. On toast, on baked potatoes or on the side of a fry up. Beans and pulses are [...]

Festive Gingerbread Bundt Cake

Festive Gingerbread Bundt Cake

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* Only a week left before Christmas! If you’re looking for a last-minute festive treat that’s both gluten-free and vegan (and delicious!), then you have to try this festive gingerbread bundt cake! One of the best things about Christmas is all the yummy baked goods. What better excuse to bake than Christmas? And for me, when I think about festive desserts, the first one that comes to mind is gingerbread! Those warming and aromatic spices fill the house with so much festivity and cheer. Typically gingerbread is made in the form of cookies or gingerbread men (I actually shared my take on gingerbread cookies, which you can find here), but I wanted to incorporate it [...]

Festive Orange Cranberry Banana Bread

Festive Orange Cranberry Banana Bread

*This post is sponsored by FREEE* You can’t beat a good slice of banana bread – it never fails to impress, but only when it’s rich, moist and packed with yummy flavours, like this festive orange cranberry banana bread is. Even though I’m a HUGE banana bread fan, I somehow managed not to make one throughout both lockdowns when everyone else was going banana bread mad! I’ve recently been craving a moist slice of sweet banana bread though, so decided to make a festive version seeing that Christmas is only 2 weeks away! ? This banana bread is completely gluten-free and vegan. I used a mixture of FREEE Gluten-Free Plain White Flour and ground almonds to give it that moist [...]

Vegan Chocolate Brownies

Vegan Chocolate Brownies

(AD) Super decadent brownies that are completely plant-based! If you’re looking for a yummy, sweet treat, you NEED these vegan chocolate brownies in your life! To me, brownies have to be fudgy, dense and gooey. Cakey brownies just don’t cut it for me. They have to be rich and chocolatey like these vegan chocolate brownies. You can get creative and make it your own by adding things like chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips or even drizzle nut butter on top of the batter before baking to create a swirl effect! Nestlé has recently launched a new vegan condensed milk alternative to their iconic Carnation range and I’m collaborating with them to show how it’s such a fun and versatile [...]
