Vegan & Gluten-free Christmas Gingerbread Cake

Vegan & Gluten-free Christmas Gingerbread Cake

Vegan & Gluten-free Christmas Gingerbread Cake Just under two weeks until Christmas (woohoo!). Can you believe how fast time is flying? It doesn’t feel that long ago when we were about to welcome 2017, and look at us now. The year is almost over and we’ll soon be welcoming 2018! Crazy! I’ve created something really special to help you celebrate Christmas in style! A gingerbread cake topped with whipped coconut cream and decorated with gingerbread Christmas trees and stars. A really simple and easy to follow recipe that looks super festive and so impressive! A lot of people put so much time and effort into making the Christmas dinner that dessert often gets neglected. I know you can easily buy [...]

Coffee Vanilla Tarts (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Coffee Vanilla Tarts (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Coffee Vanilla Tarts (Vegan & Gluten-free) Creamy mini tarts filled with coffee and vanilla flavoured cream. A simple recipe that calls for few ingredients, but results in something so delicious and aesthetically-pleasing! I'm one of those people who probably loves coffee desserts more than actually drinking coffee. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good cup of milky coffee, but there's something special about a coffee dessert. Like chocolate desserts, I like how the bitter taste of the coffee complements the sweetness of a dessert. They're especially delicious during winter months when you need something more rich, comforting and decadent. Although I no longer drink coffee, I still like a good coffee dessert. The only reason I avoid coffee and caffeine in [...]

Chocolate Mint Mousse Pie (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Chocolate Mint Mousse Pie (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Chocolate Mint Mousse Pie I love mint and chocolate. I think that combination is so delicious, especially in the form of a post dinner treat. The chocolate gives the desserts a decadent feel and the mint is just so refreshing after a meal! Recently I posted a mint Oreo recipe where I spoke more about my love for this flavour combination (click here to read more about it)! It made me realise that I haven't really experimented with mint and chocolate much in my recipes before, so now all I want to do is create mint chocolate recipes! So today, I'm sharing with you this, rich, smooth and decadent chocolate mint mousse pie! A simple oaty base with a lush, velvety centre made using only 4 ingredients! You'll find [...]

Homemade Jammie Dodgers (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Homemade Jammie Dodgers (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Homemade Jammie Dodgers (Vegan & Gluten-free) One of my favourite indulgent treats is Jammie Dodgers! If you don't live in the UK you may have never heard of these fun titled biscuits (also known as cookies in other parts of the world!). They're a popular British treat made up of two shortbread biscuits with a layer of strawberry jam sandwiched in between. I really do love their name. They sound so mischievous and naughty. If cookies got together, Jammie Dodgers would be the ones that want to cause havoc and mayhem, but in reality when you see them, they look the absolute opposite of that. They're so cute and innocent with a heart cut out in the middle, a sweet fruity centre and [...]

Tofu Katsu Curry (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Tofu Katsu Curry (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Tofu Katsu Curry (Vegan & Gluten-free) Fridays are usually our treat (some might call it cheat) days. I usually make something more 'takeaway like' rather than my usually healthy salads, quinoa, buckwheat pasta, tofu and roasted vegetables. We usually follow that with a movie, some popcorn and these quinoa & kale puffs that we're obsessed with! They're not the healthiest, but definitely healthier than regular crisps and eating them on a Friday night after a hard week of work has become a bit of a tradition for the hubby and I! Today, I'm making a dish that I usually order when I go to Japanese/Asian restaurants - Katsu curry! If you've never tried katsu curry then you're seriously missing out! [...]

Plum Blueberry Galette (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Plum Blueberry Galette (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Plum Blueberry Galette (Vegan & Gluten-free) The weekend is finally here! It's been a long and tiring week, and even though I'll still be working today and tomorrow, I love the calmness that comes with the weekend. Especially Saturdays! It's a chance for me to reflect on the week that's gone and a chance to work out what I need to do for the week ahead. And I love not having to worry about responding to a ton of emails or getting back to clients until Monday. It just feels so much more relaxed. Yesterday was my first day back at college. Some of you may already know that I enrolled into a Nutrition course (click here to find out more) [...]

Mint Moringa Oreos (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Mint Moringa Oreos (Vegan & Gluten-free)

A delicious, creamy & rich mint moringa filling between two crunchy chocolate cookies. Mint Moringa Oreos (Vegan & Gluten-free) I have made a raw version of Oreos in the past, but today I'm showing you how to make baked Oreo cookies filled with a refreshing mint and moringa filling. They're gluten-free and completely plant-based. Mint and chocolate is such a delicious combination. In fact, my favourite chocolate flavour is mint dark chocolate. I usually have a square or two after dinner if I don't have any homemade treats lying around. Yes, I don't always have an abundance of homemade treats in my house at all times ? Shocker, right? Even the hubby enjoyed these mint moringa Oreos and he's not at all [...]

They're high in fibre with a hidden ingredient and sweetened with whole dates! OK, I'll put you out of your misery. The secret ingredient in these vegan Oreo brownies is CHICKPEAS!

Plum Hazelnut Porridge

Plum Hazelnut Porridge

Plum Hazelnut Porridge You know it's autumn when your Instagram and Pinterest feed is jam-packed with endless images of pumpkin recipes, Halloween treats and porridge. Lots and lots of porridge! Not that I would ever complain about an abundance of porridge posts. After all I basically live of porridge during the cooler autumn months and definitely once winter kicks in. There is nothing more comforting and satisfying than a bowl of warm oats with a HUGE mug of tea on a chilly morning. It's so much more difficult to get out of bed in the morning when A) it's still pitch black outside B) it's so cold and C) your bed is so lovely and warm! I already struggle getting out of [...]

Vegan & Gluten-free Trifle

Vegan & Gluten-free Trifle

Vegan & Gluten-free Trifle If you're new to the word trifle - it's basically a dessert, or type of pudding, where sponge cake and fruit are layered in a special wide trifle serving dish with custard and jelly. It's usually topped with lots and lots of whipped cream. I know it doesn't sound super healthy, but you can imagine how delicious that combination is, can't you? A spoonful of cake, fruit, custard, jelly and cream all in one mouthful? Genius! Before we move on any further, I have a confession to make. I don't think I've actually ever tried a trifle before. It's such a quintessential British dessert, so I feel it's a big deal that I've never tired it! [...]
