Vegan Custard Tarts (Gluten-free)

Vegan Custard Tarts (Gluten-free)

Vegan Custard Tarts When I started cutting out dairy, one of the many things I stopped eating was custard, and it's one of the many things I really missed! I had no idea how easy it was so make my own, homemade dairy-free version. It's ridiculously easy! AND it tastes just like 'normal' custard. How I wish I tried this recipe months and months ago! I missed out on so much custard goodness! I just realised this paragraph is full of exclamation marks!! Moving on... These vegan custard tarts taste like the 'real thing' and the custard part definitely tastes like the custard I remember and love. Sweet, thick and...vanillary? OK I think I just made that word up but [...]

10 Vegetarian Main Meal Ideas

10 Vegetarian Main Meal Ideas

10 Vegetarian Main Meal Ideas It's international vegetarian day! I have no doubt in my mind that eating less meat and more vegetarian meals is healthier for you, better for the environment and obviously means less animals need to suffer. There is plenty of research out there associating meat with chronic conditions that are on the rise like heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Many don't want to cut down on meat for obvious reasons, one of them being the perception that a meat-free dish is boring and not as tasty, but that's absolutely NOT the case. You just need to find the right recipes and experiment a little to find the flavours and combinations that you like. Here are some [...]

Chocolate Protein Waffles (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Chocolate Protein Waffles (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Weekends are for waffles! On Sunday mornings I make more of an effort to make a special breakfast for the hubby and I since we don't often get the chance to sit together for breakfast during the week. Having a proper relaxed, take-your-time breakfast with loved ones really is one of the best ways to spend a Sunday morning.

Nectarine Crumble (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Nectarine Crumble (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Nectarine Crumble (Vegan & Gluten-free) September marks the beginning of Autumn, shorter days, cooler evenings and comfort food. I can’t think of a better way to welcome this month than with a bowl of warm crumble with a generous serving of cold custard! With the GBBO in full swing (in case you haven’t noticed with all the tweets and facebook posts), everyone is in the mood for baking. Even though we would all like to spend countless hours decorating a cakes or creating patisserie style treats, the reality is that most of us just don’t have much time to bake. If you’re new to baking, have never baked before or you’re looking to bake something that doesn’t require much preparation [...]

Fruity Kombucha Popsicles

Fruity Kombucha Popsicles

We've had a few glorious, hot sunny days here in the UK, but unfortunately it looks like things are set to change on the weekend. I'm pretty sure that will surprise anyone. To make the most of what's left of this gorgeous weather, I made these fruity kombucha popsicles, filled with lots of delicious, juicy in season berries and kiwi for a an extra pop of colour.

Homemade Raspberry Chocolate (Raw/Vegan/Dairy-free) – Video

Homemade Raspberry Chocolate (Raw/Vegan/Dairy-free) – Video

Making your own dairy-free chocolate at home couldn't be easier! All you need is some coconut oil, cocoa powder and some sort of liquid sweetener. I like to add nut butter, especially cashew butter to make it more creamy and delicious :D but it's completely optional. I would however avoid using peanut butter because the taste is just too overpowering.

Vegan Tahini Popsicles

Vegan Tahini Popsicles

Vegan Tahini Popsicles I'm afraid I might be a little late in sharing this recipe since it seems the sun has decided to retire after a couple of weeks of glorious weather! But I'm one of those people who can eat ice cream any time of the year. It always seems like the perfect light and refreshing after dinner dessert. If you haven't noticed already, a lot of my recent recipes have been based around tahini. I just can't get enough of the stuff! And since my Salted Caramel Tahini Cheesecake was such a hit, I just had to create another tahini treat. (and I have a few more on the way!). These vegan tahini popsicles are so creamy, rich and taste so good! Dipped in homemade [...]

Matcha Pinwheel Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Matcha Pinwheel Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Have you noticed that whenever you make 'healthy' cookies, they tend to be soft not crunchy? most healthy cookies I've seen are usually the soft variety, which is fine. I love cookies in any form, but every now and then I do crave a good crunchy cookie (or biscuit as we call it here in the UK!) ...
