I love experimenting with beans and pulses, especially chickpeas and lentils. Although I do feel that lentils are underrated and aren't given the same attention as their other counterparts. In a previous post I shared my lentil porridge recipe and talked about why I love lentils so much...
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 [...]

I've been eating quite a lot of tofu and I'm really enjoying experimenting with it at the moment. Since I've decided to start cutting back on my meat consumption and to stop cooking it at home, tofu has become a life saver! It's an amazing vegetarian/vegan source of protein and it's quite easy to cook once you know what you're doing.
Freekeh is a green wheat popular in Middle Eastern cuisine that's harvested when the grain is still young. Unlike the 'adult' version of the wheat, Freekeh contains more protein, minerals and fibre. It contains three times as much fibre as brown rice. Why does this make it special? Well a high fibre content means it's digested slowly and has a low GI number. A low GI means it doesn't cause the blood sugar to spike the way rice would. It also means it will make you feel fuller so you don't end up overeating.
