California Walnut, Mushroom & Red Onion Galette

California Walnut, Mushroom & Red Onion Galette

California Walnut, Mushroom & Red Onion Galette A delicious, crumbly vegan and gluten-free pastry with a moreish mushroom filling. This California walnut mushroom and red onion galette is the perfect dinner go-to. It's such an easy dish to whip up on a week night, whether you’re dining for one, or you're looking for a low-key evening in with your partner. I made this galette for dinner and the hubby (a keen meat eater), absolutely loved it! I find mushrooms quite meaty as far as plants go (although I am aware mushrooms aren't technically a plant, but you know what I mean :P), so they are a great ingredient to use as the base for a vegan meal that you want [...]

California Walnut Tomato & Tofu Quiche

California Walnut Tomato & Tofu Quiche

California Walnut Tomato & Tofu Quiche A delicious and filling California walnut tomato & tofu quiche in a crumbly oat & walnut crust topped with beautiful orange, yellow and red baby tomatoes. If you're looking to impress vegans and meat-eaters alike with a scrumptious dish that's completely plant base, you NEED to make this! Now that the weather is getting cooler and the days are becoming shorter, I'm turning to baking for a source of comfort. I've also been inspired to bake more because of the Great British Bake Off. If you're a fan of baking you will most likely be following along and would have seen that last week was the first ever vegan week on the show. It was [...]

Vegan California Walnut Soda Bread

Vegan California Walnut Soda Bread

Vegan California Walnut Soda Bread A delicious vegan California walnut soda bread that goes well with both sweet and savoury meals. An easy and versatile recipe that you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Baking is such a hot topic at the moment since the kickstart of this year's Great British Bake Off. I've always been a huge fan of baking (as well as eating baked treats!), but over the summer I found myself unintentionally leaning towards non-baked recipes and desserts. The heat put me off from wanting to turn the oven on, but now that Autumn is officially here (yay!) and bake off fever is in the air, all I want to do is bake bake bake! :D It's such a good time to [...]

Tandoori Tofu Chickpea Pizza

Tandoori Tofu Chickpea Pizza

Tandoori Tofu Chickpea Pizza I usually make pizza on a Friday or Saturday evening and I know it's only Tuesday, but I spent the whole weekend working and this evening I really feel like having pizza and a movie night with the hubby. Today, I'm making two pizzas; one with cheese (for the hubby) and one without (for myself). I try to avoid dairy as much as I can for several reasons. The main one being it triggers my IBS flare-ups. To my husband's disappointment I usually leave out cheese when I make pizza. He LOVES his cheese and wouldn't consider a pizza "a pizza" without it, although he made an exception with my avocado pizza. I have to agree with [...]

Vegan Avocado Pesto Grilled Cheese

Vegan Avocado Pesto Grilled Cheese

Vegan Avocado Pesto Grilled Cheese A grilled cheese sandwich with a twist. The twist being this vegan avocado pesto grilled cheese toastie is SO MUCH BETTER than a plain cheese toastie. Add avocado to any sandwich and instantly it's ten times better! Especially when paired with pesto and cheese. Since reducing my dairy intake, I haven't really missed cheese all that much. The one thing I hear most from people who cut out dairy from their diet or go vegan is how much they miss cheese. I've never experienced that; however, I do crave a bit of cheese every now and then and this vegan avocado pesto grilled cheese is the ultimate way to satisfy such a craving. As I mentioned in my previous [...]

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry

Easy Coconut Chickpea Curry For me, meals like this easy coconut chickpea curry are such a huge time saver on a busy day. Come evening time I don't usually have the energy to cook, especially if I've been recipe creating or filming earlier that day followed by cleaning and tidying. It can really take it out of me. So I always fall back on quick and easy recipes like this one that doesn't require much time to prepare and uses ingredients I always have available in my pantry. Ingredients like canned chickpeas, canned coconut milk, spices and rice. I use light coconut milk to make it slightly healthier and lighter. The great thing about this curry is that you can adapt it to [...]

Speedy Avocado Pizza (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Speedy Avocado Pizza (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Speedy Avocado Pizza (Vegan & Gluten-free) This avocado pizza is perfect for those evenings when you come home after a long tiring day and just want to throw together something quick, easy and tasty. You'll only need a handful of ingredients. I actually used a shop bought gluten-free pizza base, which you should be able to find in most big supermarkets. It just means you don't have to faff about making a base when you're in a hurry or simply don't have the energy to make one from scratch. If you prefer you can make one of my chickpea pizza bases. It's also really quick and easy to make. You can have it ready in 15 minutes, which is not [...]

Tofu Spaghetti in a Tomato Sauce (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Tofu Spaghetti in a Tomato Sauce (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Tofu Spaghetti in a Tomato Sauce (Vegan & Gluten-free) My love for tofu knows no limits. I think it's such a versatile ingredient and a great one to include in any diet, but especially in a vegetarian/plant-based diet. It's a great source of good quality protein and an easy way to get a good chunk of your recommended calcium, omega-3 and iron daily intake. Also, it tastes sooo good! When seasoned correctly of course. Tofu is seen as such a boring, uninspiring and flavourless ingredient. It's especially boring for a meat eater. Why eat tofu when you can eat chicken, right? But to be fair, my first few experiences of eating tofu were't that great either. Whenever I've had it at [...]

Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers Many of you have been asking me on Instagram to start posting more healthy savoury plant-based meals. You asked and I listened! I know that for many, eating healthy sounds boring and uninspiring. We associate healthy eating with salads, low fat\low calorie ready meals, bars and other packaged foods. The idea of cooking meals from scratch can seem overwhelming and time consuming, but it definitely doesn't have to be. As someone who's both working full time and studying, I need to be able to cook meals that are quick, easy and I try to make sure I get in good protein, complex carbs, healthy fats and plenty of vegetables in there. I also like to batch cook meals so [...]

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free) A delicious, warming and comforting bowl of noodle soup packed with protein and vegetables. Whoever thought of adding noodles to soup is a genius! Two comforting meals merged together can only result in something even more amazing! This Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup is all I've been craving the past couple of days. It really looked like spring was finally in the air and the cold days of winter were behind us, but it seems I spoke too soon! Yesterday and today have felt rather chilli and I have to admit I did resort to turning the heating back on, which I hoped I wouldn't have to do again until next winter. To make [...]
