Vegan Caramel Magnum

Vegan Caramel Magnum If this UK heat isn't a good excuse to make my own homemade version of Magnums, then I don't know what is! Not that I need an excuse to make any form of ice cream. I welcome ice cream any time of the year, but I definitely crave it a lot more when it's scorching hot. So hot that even having a fan facing me at all time doesn't really do much to stop the sweating.  I posted a picture of these vegan caramel Magnums on my Instagram page yesterday as a teaser and I received such an amazing response, so I just had to post them ASAP. As someone commented "it would be rude not to [...]

Strawberry Chocolate S’mores

Strawberry Chocolate S'mores S'mores aren't really a thing here in the UK, but they really should be! Two crunchy biscuits (aka cookies) with a melted marshmallow and melted chocolate. I can't think of anything better :D  I missed out on so many years of toasted marshmallow goodness. I really didn't know what I was missing out on until I tried one for the first time and I was hooked! Really puts the regular, un-toasted marshmallow to shame. And now you can get gelatine-free marshmallows too (yay!!). In celebration of the Royal Wedding, I've created a traditional American recipe with a British twist by adding in some chopped strawberries to give them a 'strawberries and cream' feel. Everyone is in agreement [...]

Chai Hot Chocolate (Vegan & With No Added Sugar)

Chai Hot Chocolate (Vegan & With No Added Sugar) A delicious and warming chai hot chocolate with no dairy and no added sugar!  Have you made any New Year's resolutions? If so were you able to stick to them? I haven't made any as such, but I've been making a conscious effort to cut down on the amount of sugar I consume. A big part of my job consists of creating and experimenting with new recipes, most of which happen to be sweet because they're the kind of recipes you (my lovely blog readers and social media followers) seem to love most! And I'm usually not 100% happy with a recipe unless I've tried it 3-4 times. Sometimes even more! So you can imagine [...]

Tesco Wicked Kitchen Plant-based Meals Review (AD)

Tesco Wicked Kitchen Vegan Meals Review ••WATCH MY VIDEO REVIEW ABOVE•• Have you heard that Tesco have recently released a whole range of plant-based ready meals, sandwiches and wraps? I was so excited when I heard about these products. Finally there are options for us plant-based eaters that are so easily accessible to everyone. I live up north in Manchester and I struggle to find meals and sandwiches that are both meat and dairy-free. Sometimes when I'm out food shopping I like to pick up a couple of pre-prepared meals for those days when I know I'll be too busy to cook a meal. There are also times when I'm out and about and need to grab something quick for lunch and it's [...]

Healthified Vegan Oreo Brownies – Using Go Cook, exclusively for Tesco

Healthified Vegan Oreo Brownies A delicious, moist and rich chocolate brownie topped with chopped Oreos. Need I say more? Oh, apart from they're also healthier than your average brownies. 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! Actually this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise since I've already used chickpeas, beans and lentils before in many of my sweet treats.Tesco challenged me to nominate someone in my household who does the least cooking to create something using their new Go Cook, exclusively for Tesco products. Since it's just me and the hubby and I do all the cooking [...]

Vegan Spicy Mexican Tacos

Vegan Spicy Mexican Tacos Tacos are considered such a treat in my household. They’re really easy to put together, taste delicious and are so filling and satisfying! Our go-to movie night treat. This is my second recipe for the Global Cuisines series in collaboration with GOODMINZ using their fresh minces, which are made completely from plants and with no soy! We kick started the series with my American Style Burgers served with a homemade mayonnaise. Today, we’re moving south of the border and visiting Mexico with this spicy Mexican inspired Taco recipe. GOODMINZ is a new kitchen staple made with fresh and wholesome plant-based ingredients. It comes in four different vibrant colours (green, orange, brown and purple), each with a [...]

Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk

Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk  As some of you may already know, I've been suffering with eczema, IBS, anxiety and low mood for many years (click here to find out more). My immune system seems to be very active and so I have a lot of inflammation in my body. Chronic inflammation is bad news as it's the precursor to many chronic diseases, which is worrying, so I try to eat as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible. Turmeric being one of them.  Turmeric is said to be one of the best natural anti-inflammatory agents out there, definitely something to include in the diet, especially if you have any kind of auto-immune conditions and allergies.  When it comes to making anti-inflammatory golden turmeric milk, there [...]

Black Bean Avocado & Mango Tacos

Black Bean Avocado & Mango Tacos I've always found avocado and mango to be such an excellent combination. The rich texture and buttery taste of the avocado complements the complex sweetness of the mango so well! I usually combine them in salads like I did in my kale, mango and avocado salad.  Another thing that goes well with avocados is beans! I find beans so comforting. There's something about their texture that when you bite into them you know you're giving your body something nourishing without feeling like you're actually eating 'healthy'. Unlike the feeling you get from eating a boring salad. You know it's good for you so you eat it, but it doesn't offer much in terms of the feeling [...]

Vegan Raspberry Bounty Bars

 Vegan Raspberry Bounty Bars Since so many of you loved my Blueberry Bounty Bars I thought I would create another variation and shoot a video this time to show you just how easy they are to make at home!  If you've never heard of bounty bars, they're basically a sweet coconut bar covered with a lush chocolate shell. I believe there is something similar in the US but under the name of 'Almond Joy'? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I have seen many American bloggers making these Almond Joy bars and they seem very similar to Bounty bars minus the almond!  Bounty bars don't come in any other flavour apart from plain old coconut. Again please correct me if I'm [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Rolls

Vegan Gluten-free Cinnamon Rolls Who could resist a good cinnamon roll? Not me!  The first time I tried a cinnamon roll was when I visited Sweden with the hubby to stay with the in-laws. I couldn't believe something so delicious excited! So fluffy, sweet and packed with cinnamon - my favourite spice (actually it's a tie between cinnamon and cardamom) :P  I know you can get cinnamon rolls here in the UK, but the ones I've tried from supermarkets are usually made with puff pastry, which is nothing like the one I tried in Sweden. Also, most recipes seem to include a sugar icing on top which I feel ruins the flavour a little. The sweetness is so overpowering that it's more difficult to [...]
