Chickpea Cookie Dough Balls

I'm a huge fan of the idea of adding beans, lentils and pulses into sweet treats. They bump up the fibre, mineral and vitamin content while giving desserts a lovely moist texture. It also means you don't need to add as much flour or even cut it out completely! Beans & pulses are so underrated, under-consumed and unappreciated. They're such an amazing source of nutrients, protein and fibre and yet as a nation we hardly ever eat them! Baked beans are probably the only exception but they come with added salt and sugar and to be fair there is only so much you can do with them. On toast, on baked potatoes or on the side of a fry up.  Beans and pulses are [...]

2-Ingredient Chocolate Chickpea Bark

This 2-ingredient chocolate chickpea bark makes a great snack or healthy post meal treat! I have yet another super simple, few ingredient treat for you that's ready in no time and requires minimal effort and washing up to do after. My partner bought me some chocolate chickpeas a couple of weeks ago and that inspired me to make my own at home. It was such a simple concept and I thought it would be so much cheaper to make my own at home and they're really easy to make too. All you have to do is roast the chickpeas in the oven for 35-40 minutes until nice and crunchy, then mix them in chocolate while still hot so they melt [...]

Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Hummus

A slightly different take on the traditional Middle Eastern dip. This anti-inflammatory turmeric hummus is an easy way to get some extra goodness into your body, especially when served with a side of fresh vegetables! Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is shown to have potential anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. I use turmeric in many of my recipes and it's always one of the main ingredients in my curries. I also add it to soups, smoothies and I even use it to make a warming golden latte. Supporting our immune system is more important than ever now that we’re all trying to get back to some sort of normality. Kids are back in school and more [...]

Pan-fried Maple Soy Tofu

A delicious Asian inspired meal that's vegan and packed with protein - this pan-fried maple soy tofu dish is also easy to make and bursting with flavour! It's safe to say that my sweet recipes are a lot more popular on here and on Instagram compared to my savoury recipes, which means I gravitate towards making more sweet treats because I know that's what you all enjoy the most. I do however want to start making more savoury dishes as I also love cooking main meals and experimenting with savoury ingredients and flavours. One of my favourite ingredients to include in my meals is tofu, especially when it's served in a delicious sauce packed with flavour like this pan-fried maple [...]
