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'd seen a few people making homemade sweet potato gnocchi but I've always thought there is no way this is not going to be fiddly! Now I realise how completely wrong I was!
