Burns night is coming up at the end of the month and what better excuse to come up with some traditional Scottish food with a vegan twist! But what the hell is Cranachan? Cranachan is a raspberry, cream, oat and whisky pudding which can be eaten to celebrate Burns night. Or any other time you want a sweet and creamy…
If you don’t already have a go to bolognese recipe, this ones for you. Or maybe you do, but you should definitely try it anyway. Made with vegan mince and mushrooms for that meaty texture and cooked in a rich tomatoey red wine sauce. Need I say more? This recipe can easily be made into a chilli too, just add…
Anyone that knows me will know I have a deep love for pesto. I probably eat it way too much but with this oil free pesto that’s healthy like this recipe, I have no regrets. Pesto pasta is of course a favourite (with sweet corn and chilli, mmm) but pesto is so versatile. It’s great on on cheesy toast, in…
I have seen so many chocolate bark pictures on my social media and so I couldn’t resist making some. I’m all about homemade gifts as presents, especially edible ones. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my homemade damson gin that I’m giving my loved ones this year, and some fruity chocolate bark seemed like the perfect accompaniment….
It’s that time of year when I want hot breakfasts, lunches and dinners to keep me warm. It seems to be colder than ever this winter and I can’t leave the house without wearing thermals and two pairs of socks. I must be getting old. I’m all about quick dinners after a day of work which require minimal time spent…
I’m going to show you how easy it is to make delicious, creamy homemade almond milk. So I’ve been meaning to make nut milk for AGES. I bought a nut milk bag from Amazon (this one) and it’s been sitting in the drawer for months. I think the thought of it made me think it was too much effort, but…
Autumn for me is all about warming, hearty dishes that fill your tummy with love. Which is what this butternut and pearl barley soup is all about! Stews, curries, casseroles, pasta and soup! I often forget to make soup (I don’t know why when it’s all over my feed!) but when I do they need to have a lot of…
When I originally posted these tiffins I had a few people ask what they were. I was confused, I thought everyone knew what they were. That’s when I googled it, and I found out they are a British chocolate biscuit cake that originated from Scotland. But clearly they haven’t made it across the pond! They are basically butter, digestive biscuits,…
Nut roasts may be a typical vegetarian dish which is often thought of as bland but what’s not to love? I usually throw a whole load of ingredients in and hope for the best but I’ve made this one a few times now and the flavour combinations just work perfectly. Sun-dried tomatoes can make most dishes go from a 5…
