Raw Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecake

July 13, 2016.Reading time 3 minutes.

It’s rare to have good consistent weather here in the UK and although normally I have no problem spending time in the kitchen I do find it particularly difficult on sunny days. The beauty about this attractive Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecake is that you can freeze it. I suggest making a couple of them in […]

Chocolate Date and Peanut Fingers

June 17, 2016.Reading time 2 minutes.

We all have those days when we feel a little down in the dumps and it can be difficult to find motivation or even attempt to bake, right? I tend to crave sweet things when I feel tired (and hormonal) and this is one of my ‘go-to’ recipes when I’m feeling a little low. It’s […]

Fruity Almond Pulp Bars

April 21, 2016.Reading time 2 minutes.

If you’re a fan of almond milk or any nut milk, I suggest you consider making your own (if you don’t already) for two reasons. One, its cheaper than buying from the supermarket and two (more importantly) home-made almond milk won’t contain additives such as Locust Bean Gum, Gellan Gum and Sunflower Lecithin that […]

Sugar Free Vegan Mini Easter Eggs

March 24, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

On a recent shopping trip I came across some cute little Easter Egg moulds which gave me the idea of making healthier Easter Eggs that aren’t full of sugar, artificial sweeteners and E numbers. I also thought this would be great for anyone on a dairy-free diet, as it’s cheaper than buying super market dairy-free […]

Mothers Day, Earl Grey Cake with Lemon Frosting

March 4, 2016.Reading time 2 minutes.

The smell of Earl Grey tea reminds me of my Mama, as far back as I can remember it has always been her choice of a tea blend. With this in mind, I thought what better than to bake her an Earl Grey Cake for Mothers day, finished with a light layer of fresh lemon […]

Vegan Pistachio, Fig and Nutmeg Cake

February 5, 2016.Reading time 2 minutes.

This is a lovely tasty simple cake to bake. I have experimented with both fresh and ground nutmeg and both work well but if you really want that aromatic flavour I would suggest using fresh nutmeg. Unfortunately my photographs do not do this cake justice as the pistachios really give it a vibrant burst of […]

Vegan Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies

January 4, 2016.Reading time 3 minutes.

Like many, I overindulged this Christmas. I just couldn’t resist all the wicked desserts and mulled wine! So I am starting 2016 off with plenty of good food choices but I still have cravings for cakes and biscuits! To help with this small inconvenience, I’ve made some delicious sugar free, vegan Peanut Butter and Chocolate […]

Vegan Chocolate Orange and Cranberry Ice Cream Log

December 17, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

I don’t know about you, but for me this time of year always seems hectic. I’m the person rushing around on Christmas Eve in a flap because yet again I am not organised and ultimately Christmas Day could be ruined because of it. If you’re anything like me, then I think you’ll appreciate this recipe […]

Vegan Chocolate and Strawberry Cheesecake Cups

November 11, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

At the weekend it was my Step Fathers birthday, aka The Fat Italian. He gained the nickname from his slightly obsessive relationship with food and has even been known to get hostile at the threat of somebody eating the last piece of rocky road (I still have a bald patch where my hair never grew […]

Wholesome Vegan Breakfast Bakes

November 4, 2015.Reading time 2 minutes.

Cake for breakfast. Sounds a bit weird doesn’t it… but these tasty bakes are free from wheat, contain no animal fats/vegan, completely sugar free and are packed with vegetables (yes, vegetables) that are high in Vitamin A and C. If that’s not a good enough excuse to eat cake for breakfast, then I don’t know what […]
