Delicious. Creative. Honest
Delicious Vegan and Vegetarian recipes that have been tried and tested in my kitchen and given the seal of approval by my omnivorous family.
Super simple yet deliciously satisfying these apple turnovers using puff pastry contain a lot of nostalgia for me. Sweet and crisp stewed apples with a dash of cinnamon (or pumpkin spice) and a handful of sultanas make these hand pies easy to make and easy to devour over and over and over again. A fine reason to keep a packet of ready rolled puff pastry in the freezer at all times.
This apple and blackberry slump is a great, quick and easy after dinner treat. Perfect with a quinelle of freshly whipped cream or ice cream, this is a dessert best eaten steaming hot and straight out of the oven. Here I show you how to make one portion for now and a portion for later or as a freezer meal which is great for when you need something sweet to treat any unexpected house guests.
These sourdough rolls are perfectly sized slider rolls but can easily be used as a dinner roll; they taste fantastic with a knob of butter dipped in your favorite soup or used to soak up the last morsels of a delicious curry. A bit of decadence with the addition of a sprinkling of tasty cheese over the top just prior to baking finishes these rolls of nicely and goes well with the tang of fresh sourdough bread. Unsurprisingly, these do not last long in our household.
This sourdough discard crackers recipe is another sourdough starter recipe that is quick and easy to whip up and out onto the servery. Demonstrated with a plain salt as well as a Za’atar spice blend topping, these crackers are thin and crispy and perfect for your next cheese platter or even just as a quick appetizer or snack.
This recipe for overnight steel cut oats contains apple and dates for sweetness whilst complemented with cinnamon and nutmeg for a great and delicious start to your day. By adding chia seeds, the water ratio differs from standard steel cut oat recipes but gives great health benefits to this breakfast
A sourdough discard recipe for delicious chocolate raspberry biscuits that are soft, fudge-like and full of complex flavours to tempt the interest of your taste buds. Browned butter combined with brown sugar give a welcomed caramelised sweet balance to the tartness of raspberries and the tang of sourdough starter. Admittedly, these biscuits may not be the most elegant or eye pleasing biscuits I’ve made but they sure make up for their ugliness with deliciousness. Addictive and too easy to just keep eating these sourdough discard biscuits are a must try.
These vanilla cupcakes are not only gluten free, they are dairy free vegan and delicious too!

I usually make 12 standard cupcake sized morsels of this recipe but 24 mini muffins could be made with this quantity of mixture too. this post also contains hints and tips on how to prevent your cupcakes from sinking in the middle.
A vegan meatloaf recipe made with chickpeas, loads of vegetables, herbs, spices and a couple of sauces. This is a great tasting vegan meatloaf with no meat which can be made gluten free too. A glaze made from apricot jelly or preserve results in a vegan meatloaf that is delicious and relatively healthy without the fatty taste feel or regular meatloaf.
This chocolate brownie slice is another delectable treat I made for my 5 year old’s birthday party. It is once again food allergy or food intolerance(s) friendly. Gluten free, dairyfree, soy free, vegetarian and deliciously moist! In fact, it can be made paleo too (just check the ingredients of the chocolate chips are paleo too and you can make this recipe paleo). Another awesome feature of this recipe is it is very easy to make especially if you have a stand mixer but you certainly do not need one to successfully make this recipe, just make sure the ingredients are well combined.
A birthday cake of extravagance! this pineapple cake is not only made to look like a pineapple, it is made using pineapple cake so tastes like pineapple too. Even better is the base of grassy green is a platform of gluten free and dairy free pineapple. I had fun making this one!
