Lime Curd (dairy and egg-free)
This recipe is inspired by the fabulous Tiny Kitchen Stories blog – definitely one of my favourite bloggers, not just from her blog but also her lovely interactions with other bloggers.
Cheat’s Dairy-free Pain au Chocolat

Iced Biscuits using egg-free ‘Royal Icing’
Iced biscuits are cute, pretty and very popular with my children.
Beetroot, Parsnip and Horseradish Soup
This is a fantastic soup: earthy, rooty flavours with the punch of horseradish, and such a vibrant colour – a real autumnal warmer! Beetroot, Parsnip and Horseradish Soup (dairy-free, egg-fre…
Egg-free Meringue
Here it is, at last… drumroll please … the Holy Grail of egg-free / vegan baking, a recipe for proper, homemade meringues that look and taste exactly as they should.
Pizza Express (actually a reasonable option for the dairy and egg-free)
It may seem strange that I’m writing a review of a very well-known pizza chain – doesn’t pizza rely on cheese? However, we’ve eaten at a LOT of Pizza Express branches as a f…
