Italian flavoured polenta burgers
You can’t beat a tasty veggie burger, far superior to any meat offering (well I would say that wouldn’t I!!).
Brilliant barbecue sauce
The weather has been glorious (never a given in the UK, even in the summer!) – perfect for picnics and barbecues.
Jamaican Jerk Spiced Sweet Potato Burgers
The current hot weather has kept my thoughts on spicy, exotic flavours – a tropical holiday at home, if you like! We enjoyed my jerk aubergine skewers so much that I was pretty keen on using …
Broccoli Fritters
Fritters are such a useful recipe, an easy, tasty and filling meal that can be whipped up in seconds.
Slow roast tomato and gnocchi salad
I’m not sure where the idea came from but I figured why not make a salad out of gnocchi.
Classic Victoria Sponge Cake (without the eggs or dairy)

Egg-Free Herby Savoury French Toast
I really really wanted to find another addition to our limited breakfast repertoire.
Brioche Burger Buns
Brioche burger buns seem to be all the rage, with their impossibly glossy tops, rich soft crumb and sweet taste.
Egg-free choux buns
It’s been a very, very long journey for me to find any recipe that even approximates choux.
Sun dried Tomato Bagels
I simply love my new Kitchenaid, it has made such a massive difference to my life.
Coronation chickpeas
Coronation chicken is such a ubiquitous buffet dish and sandwich filling in the UK, and its something I had yet to replicate as a vegetarian.
Mexican Rice and Beans Salad
The sun is shining and it’s starting to feel a little warmer – yippee! After the long dark, cold months there suddenly light and colour, oh what joy! I was intending on cooking another …
