It’s that time of year again; dark, cold nights, wooly winter warmers and the need to fill your tummy with something hot and comforting. This soup is great all year round, and is super easy to make. Courgettes (or zucchini, depending on where in the world you are) are tasty, versatile and easy to find.
I love fudge. I love the texture, I love the taste. Before I became dairy free, I only ever attempted to make it once and it was so complicated I never did it again! As I now live online, I have seen many recipes for raw vegan fudge with various flavourings. So, I thought I…
This is my go-to chocolate cake recipe. Whether it’s for a birthday, a dinner party or just for dessert it really does tick every box. Chocolate cake is a cause for serious debate in my house, but we all come down to the same conclusion. It can’t be dry. Before giving up dairy, I had…
This week, September turned into October and everything got quite autumnal. So I thought I’d bake something to reflect the season- warm, spiced and comforting. I also used this recipe to have a go at baking with oil. I chose olive oil as I didn’t want some refined, tasteless oil but something with its own distinct…
This dish is a real one-pot wonder. It takes a little time and patience, but the end result is so worth it. This recipe works for 2-4 pork shoulder steaks, although it really is based on how many can fit in your pan/dish of choice. Ingredients 2-4 Pork Steaks (or any other lean cut of…
A dairy-free panini, as with pizza, needs to be really special to stand up to its cheese-packed ancestors. As an ingredient, cheese packs so much. It is rich, it is creamy, it has texture, saltiness, sharpness and often a little nutty sweetness. This panini, for me, packs enough flavour to hold itself up against any…
Banana muffins are the way I use up bananas that are no longer appetising. These muffins are sweet and comforting, and the oats add a nice texture without turning it into something other than a cake. This recipe makes 12 muffins Ingredients 150g plain flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda…
I LOVE lemon desserts. Especially in summer. My pre-intolerance favourite dessert was a classic tarte au citron, and so I had to find an easy dairy-free version to make at home (traditionally, tarte au citron contains more of a custard than a curd- it is made using double cream).
Pesto is something I missed as soon as I gave up dairy. It is a serious quick-dinner staple in my house and, to be frank, most of the dairy-free or vegan versions don’t quite hit the mark. A lot of them are bland and most are under-seasoned. This pesto is very versatile and really tasty.…
