Chocolate chip blondies, resplendent in all their gooey perfection. It really is hit and miss to give these the exact right amount of time in the oven. They have to be cooked through but equally, no point in a blondie (or brownie) if they are more like a cake texture – they just have to…

Vegan Chocolate Frosted Brownies
Is there anything more satisfying than an indulgent chocolate brownie? How about when you know that said brownie is free of refined sugar, gluten, wheat, grains, dairy, eggs, soya and preservatives? Sound good? How about if I tell you that they are SUPER easy to make? Sold? Great! Get baking! Surprising though it may sound,…
3-Ingredient Blackberry Chia Jam
Yes yes, I’m that mum that makes jam, the mum that people take the mick out of; ‘Oh I’m not going to sit at home and make my own jam.’ Well I’m proud of the fact that everything my family eats is made by us. And what beats homemade breads and jams? I certainly don’t…
Zucchini Bread – GF, DF, SF
Zucchini Bread has a much better ring to it than Courgette Bread, don’t you think? Maybe you think that ‘Courgette’ sounds nicer, and more French, than Zucchini? But after years of deliberating, I have decided that I prefer ‘Zucchini’, despite the fact that I am British and should be calling it courgette. Well, I’ve never…
Fry’s Family Gluten Free Vegan Burgers
Of course I didn’t make these vegan burgers myself, they are by the amazing Fry’s Family vegan foods. They are non-GMO and the only ‘oven food’ we’ll use in our house. It’s really great if you do need an easy dinner, without having to opt for rubbish fish fingers. I made the slaw and the…
Epic Vegetarian Portobello Burgers
Do these vegetarian or vegan portobello burgers look amazing or what?? I mean, who needs meat! They are vegetarian but you can make them vegan by forgoing the halloumi. As you know, we don’t really do dairy in this house but we do have the odd bit of halloumi cheese every so often, especially in…

We took along our vintage Fortnum & Mason picnic hamper, very cool personalised mugs and bottle for Braxton kindly sent to us by Ellie Ellie, an awesome personalised gifts company, and a…
Quinoa Crunch Bars
Remember ‘Crunch’ bars growing up? I think they were my favourite. Crunchy and chocolatey but not too rich – yum. So here I give you… the healthy version: Quinoa Crunch Bars. As long as you have a good food processor, these are easy to make. Quinoa is such an awesome source of plant-based protein, and…
Chocolate Truffle Hearts
There is nothing inside these chocolates that makes them ‘truffles’ necessarily, it’s just that the mixture is so decadent that when it sets thickly – as it does in the heart-shapes moulds I have because they’re so deep – it honestly tastes and feels like Belgian chocolate truffles melting into your mouth, and yet totally…
Mung Daal (Moong Dahl)
I got tips for this recipe from a few Indian friends (everyone seems to make it slightly differently), then put my own stance on it, but only a little bit because why change something that works? So thanks to Deepa, Roshni and Abigail! Mung beans have been part of traditional Ayurvedic diets for thousands of…
