Let’s be honest, it can be a bore always trying to come up with new vegetarian meal options, so here I am making it easier for you 🙂 This was super easy to throw together, absolutely deliciously comforting and full of nutrients. I brought it with to a dinner party where all the other guests…

Thursday Night Pasta
It’s tradition in most Jewish households to have a big family dinner on a Friday night. It’s kind of like our version of a Sunday roast! It’s wonderful; we get together with all the family and have amazing food. But of course it means preparation which usually begins on Thursday night – at least that’s…
Banana Oat Loaf
I really didn’t know what to call this. I attempted to make a loaf that was like banana bread but more oaty, made from breakfast porridge oats, and add apple and cinnamon flavours to it. It still tastes like banana bread, just different. But amazing! I am not even exaggerating when I tell you it…
Pickled Dill Cucumbers
The more I cook, the more I discover how simple it can all be. Although I’ve always hated wasting food, I’ve only recently got much more into the idea of preserving. Very simply, because it goes hand-in-hand with natural, holistic living. Because as you start to make your own and grow your own, you become…
Best, Easiest Vegan Chilli (and tips on staying nourished through the winter)
It’s raining. It’s grey. It’s January in London. At this time of year it’s so important to look after ourselves, physically and emotionally, because the shorter days and colder climate really do alter our physical wellbeing and emotional state. There is a reason that some animals hibernate during these months – protecting themselves from the…
Vegan Carrot Cake
I know, it doesn’t look as neat around the sides as it should but it was yummy – doesn’t that count?? I wasn’t going to not post it simply because it wasn’t neat enough so here it is! An easy, vegan carrot cake that is a perfect option for any party. I made it for…
Cauliflower, Spinach & Tahini Soup
I used to think cauliflower was such a boring vegetable, but now I love it. I make cous-cous out of it, curries and soups. It doesn’t just have to be steamed and eaten plain. I try to get as much tahini into us as possible for plant-based, bioavailable calcium but I’ve never put it in…
Vegan Shepherds Pie
I don’t need to justify my love of vegetarianism or a plant-based diet, my blog is a testament to that. But I do sometimes miss the wholesome family meals that are usually meat-based, and I think that’s OK! Most of my family still eat meat to an extent and I’ll cook it as long as…
Peppermint Chocolate Bark
I don’t know what it is about peppermint that feels wintery and Christmassy, maybe because of the candy canes we’re used to seeing? I could have crushed candy canes onto this to make it look nice but then it would have been full of sugar which is exactly the opposite of what I’m trying to…
Gingerbread Brownies
‘Tis the season to eat gingerbread! I do love incorporating these warming, seasonal flavours into my baking and cooking at this time of year. All I’ve done here is amend my original brownie recipe to incorporate these gingerbread-y flavours and it really works. I’m going to attempt to make healthy gingerbread men at some point…
