I MISS CHOCOLATE! Like a big old bar of chocolate, breaking it off, dipping it in a fresh cup of tea so it goes all gooey... mmm. Wait, no. It's only natural that from time to time I feel like slipping from my new vegan ways and burying my face in some chocolate. I was … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Brownie squares
You read that title correct, VEGAN OMELETTE! Being a new vegan I am still coming up against a few issues because I used to love an eggy, weekend breakfast. It seems that tofu is the answer to my eggy cravings. First I wearily tried scrambled tofu and now I'm trying a tofu omelette. Now, when I was … Continue reading BRUNCH: Vegan omelette, wait, what?
MUSHROOMS ARE MY NEMESIS. I've grown up hating everything about them, they have a weird texture, a god awful smell and they are the ugliest colour. Can you tell I'm still on the hatred bandwagon here? Since turning to a plant based diet however I've realised that my full blown loathing of mushrooms is going to … Continue reading THE VEGAN DIARIES: Why I’m forcing myself to eat mushrooms
Bread makes my soul happy, seriously. Everything from pitta bread to a spelt loaf, I bloody love it. You can imagine how heart broken I was when I was diagnosed with a wheat intolerance. Now supermarkets are great at offering gluten free breads, rolls, even wraps but they can be super expensive. So to the … Continue reading BREAD: Flatbreads
At a work event last week, I requested special food (as always), I made my way over to the unsuspecting member of staff and started to explain that I couldn't eat anything on the buffet because unfortunately I'm wheat intolerant AND vegan "no problem, take a seat and the kitchen will whip something up … Continue reading MEALS: Butternut squash risotto
Now this is not a recipe by any means! This is simply an idea for a a quick breakfast. Grab a bowl, a pot of Alpro soya yoghurt, a banana, handful of grapes and some agave syrup. BOOM! Breakfast is ready within minutes.
In week two of my Vegan Diaries I mentioned that I was down in LDN having great food and lots of gin for my friend's 30th birthday. My friend Harriet makes the best food, hands down, she's always fed me so well, so so well, naturally I was over the mood when she introduced me … Continue reading BREAKFAST: Beesley’s posh beans
Back in May I blogged about my Rhubarb Flapjacks, at the time I was on a mission to find a healthy flapjack recipe, I FAILED. Ok so my Rhubarb Flapjack recipe is not a total disaster, it's so damn tasty that I could cry. But it is still full of sugar and syrup, leave that out and the … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Flapjacks that won’t rot your teeth
Peanut butter makes me so happy, so much so that I'm frequently spotted at my desk scoffing a spoonful as an afternoon snack (that's not a snack Amy, PUT THE SPOON DOWN). I used to make these amazing peanut butter cups but they were FULL of chocolate, they tasted heavenly but you could feel your … Continue reading SWEET TREATS: Peanut butter squares
At the weekend I blogged the second instalment of The Vegan Diaries, I mentioned that I had a new cook book; Salad Samurai. This book was given to me by one of my best friends who uses it so much that it's constantly open in her kitchen (I saw it, she wasn't exaggerating). I honestly want … Continue reading DRESSINGS: Lemon and tahini love in
