Savoury Muffins
If you are wanting a quick grab savoury breakfast, these muffins are the thing. Make up a double batch, keep half out and freeze the rest. They are packed with complete protein, contain vitamin C, A, K, fibre and potassium. Take them up a notch by cutting them in half and adding a nice dollop of hummus.
Brazil Nut Parmesan (and pasta of course)
I’m not exaggerating when I write that I still smile from ear to ear every time I think of or mention the last 3 Day Vegan Foundation Cooking Course.
Chickpea and Red Lentil Moroccan Hot Pot with Tahini Sauce
In the modern world of maintaining one’s weight, people have misunderstood the idea of avoiding carbohydrates. Many people cut out the full carbohydrate macronutrient and by doing this they are depriving their body of many important benefits, they are missing out on resistance starch, fibre and a whole range of nutrients including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Breakfast Congee
What do you eat for breakfast? Do you eat the same thing every day or vary it up? My mum told me as a child that if you have breakfast you set yourself up for the day. Even science proves this.

Electrolyte Drink

Mushroom Dip or Pate
Huge apologies everyone for my very overdue newsletter and recipe. I was not well for a week then went straight into the Vegan Chef Training that has been fantastic but all consuming.
Ukrainian Cabbage Rolls
What’s your relationship with cabbage? Do you love it or loathe it? I love it, I love a great coleslaw and I eat cabbage in the form of home made sauerkraut twice a day. When it comes to cooking it though I shy away from it a little bit but due to its immense health benefits I have been adding it a lot more into my diet. I have noticed that if I eat raw red cabbage I digest it really well but if...
