Chilli and Broccoli Salad
We’ve recently been swamped by broccoli – we seem to keep buying it although the fridge is full to bursting! Broccoli is lovely just boiled/steamed, but it’s good to do something …
Crumble Topped Apple and Apricot Pie
I’ve mentioned before that puddings are difficult if you’re dairy, egg and nut-free – you really can have too much soya yogurt! I’m not much of a pie maker, but pies make lo…
Oriental noodle salad
Hooray, the sun’s shining! After what seems like forever spring has appeared and the sun is shining and what better way to celebrate than a wonderful, flavourful salad for lunch? The added bo…
Whoopie pies
I made a batch of whoopie pies ages ago when they were briefly fashionable (it’s more about the macarons now, which I’m determined to master in vegan form soon!).
Anzac Biscuits
Anzac biscuits for Anzac Day! These are an antipodean staple – sent to the troops serving in the Anzac forces during the war because they were tasty, calorific and durable.
Oven-baked Risotto with Roasted and Sun-dried Tomatoes
Sometimes you just don’t have the time to make a ‘proper’ risotto, all that time standing at the stove stirring for 20 minutes or so.
Banana and Chocolate Cookies
I always try to make some homemade treat at the weekend so that the girls can have a tempting homemade goodie when they get home from school.

Churros
Churros (minus the chocolate sauce) are one of the few freshly baked treats we can buy at fairs, festivals and markets.
Mexican bean salad
Spring has arrived and the sun was shining – what better excuse to make some salads? You might have notice that I’m rather obsessed with salads – they’ll certainly be many m…
Tarte aux Fraises
Delectable French-style fruit tarts (tartes aux fruits with crème pâtissière filling) are my all time favourite puddings, so I was really keen to make a vegan version.
Sweetcorn Fritters
This egg and dairy-free sweetcorn fritter recipe must be the simplest dish in the world, and makes a great accompaniment to a veggie ‘fry-up’ or just as a standby when you need to whip …
Smoked Paprika and Parsley Falafel Patties (with Lemon Egg-free Mayo)
For some reason I got to thinking about the combination of smoked paprika and parsley (I do think about food a lot on my long, gruelling commute!) and pondered how I could combine them in a interes…
Roasted Asparagus and New Potato Salad
It may be the height of the English asparagus season, but it’s also the pinnacle of the Jersey Royal season.
