S’mores Bars (vegan too!)
The girls have always been rather interested in the concept of S’mores, probably from coming across the term in TV programmes.
Spicy Corn Salad
It’s the 4th July and in honour of my American readers I’ve decided to give a Brit’s take on a classic American meal – dairy, egg and nut-free of course.
Strawberry and Almond Bear Paws
Another type of frangipane (I do have a lot of uses for my egg-free frangipane) filled French style pastry, although I’m not sure they look too much like real bear paws! This time with added …
Lime Curd (dairy and egg-free)
This recipe is inspired by the fabulous Tiny Kitchen Stories blog – definitely one of my favourite bloggers, not just from her blog but also her lovely interactions with other bloggers.
Cheat’s Dairy-free Pain au Chocolat
Whilst we were on holiday in France, every morning Big S would see us enjoying freshly made pain au chocolat and asked if I could make some dairy-free ones when we got home.
3M Mess

Egg-free Raspberry Pavlova
Here’s the second outing for my winning no egg meringue recipe – this time making one large meringue as the base for a Pavlova (for the lovely Somer, you can still have a Pavlova! :-)).
Iced Biscuits using egg-free ‘Royal Icing’
Iced biscuits are cute, pretty and very popular with my children.
Beetroot, Parsnip and Horseradish Soup
This is a fantastic soup: earthy, rooty flavours with the punch of horseradish, and such a vibrant colour – a real autumnal warmer! Beetroot, Parsnip and Horseradish Soup (dairy-free, egg-fre…
Egg-free Meringue
Here it is, at last… drumroll please … the Holy Grail of egg-free / vegan baking, a recipe for proper, homemade meringues that look and taste exactly as they should.
Pizza Express (actually a reasonable option for the dairy and egg-free)
It may seem strange that I’m writing a review of a very well-known pizza chain – doesn’t pizza rely on cheese? However, we’ve eaten at a LOT of Pizza Express branches as a f…
Dairy-free Lemon Posset
Lemon posset, a traditional English pudding, makes a perfect ending to a lovely meal; the lemon sharpness taking away the heaviness that you might associate with cream.
Nut-free Homemade Mincemeat
You can certainly tell that Christmas is just around the corner – this week we’ve got a Nativity play, a Christmas party, a carol service and a Christmas market to attend.
Homemade Chocolate Spread
Little S has developed a taste for Plamil dairy-free chocolate spread and has it on her toast every morning over anything else.
Petits Fours/Chocolate Coated Nibbles
These little chocolate coated nibbles are stunning served with coffee, or simply to end a meal.
Avocado Mayonnaise/Dressing
This avocado mayonnaise makes a wonderful rich and unctuous dressing, all with no egg in sight and a darn sight tastier than a shop-bought egg-free mayo.
Egg-free French Toast/Pain Perdu
I haven’t eaten French toast since I was at Uni, but there’s something ultimately comforting about it.
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…
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 …
