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.
Vegetarian Sausage Rolls
These savoury vegetarian sausage rolls are perfect picnic fodder: they are easily transportable and there’s no need for any plates or cutlery to tuck into them.
Lightly spiced crispy pea and mint cakes
This idea came to me after seeing a delicious sounding Ottolenghi recipe in this month’s Waitrose magazine for broad bean and mint cakes.
Green bean and radish salad
This rather lovely-looking salad was inspired by a delicious take-away lunch I had from ‘The Potato Merchant’ in Exmouth Market, handily just around the corner from work.

Tarts or quiches are such a useful summer dish – perfect for a light lunch, a centre piece to be served with an array of salads or on a picnic.

Like most families, we eat a lot of pasta, so I decided to mix things up a bit with some home-made gnocchi.
Mushrooms in Adobo Sauce
I think it’s the sudden chill in the air that has made us want to turn up the heat in our meals.
Chocolate-glazed ‘Krispy Kreme’ style vegan Doughnuts
This is nothing more than a naughty, unnecessary indulgence – but hey, why shouldn’t those who avoid dairy, eggs and nuts get to shamelessly indulge from time to time? Or more often tha…
Squash Ravioli with Sage Oil and Pine Nuts
Since making egg-free fresh pasta works so well, why not tackle stuffed pasta? Over the past year I have searched everywhere for dairy-free filling inspiration; books, magazines and the web, but th…
Spanish Style Rice Salad
We had a little tub of rice and butterbean salad from Marks & Spencer for lunch last week, and unlike lots of pre-prepared salad tubs, it was pretty tasty.
Blueberry and lemon Filo Crisp
I think puddings are the greatest challenge to those on a restricted diet – pudding is the comfort end of the meal and as a result often includes the highly calorific and soporific ingredient…
Spinach, Mushroom and Tomato Tarts
I have been lucky enough to have been challenged by Waitrose to concoct a vegetarian alternative to eat at Christmas lunch.
Super Luscious Chocolate Tart
I’m always searching for new and interesting dairy and egg free puddings (I seem to say this a lot, but puddings are a real problem if you don’t eat eggs and dairy but want something ot…
