Creamy Peach Breakfast Smoothie from Vegan in 15

I’ve been away for a while, taking a bit of an unannounced break to focus on my health treatment and studies. I’m happy to be back and sharing an amazing recipe from an amazing book, Vegan in 15 by Kate Ford.

Lentil Butternut Bolognese

This recipe is for a multi tasker of a meal. Not only is it a perfect accompaniment to pasta, it’s fantastic on baked potatoes, in wraps or with a little extra stock, it makes a lovely warming, hearty soup. You could even use it to make a vegan version of the classic American Sloppy Joes which kids would love!

Turmeric Coconut Rice

Can you believe it’s February already?

There was a lot of hype in January around dieting and detoxing after the festive season. I’m never good at getting on the New Years resolutions health bus right after New Year. It takes me some time to get back to normality and use up all that leftover vegan cheese and chocolate from Christmas.

Rustic Rumpledethumps #BritishFoodFortnight

What on Earth is Rumbledethumps? I hear many of you asking!

Rumbledethumps is a traditional Scottish dish much like a Scottish version of Bubble and Squeak or Irish Colcannon. Basically, mashed potatoes with yummy things added – onions, cabbage and cheese. Much like Bubble and Squeak, it is thought to have been created as a way of using up leftovers. Nowadays, it is delicious enough to make from scratch and even sold in supermarkets as a ready meal side dish.

Smokey Creamy BBQ Aubergine Pasta

It’s been a bit of a crazy couple of weeks between two days of funeral services for my dear guardian, then a weekend away for a wedding a day later, then the next day flying over to Portugal early in the morning. We arrived home on Tuesday, after an awfully long and uncomfortable journey full of delays and still don’t feel rested.
