You can make this vegan squash in coconut milk with plantain using either squash or pumpkin, whichever is in season at the time. In the UK, we tend to be able to get butternut squash all year round in the supermarkets, but other squashes can become a little more elusive until they’re in season. I …
Post Halloween, we’ve always got some pumpkins left over, mostly because we buy extra knowing that they will last a couple of months and we can enjoy pumpkin season into the winter. Therefore. it’s usually mid-November onwards that I get creative with pumpkin recipes. This Vegan Chocolate and Pumpkin Cheesecake is one example of how …
If you had frozen any pumpkin from the autumn season, then you’ll be able to get some out of the freezer for this recipe. If not, butternut squash will make a good substitute. The squash won’t be quite as moist as the pumpkin, so you may need to add a little more moisture into the …

Serve this on some rustic bread and you’ve got a delicious light snack. It’ll keep for about 4 days. If you enjoy the recipes here, please show your support …
I grew up with egg bread. It was a thing in my house. My sister and I would come downstairs after we had been put to bed, walking as quietly as possible to prevent our footfalls creaking on the stairs and ensuring our discovery. We knew we would be caught eventually, my father would still …
The sight of pumpkins on the market shelves always fills me with a little excitement, which I think is because they’re very much a seasonal thing and we only ever see them in the autumn. I become a bit like a squirrel when they appear and, much to the annoyance of my family, I start …
