This is a wonderful chilled, sweet pie that uses tofu as its base. Tofu is great for taking on the properties of eggs when baking tarts and pies as it sets firmly, like an egg-based pie would. The dessert is gluten-free, but you can use a standard vegan pastry base if you have no issues…

Vegan Cheese, Ham and Sundried Tomato Slices
These are basically vegan pasties, which is kind of like the Holy Grail of vegan junk food. At the time of writing this I haven’t been able to find any that you can buy (although the recent arrival of the Greggs sausage roll is a welcome step in the right direction). So, until the day…
Kale and Dill Wraps with Aubergine, Pineapple and Black Beans
These are the standard chickpea flour wraps, but with the addition of kale and dill to the batter to give it a green colour, and to get a little extra veggies in us. This is done by adding the kale, dill and some lime juice to water and blending together until completely smooth. That then…
Roasted Red Pepper and Aubergine Pasta Sauce
Pasta sauces are great for those nights when you just want to throw something together with the minimum fuss possible. I came up with this one when I suddenly found myself with a load of people to feed and not much time (or many ingredients) with which to do something creative. This dish was literally…
Stir-Fried Tofu with Aubergines
Great food doesn’t have to keep you tied to the kitchen for a whole evening. Sometimes you just want to get in and get it done, which is one of the many reasons stir-fries are great. This one is packed with flavour and can be ready to eat in the time it takes you to…
Four Layer Vegan Chocolate Oreo Cake
For most of the birthdays in the house I make some form of vegan chocolate cake. It’s almost always over-the-top extravagant, with its four layers of sponge and insanely-rich chocolate filling and surrounded by even more chocolate. The family love them, so I thought I’d share one of them with you here. I’ve used Oreo…
Vegan Lemon Tart
I’ve missed lemon tarts since becoming vegan and I’ve been meaning to get around to making one for some time now. So, finally, here it is. The only thing not gluten-free in this is the pastry, which you can easily swap for a gluten-free one. You can take the one from my chocolate tart here,…
Baked Rhubarb with Sweet Potato, Swede and Crushed Hazelnuts.
Rhubarb lends itself well to savoury dishes if given the right sweetness during cooking. It is also an extremely delicate plant to cook with and as such must be dealt with carefully if you want to keep it intact. For this recipe the rhubarb is baked in a syrup for about 15 minutes, without touching…
Courgette Fritters with Basil and Dill Dressing
Vegetable fritters are an ingeniously tasty way of getting vegetables in you. They’re basically a pancake batter that’s crammed with whichever vegetables you happen to have lying around. I’ve chosen courgettes and spring onions because of their fresh taste and the fact that courgettes grate really well (though you do have to squeeze the moisture…
Vegan Chocolate Biscuits
Forgive my lack of posts recently. Launching my Vegan Cook School around the Christmas period has certainly taken up the majority of my time. Now that the school is open for business, it’s great to be back to writing recipes again. This is the start of Veganuary and the beginning of a vegan adventure for…
