Oh my lemon-y, buttery goodness! These lemon drop thumbprint cookies are the stuff of dreams. They came about after some reminiscing about the beautiful jam thumbprint cookies my mum always makes. While she is far away in Australia and I am here in Belfast, I thought I’d go and take a shot at them myself. …
My Long-Haul Carry On Essentials
In my 30-odd years, I’ve been on many a long-haul flight. We migrated to Australia when I was just 8 and journeyed back to visit family in the UK frequently. So I grew quite accustomed to travelling 20+ hours. In fact, sometimes I even find myself missing long-haul flights – crazy I know, and maybe …
Vegan Bagel French Toast
This recipe came about when I really fancied some french toast but didn’t have any bread on hand. Spotting the trusty bagels tucked away in my cupboard, I though “a-ha! They’ll do!”. Little did I know they’d be an absolute bloomin’ treat! Bagel french toast is THE BEST. It has jumped right to the front …
Crispy Tofu with Peanut Sauce
Earlier this year, my partner changed work shifts which meant he wouldn’t be home for dinner. It kind of shook up our routine and I thought it was the end of delicious vegan dinners as we knew it. How dramatic! Anyway, it has turned out to be a rather good thing. For one, we are …
Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Pizza
This recipe is so dang easy… even when making the pizza dough from scratch! Hallelujah! I’m a huge fan of buffalo sauce – the heat, the flavour – it puts a big ol’ smile on my face. Before I turned vegan, if I ever spotted buffalo chicken on a menu, it was a no-brainer. I …
Bam & Boo Toothbrush: An Eco-Friendly Alternative
Until recently, I’m ashamed to admit, I hadn’t really thought all that much about my use of plastic. I’d leave tote bags at home on shopping trips and happily pay for a plastic bag, telling myself that reusing the bag was “doing the right thing” How wrong I was! Like many people, I love watching …
Vegan Eats Guide: London
So, you’re planning a trip to London, eh? Well, vegan reader, you’re in luck! Because London just happens to be one of the most vegan friendly places in the world. Way back in my 20s, I was fortunate enough to spend a few years living here, and along the way sampled some seriously good food …
Homemade Vegan Baked Beans
Ah, baked beans. Is there really much better than simple beans on toast for dinner? Maybe. But beans and toast will always have a special place in my heart. Perfectly simple for all those nights where you promised yourself you’d make a slap up dinner and then all of sudden discovered it was 8 o’clock …
Vegan Corn Fritters
I’m really showing my Australian roots with this post because, in case you weren’t aware, Australians are notoriously keen on the humble fritter. But who can blame us, corn fritters are the best breakfast treat – don’t you agree? Well, I actually know a few people who despise corn – so they’d very likely disagree. But pfft! Who …
Vegan Creamy Alfredo with Brussel Sprouts & Mushrooms
Controversial, but I was never much of a creamy pasta fan. Even before I turned vegan. That was until just recently. I’ve since discovered the delights of a wonderful thick and creamy alfredo sauce… and I’ll never look back! I played around with a number of alfredo sauce recipes, but this is the one I …
