Vegan Eggnog (Sugar-free and Gluten-free)
Eggnog – the Quintessential Holiday Drink This Christmas recipe is a nog-out, it will nog your socks off and leave you nogging for more! With absolutely zero eggs involved, I guess it should really be called Negg-nog. The original eggnog originates from the British mediaeval drink posset, a hot milky, alcoholic beverage. The word “nog” may […]
Roast Autumn Vegetable and Chana Dal Stew
The season of autumn, with its winds and changeability, can aggravate vata dosha creating feelings of stress, worry and anxiousness. This nourishing stew combines a variety of orange root vegetables, with chana dal*, healing spices and smoky vegan sausage in a deeply grounding dish, which makes you feel like you’ve been wrapped in a great […]
Vegan Chocolate Truffles
I imagine, like most other people, that you are celebrating the holidays a bit differently this year? If you can’t get out to the shops, if there are no parties, if you aren’t hosting/attending a large family gathering and if you are beginning to feel just a teeny bit depressed about the whole idea of the holiday season […]
Healthy eating for seniors
Two days before Christmas in 2017, I received a call from the hospital in England, calling me to come as soon as possible. My 91-year-old stepmum, Vera, had had a massive stroke and was not expected to survive for long. Could I come to say my goodbyes? I threw a few things in a case, […]

Almond milk has become popular, and the supermarket shelves are packed with different types. Do read the labels, as some have additives you might wish to avoid, such as sugar, sunflower oil and flavourings. My absolute favourite is home-made almond milk, and it’s so easy to make. If you want a beautiful, creamy, smooth milk, […]

These are some of the effects I experience, within a few seconds of gulping down a big mouthful of freshly made vegetable and fruit juice. […]
Salted Maple Walnut Brownies
I love salt and sweet together. Almost all of my desserts have at least a pinch of salt in them. It’s essential to bring out the flavour of chocolate and don’t get me started on salted caramel! I LOVE the stuff, but it’s hard to justify the quantities of butter and sugar… These caramelised walnuts […]
Spaghetti Bolognese
Who doesn’t know how to make a vegan spag bol? Well, quite a lot of people it seems, if the frequency with which I’ve had to give out this recipe over the years is anything to go by. So I’ve decided to make it truly public for once and all. Of course, like any good […]
Vegan Burger
‘Can you recommend a good vegan burger recipe?’ I’ve had this question so many times, it seemed time to put one up on the blog. This is a yummy, infinitely variable recipe that changes every time I make it, so feel free to experiment. The basic burger ingredients: protein (nuts and/or beans and/or tofu…) starch […]
