Baked donuts, no eggs, no dairy – taste and decoration limited only by your imagination. I have created many different variations and I’ll get round to sharing them with you. However it’s Christmas and that means I can share my Christmas tree donuts with you… I bought a Christmas tree donut tin last year. I … More Christmas baked donuts (GF)
This is Christmas in a cookie. We’ve already had Christmas in a burger so I had to balance it with pudding. Crisp on the outside, soft and crumbly on the inside, these are rich and packed with flavours. I think these are more adult cookies than for kids – maybe if you were making for … More Chocolate Christmas Pudding Cookies (GF)
I can now officially start sharing Christmas recipes with you without feeling guilty. Nothing says Christmas more than a delicious mincemeat pie. Of course mincemeat pies are sweet not savoury and certainly don’t contain meat these days. Shop bought mincemeat is full of suet and I always think it’s a bit slimy in texture and … More Mincemeat pies (GF)

The temperature has barely risen above zero and when I got home from the hairdressers, our little cat Sophie was demanding attention. I can’t refuse – she’s just so gorgeous (look at that wee face) I … More Chocolate orange gateau (GF)
I make vegan celebration cakes – not as a business, just in my spare time when I can and I donate the profits to charity (in 2015 this is to Erskine and the Scottish Emergency Riders Volunteer Service).

It tasted lovely but banana overpowers the coffee (which I added cos I think walnut cake on its own is too bland – … More Coffee and Walnut Cake (GF)
Another Great British Bake Off vegan challenge – first up was retro classics and my Facebook followers voted for me to recreate the Black Forest Gateau. So with the help of a wee glass of Scottish strawberry wine and my taste testers – my husband, kids and parents – I was told it absolutely passed … More Black Forest Gateau (GF)
A huge fan of the Great British Bake Off, I decided to set myself a challenge to recreate at least one recipe per show in vegan form. I did manage some recipes, but my interest in the challenge tapered off half-way through. One recipe, which I’m glad I did invest time in was soda bread. … More Caramelised onion and cheese soda bread
I know, it’s November, how can we possibly think about Christmas in November? Well when it comes to Christmas cake you have to plan in advance. And if you don’t celebrate Christmas – well this rich but very simple fruit cake can still be enjoyed – in fact, I always pick the icing and marzipan … More HOHOHO – compassionate Christmas cake
