When my latest product arrived to test – a deodorant suitable for vegans – I nearly sent it back. The deodorant ‘stick’ was hard and dry – not the usual soft block I would expect from this type of deodorant. Reaching for the glasses (curses to old age) I read the back and realised there was … More Natural is definitely best
It started with a desire to make Dosa but I lack the necessary skill and instead, what I’ve created is nice (not as nice as Dosa, but since I’ve eaten these in India, I don’t think anything I made would be even close to the real thing) and exceptionally tasty. I’m not a huge fan … More Spiced vegetable pancakes (GF)
Most of the vegan sausages you buy in the shops will contain gluten, which is the basis for your seitan. It’s a funny thing to work with and there’s lots of different techniques from boiling in a flavoured broth to adding direct to the mixture. I have been experimenting for years and created some interesting … More Seitan sausages
These biscuits are actually a festive twist on the humble Empire biscuit – a childhood favourite of mine. And there are two people I know who would sell their soul for these biscuits and regularly get me to make them. I have different flavour combinations I use throughout the seasons however for Christmas I’ve gone with … More Christmas iced biscuits (GF)
I’ve been experimenting with vegan hot water pastry for a while and while there’s been success it wasn’t quite what I remember of Scotch pies. Now I’m not going to win any points for presentation but for taste – well I reckon I’ve got it in the bag now. I’m saving one of these bad … More Scotchless pie
My tunaless tuna is inspired by the Happy Herbivore and I’ve seen various versions of it online. I have now adapted this to my personal taste and before I discovered vege soy fish crisp, it was the only alternative taste to the sea I could find. I’d always served it chilled, it’s delightful with watercress or … More Tunaless tuna parcels
A few months ago I made one of those spur of the moment purchases at a vegan festival in Edinburgh. I found something called Vege Soy Fish Crisp and was told I could make fish cakes with it. But I wasn’t really listening and a few months on, it was still lying in the cupboard … More Mock salmon parcels
Last year on Facebook there was a picture of gingerbread reindeers, which were effectively upside down gingerbread men. Facebook memories reminded me of these cute little biscuits so I set about creating some for myself. And now I’ve been creating them for others too – so to enable everyone to enjoy them, here’s the recipe: … More Gingerbread shaped biscuits
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)
