Ultimate Hummus with Pickle Juice
Why post another recipe for hummus? Does the world need yet another recipe for hummus?I think we do, firstly this hummus is made with canned chickpeas. Of course the absolute best hummus like Paula Wolfert’s classic hummus, is made with pre-soaked dried chickpeas but if you’re not up for all that pre-planning then this is…

Sticky vegan miso roasted carrots
Years ago, I used to make slow cooked parmesan carrot dish as one of my regular dinner party dishes. It was so good… carrots cooked down with loads of butter until they were dense little nuggets of carroty, caramelized, buttery goodness and sprinkled with parmesan – each bite was a umami flavour bomb. When I…

Delicious Vegan Chickpea Blondies Recipe

Delicious Black Barley Salad with Cauliflower and Pomegranate
Black barley is an ancient grain, unlike modern barley where the husk is removed the husk on black barley is kept intact. This makes it a nutritionally rich source of vitamins B and E, calcium, iron and potassium. It is also cholesterol free and a good source of fiber and selenium. I recently cut out…

Flavor-Packed Shredded Tofu with Charred Shallots
I first made this shredded tofu for a vegetarian option in a taco dinner party, which had a braised beef brisket as the main star. Surprisingly, the brisket eaters happily devoured the tofu alongside the meat option. Perhaps this wasn’t so surprising because this shredded tofu is totally delicious. I came across this recipe via…
