I love, love, love tofu! It’s so versatile. I use it to make icing on my Chocolate Cake, as a crab substitute in Sebastian’s Salad, as an egg replacement in my Veganised Menorcan Quiche and for added texture and protein in my Sesame Cabbage Stir-Fry. So I guess it was only a matter of time…

Perfect Potatoes
After non-stop roasting, and more potatoes than I care to eat, I feel that it’s safe to say these really are the ‘Perfect Potatoes’. By perfect I mean light, warm and fluffy on the inside, while crisp and golden on the outside. Heaven! Roast potatoes – usually a side, rarely a main – are surprisingly…
Mama’s Ginger Carrots
My second delicious, super easy, vegan, low-FODMAP, Christmas side dish is ginger carrots. I’ve always loved the ginger-carrot combo, especially at Christmas because my mum always makes these as Christmas side. If your making them for guests and want them to look more impressive, you can always use baby carrots. They also look great with…
Rosemary Roasted Parsnips
This week I’m posting three delicious, simple, vegan and low-fodmap classic Christmas sides. Wow, that was a mouthful! First off, because they’re one of my favourite root vegetables… Roasted Parsnips. Some parsnip trivia for you: They are native to Eurasia and closely related to carrots, okay you probably knew that already. But did you know they…
Carrot and Ginger Cupcakes
I’ve been a chocaholic for as long as I can remember, so it’s no surprise that my favourite desserts are usually chocolate flavoured. However, I used up all my cocoa on my orange chocolate mousses and wanted to give these a go. My brother (Jack) has always been the best baker, carrot and ginger cake…
Orange Chocolate Mousse
My boiler’s not working, it hasn’t been working since Sunday morning. It can’t read the water pressure, so won’t come on. Whilst I understand the logic behind it (you wouldn’t turn on an empty kettle) the cleverness of the boiler isn’t really impressing me too much right now, as the warmest room in the flat…
Sheepless Pie
A close friend told me she could never go vegan because she’d miss Shepherds Pie too much. I like a challenge so decided to try and make a tasty low-FODMAP vegan version. (Also I was really tempted to master this because I couldn’t resist the name!) This is a strange dish for me, I felt…
Val’s Vegan Cabbage Rolls
Those who are following my blog will already know that my mate (Robin’s) mother (Val) has an allotment where she grows loads of wonderful organic vegetables. As a result Robin often comes round bearing delicious gifts! Last time she gave us some lovely potatoes which I used to make Patatas A Lo Pobre. These vegan…
Squashed Tower
I woke up yesterday with good intentions… I was going to have a coffee, do some pilates and then post all about ‘Squashed Tower’. However my plan was foiled when one by one things started to go wrong. Firstly, while I was having my coffee, I logged onto Amazon to buy a Christmas present for…
Sweet Miso Glazed Aubergine
This soft-melting aubergine with sticky, sweet and salty miso-glaze makes for a mouthwateringly rich meal that’s easy to make (and eat!) Any aubergine lovers will know that they act like a sponge and soak up oil so, to avoid them becoming too heavy, it’s important to brush on the oil which gives you control over…
