Seasonal Pesto

It’s time for another seasonal recipe! This time, it’s homemade pesto. I love pesto, I could eat it every day (and I pretty much did when I was at uni). Fresh pesto is really tasty, particularly when it’s getting warmer outside! I like to use this pesto for hot pasta dishes, pasta salads and toContinue reading “Seasonal Pesto”

Rhubarb Crumble

The first seasonal recipe for spring is a rhubarb crumble! I love rhubarb, and it’s one of the only fruits that grows in the UK at this time of year that is relatively easy to get. It’s great for jams, chutneys and pies, but I chose a crumble because crumbles are super easy to makeContinue reading “Rhubarb Crumble”

Tomato Soup Recipe

In the UK, spring isn’t generally that warm. I know I’m still wrapped up in jumpers, and so I love a comforting but fresh soup to have for lunches. My favourite soup is a classic Heinz tomato, but this isn’t vegan and can feel a little artificial. So, I decided to make my own. It’sContinue reading “Tomato Soup Recipe”

Homemade Nutella

Nutella is one of my favourite foods. I love pairing it with peanut butter and apple slices as a pudding or a snack, which is basically what I would have most afternoons when I came home from school (when I was still in school). But then, I found out that ferrero who make nutella didn’tContinue reading “Homemade Nutella”

Homemade Peanut Butter

One of my newest favourite foods, peanut butter is so delicious. But, it virtually always has palm oil (sometimes sustainable) in the ingredients list, and every time I buy it I acquire a new jar (which we all know I don’t need). So, I decided to try making my own. Now, I like chunky peanutContinue reading “Homemade Peanut Butter”

Tasty Salad Recipes

Salads as a plant-based person can be a bit sad. I like vegetables, but eating vegetables with more vegetables? It’s boring, and doesn’t fill you up. You need those carbs, fats and protein – the big three. I’ve been trying to work on my nutrition recently, and as part of that I’ve been eating saladsContinue reading “Tasty Salad Recipes”

Christmas Jam and Christmas Chutney

So it’s the week of Christmas! I’m not feeling especially festive this year, as I’m sure a lot of people aren’t what with the restrictions and general gloomy atmosphere. But something that always makes me feel Christmassy is cooking and baking. So in these last few days before Christmas, I thought I’d share my twoContinue reading “Christmas Jam and Christmas Chutney”

Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

So, after a couple of weeks where I’ve focused on heavy topics, I thought that this week I’d go with something easy to digest (in all kinds of ways!). This recipe is one that is inspired by a lot of soup recipes of similar kinds, and as per, you can swap out ingredients if youContinue reading “Butternut Squash Soup Recipe”

Mushroom Stir Fry

Stir fry is one of my favourite meals to make, especially when I’m cooking for other people who aren’t vegetarian or vegan. I can do the same base, then add mushrooms or tofu for me, and meat or fish for other people. I tend to do a very plain stir fry, then put the flavourContinue reading “Mushroom Stir Fry”

All About Tofu

Tofu is one of my favourite foods, especially because it’s so versatile. It’s great as a replacement for meat, and (despite what the internet might make you think), it’s been around for a long time, so there are a lot of options for recipes. I thought I’d discuss the environmental impact of tofu versus meat,Continue reading “All About Tofu”
