Did you know that 95% of pumpkins are used at Halloween and then thrown away? Well, here is another recipe to use up left over pumpkin and get that autumnal flavour – it’s a tray bake! Pumpkin cake is pretty similar to carrot cake, and it’s great to add to a spiced sponge, so whyContinue reading “Pumpkin Cake Recipe”
Pumpkin Soup Recipe
So Halloween is over, and people are already starting to think about Christmas, so what do you do with that left over pumpkin? 95% of the 10 million pumpkins used at Halloween are thrown away, so how can we avoid sending pumpkins to landfill? By eating them! My personal favourite is pumpkin soup, because it’sContinue reading “Pumpkin Soup Recipe”
Apple Meatballs Recipe
It’s another seasonal recipe! This is a recipe I can take no credit for, because it’s one that my boyfriend introduced me to that has become a personal favourite. He makes it with pork, but it works really well with meatless mince and is a nice way for me to enjoy the foods I eatContinue reading “Apple Meatballs Recipe”
Courgette and spinach pasta
Hello! Long time no see. It’s still (somehow) summer, even though it doesn’t feel like it. So, how about a final summer recipe? This uses spinach and courgette, which are both in season in summer. This recipe serves two, but if you want more or less, have more or less! Enjoy! Ingredients: 4 handfuls ofContinue reading “Courgette and spinach pasta”
Strawberry Tart
Strawberries are the fruit of summer for me – anyone else? They’re pretty easy to find over summer, you can even go and pick them yourself. My mum has always grown them, so we’re really lucky to have loads on demand. That also means that I’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out what to doContinue reading “Strawberry Tart”

I will be sticking to fruits and vegetables, but I’ll link aContinue reading “Eating Seasonally in Summer”
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”
Hummus Recipe
Hummus (or houmous, if you spell it like that) is one of my favourite foods. When I first went vegetarian, hummus was one of my go-to foods, especially for sandwiches. But, since looking at my dairy consumption, I discovered that some hummus has cream in it?! I also realised that each pot, which I wouldContinue reading “Hummus Recipe”
