I have never made proper jam before, mainly because it sounds very labour intensive with a huge amount of sugar! In fact I don’t really eat a lot of jam on toast either, I am much more or a peanut butter girl! But there is something about a thick doorstop slice of white toast, thick … Continue reading
I love crumble but it is usually something reserved for the colder months, a warming blackberry and apple filling with cinnamon topped with buttery rich oaty crumble and smothered in warm custard will keep you happy even on the gloomiest of days. But, as a classic I couldn’t leave it out of this vegan mofo … Continue reading
I’m returning back to basics today with a very simple salsa verde recipe. Sometimes all you need is a very good sauce on a simple meal to bring it to life! I have a few I often go back to when I just fancy a fresh, healthy and very easy dinner but this salsa verde … Continue reading

I wanted to make a beany burger which kind of looked like a beef burger! With the BBQ season coming up there are loads of overly processed “meat alternatives” in the shops including quorn burgers and sausages . I love a good home made beany burger but I understand that not everyone wants to be … Continue reading
