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

Peach and Coconut Crumble- Vegan Mofo 2014

Smokey and Spicy Black Bean Burger: Perfect Vegan, Gluten Free BBQ Option
