I am often asked about healthy, vegan breakfast options…Most of the time, I enjoy fresh fruit or a smoothie in the morning, although there are days when fruit just doesn’t cut it. When deciding on what to eat for breakfast I want to make sure that every morsel is healthful, nutritious and of course, delicious. This is where my Quinoa Breakfast Bowl works a real treat. It’s the perfect, cooked,…
Cauliflower is packed with nutrients and high vibrational goodness, so I like to include it in my weekly cuisine in ample amounts whenever it’s in season. I love it raw (see: Cauliflower & Tahini Salad), cooked in soups and curries or gently steamed and served on a soft bed of quinoa with hemp oil & tamari (nothing beats a bit of good ol’ fashioned simplicity!). The coconut and tomato in…
If there was a modern day David & Goliath battle worth taking note of it would be the Cowspiracy movie. In this case David could use all the support he can get! There is one single movement destroying the planet more than any other… but no one wants to talk about it. The time has come to put the record straight. It’s time for the world to open it’s heart…
I remember how tasty shop bought, coconut chocolate bars seemed to be back in the days when I ate that ‘regular’ kind from the store. I’d enjoy them for a moment of indulgence; get a sugar kick; a brief feeling of euphoria; then I’d experience that uncomfortable ‘I know this wasn’t good for me‘ sort of feeling (thankfully for me, that was over 20 years ago now). These days when…
Those of us who’ve ever seen images of the twisted and thwarted world of factory farming (or animals in captivity), have often wondered how an openhearted person finds the strength to go in and capture such heart wrenching footage. I’ve long since imagined what it must be like be that person who cares so profoundly, so deeply, to be willing to witness these acts, time and time again. These people…
These delicious, crunchy, easy-to-make biscuits are a real favourite in my house at the moment. It’s actually been a miracle that I caught a photo of them at all, given that they tend to fly out of the kitchen before I manage to get my camera out. Being gluten-free, vegan, free from egg, diary and refined sugar, these chocolate chip biscuits are suitable for most people, whilst offering a perfect…
In a culture that tends to bombard us with pollution, free-radicals, electro-smog and a myriad of vibrational lowering stress, I love to know that every morsel of what I eat is supporting my health and helping keep my vibration high. I love starting off the first meal of the day with a fresh juice or smoothie, loaded with nutritious gems. Below, I’m sharing a recipe for my malty-maca, mango and…
I love dispelling the myth that healthy food can’t be absolutely delicious. There’s something really satiating about eating a dessert that not only tastes scrumptious, but is also full of healthy ingredients. My new ‘Fig-a-licious Vegan Tart’ is free from diary, egg, wheat, gluten, refined sugar and it STILL tastes delectable. We absolutely love this one here, so I felt to share it for anyone else looking for a tasty,…
Having been vegan for some 20 years now I canโt help but notice the rapidly growing trend of vegan friendly places to visit in Britain today. Gone are the days when we had to seriously stock pile our travel bags with goodies so that we didnโt go hungry (or resort to less compassionate eating choices) when on the road. These days it seems that we can venture just about anywhere…
Falafel is a traditional deep fried Middle Eastern dish. We enjoy a wonderfully healthy version by adding a few extra things like turmeric and sweet potato and bake them in the oven instead. I like to add turmeric, because it complements the other flavours so well and gives a gorgeous yellow glow to the plate. Turmeric is an all round winner when it comes to health. Itโs excellent at supporting…
Juicing can give us a potent hit of helpful nutrients โ thinkย โ8 salads worth of high vibrational goodness in a glassโ! There are an infinite number of combinations that you can create, yet, most people usually find a favourite combination that they go back to again and again. Iโve been juicing my favourite โsuper cleansing green tonic kale & coriander drinkโ for years now… After traveling last week I am…
Smoothies make a regular appearance in our house around breakfast time each morning. Apples donโt always spring to mind when people think of smoothies, which is a bit of a pity because they really are one of nature’s finest super foods, well worthy of our attention. I find that adding a little tahini (a paste made from sesame seeds โ see notes below) helps to slow down the release of…
This gluten-free, vegan lasagne is a fantastic alternative to the meaty, dairy laden versions. Itโs tasty, filling and full of healthy protein and nutritional goodness. In this version I use twirly rice fusilli pasta instead of flat lasagne pasta sheets. You can, of course, buy pasta sheets and use them instead. Gluten free pasta sheets are more specialist and expensive (here in the UK at least), so I prefer to…
