It’s that festive time of year again! A few years back, I felt inspired to create a delicious all vegan Christmas dinner that everyone would love – no matter what culinary preferences they normally had.

We have the opportunity to nurture and…
The alarm clock goes off at 5 am, we jump out of bed and rush downstairs to start our Sunday. We sit and have our breakfast, which consists of orange juice and homemade oatmeal topped with banana, maple syrup and a few almonds, while happily watching the weather channel say it is going to be a beautiful day with few clouds and temps in the lower 70’s. That’s perfect for a run and…
Ever since I tried the amazing jackfruit nachos at Sage Bistro I’ve been dying to try my hand at cooking with jackfruit at home. I finally found some canned jackfruit at a local indian market. I’m not really sure if restaurants use canned jackfruit or fresh but I plan on asking next time I eat at Sage. For now, I figured canned would be ok for experimenting with some new recipes. I wasn’t…

This gluten-free, vegan lasagne is a fantastic alternative to the meaty, dairy laden versions. It’s 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…

I am convinced that Mondays are collectively, the most yummy day of the week. Here is a recipe that you should make because watercress is awesome and you and I both know that you don’t eat it often because like me, you get stuck in the produce rut if kale, avocados and more kale.

Every time I visit my parents, there’s always something ready for me to eat. My parents have been supportive of my plant-based lifestyle, and it’s great to come home and see something on the stove that is vegan-friendly. Dad especially likes to cook and frequently omits meat and other animal products just so I can eat the same things they do. Without further ado, here’s my dad’s invention of Okra…
