Peruvian Portobello Mushroom Seco

This is a variationย of the traditional Peruvian Seco dish that’s contained in my cookbook, Peruvegan.

This version removes the seitan (making it gluten-free), and replaces it with Portobello and Crimini mushrooms, and Japanese sweet potatoes. The dense and chewy texture of the mushrooms, along with the salty broth…

Iโ€™ve enjoyed eating healthful foods for years and would choose wholesome plant-based delights any day of the year. Learning to create very satiating recipes…

No-Bake Vegan Carrot Cake by Trinity (Gluten-Free Too!)

Raw carrot cake slice by Trinity Bourne

It seems like an eternity since I made my first raw carrot cake, some 15 years ago. A small group (4 of us) formed the ‘Raw Pudding Club’ – we’d gather before lunch, all bringing the most delicious raw desserts (with an occasional salad on the side ๐Ÿ˜‰ ). We’d spend 12 hours straight indulging, chatting, learning, laughing, crying and inspiring one another with anything from food to optimal health…

Raw Vegan Chocolate Covered Coconut Paradise Bars

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…
