After nearly two months of eating a plant-based diet I thought I would share my favourite vegan breakfast recipes so far. I’ve really enjoyed trying different recipes but it hasn’t always gone well. I tried quite a few vegan pancake recipes that really didn’t work! I had a particular disaster making vegan ‘crepes’ that I just…

Cookbook Review: Very Veggie Family Cookbook
Cookbooks…I love them, I have got so many (too many!) I did a rough count the other day as I wanted to order a couple more and it came to over 100! One hundred cookbooks, how can I still need more? Here’s my excuse…I don’t use all of the cookbooks I bought in my twenties (pre-…
Lentil Spaghetti bolognese
Cooking this lentil spaghetti for dinner today made me reflect on how my life has changed in the last five years. Life couldn’t be more different. We have moved from a busy London to ‘the countryside’ with the addition of two children who have become the centre of my world. One thing that hasn’t changed so much…
Baby-friendly Curry with Paneer & Spinach
In our household we use this basic curry recipe all the time. Then depending on what ‘s in the fridge I might make it with chicken or make a vegetarian version with chickpea & vegetables but my latest variation is using paneer and spinach. It works really well! Paneer is a mild Indian cheese that…
Ricotta & basil Gnudi with a quick tomato sauce
I only tried Gnudi for the first time recently…and it’s amazing! It’s like nothing else I have ever tasted. A little bit like Gnocchi but made of ricotta instead of potatoes. The word Gnudi comes from the Italian for ‘nude’ and refers to the idea of ‘naked ravioli’. The dumplings are delicate, soft and melt…
Baked eggs with ratatouille
Ratatouille is one of my favourite easy recipes. I find it makes a hearty and filling dish even though it is only made from vegetables. I quite often cook a big pan and eat it again and again through the week and it always tastes better the next day! This ‘baked eggs with ratatouille’ recipe…
Cheesy baked polenta chips
My daughter is mad about cheese. I don’t mind giving it to her occasionally but as it is has a high salt content I prefer not to give it to her all the time! I have enjoyed cooking with polenta for a while. I like using the fast cook grain rather than the ready made…
Miso marinated tofu with vegetable noodles
I’ve had tofu since being a child. I remember standing next to the stove and picking at it straight from the pan before it made it to the dinner table, it seemed like a treat! A lot of people think it’s bland but not when it’s cooked in this way. I’ve always liked it best…
Sweet potato with feta and mint
I love sweet potato and so does my daughter. I find that when she’s not too keen on something new; she’ll eat it when I mix in some sweet potato! I always make extra so I can have some sweet potato purée in the freezer. This is such an easy lunch that only requires 3…
