Marmite, avocado and mushroom toastie

Sometimes a toastie is all you need! Combining avocado and tomatoes with marmite and mushrooms makes this toastie a bit different, but full of unexpected and delicious flavour combinations. The combination of salty, fatty and juicy really is the key to a successful sandwich. Ideal if you’re trying to incude more plants in your diet, but still want to enjoy a midday sandwich, or those who are giving veganism a go and trying new options for toastie and sandwich fillings. This works perfectly for breakfast, lunch or a snack!

Biscoff and chocolate together is a match made in heaven. The sweet spiced flavour of the biscoff lotus biscuits, combined with the rich taste of dark chocolate, is a flavour combination that will make everyone’s mouth water. The best thing is that they’re unbelievably easy to do, accidentally vegan, only need three ingredients, and you’ll want to try them out with different flavour combinations too (I’ll share some suggestions in the recipe below)

These chocolate crunch almond based treats are so tasty, and yet such a healthy option to make at home for a special treat. I love the idea of making these as gifts at Christmas time especially, because of the addition of cranberries. But you can switch these cranberries for any dried fruit, such as dates, raisins or apricots, for any occasion or time of year. They’re simple and fun to make, and even better when shared with family and friends.

Making your own homemade syrup is really very simple, and can be perfect at this time of year as a gift! This syrup is full of spice and Christmas flavours we love, and works beautifully on top of puddings, ice cream, in your morning coffee, porridge, or pancakes.

Florentines are my mum’s favourite biscuit, so she shared this recipe with me to recreate them, but totally vegan. A florentine is a sweet pastry with delicious nuts and fruits as the base, with a layer of dark chocolate at the base with the classic wavy lines. Enjoyed often at Christmas time, you will want to make these over and over again because they never last very long in my home!

It’s party season, and this recipe is ideal as a quick way to put together something to serve to friends and family when you’re hosting a festive gathering. They’re simple, pretty and everyone will enjoy these swirls of flavour. The great thing is that these pinwheel swirls are easily adaptable to your favourite flavours, such as swapping out the pesto for harissa, or the roasted red peppers for sundried tomatoes.

I’m back at it with a puff pastry recipe, because puff pastry always makes a recipe absolutely delicious. These twists are fluffy, crispy, cheesy, salty, with a touch of chilli. The best part is that they are incredibly easy to make, with just a few key ingredients, the option to adapt as you prefer, and ideal if you’re hosting!

Spiced roasted chickpeas are not only a healthy snack, but the perfect thing to serve at a party. Chickpeas are filled with protein, brimming with vitamins and minerals, and legumes are such an important part of a healthy balanced plant based diet. Adding some harissa paste and cayenne pepper makes these chickpeas spicy bites of yum.

Fluffy balls of garlic dough. What could be better? I know that for me, for a long time, baking bread was an area of cooking that I wasn’t ready to venture into. I saw it as complicated and difficult. But since I’ve started baking more, I’ve realised this was a complete misconception. This garlic dough recipe is super simple, and hard to get wrong.

A different, and potentially simpler version of this staple, is making one all in the frying pan. Quick, easy and great to adapt to different portion sizes. Therefore perfect if making just the one portion, or for you and someone else!
