Agua Fresca

The easiest, cheapest, and quickest way to upgrade your beverage offerings at your next gathering. Agua fresca, or fresh water, is typically an infused ice cold water-based beverage. I've shared some of my favourites here to whet your appetite and try some concoctions of your own!

Plant Based Lox/Salmon

Plant Based Lox/Salmon

Instead of traditional nibbles, I've started doing mini bagel stations at get togethers. My plant based smoked salmon is always the star of the show, served with smashed avocado, vegan cream cheese, and all the trimmings! The perfect idea for Super Bowl next week!

Spiced Bean Balls

Squash Stuffed with Tempeh and Chestnut

Squash Stuffed with Tempeh and Chestnut

A vegan alternative to an impressive roast dinner, this is perfect for any day where you are craving a hearty meal. I used acorn squash but any small squash, or even courgette/ zucchini would work. Any leftover stuffing can be repurposed as a base for other dishes eg Shepherd's Pie or lasagna.

Rhubarb Crumble Bites

Rhubarb Crumble Bites

Just a photo of rhubarb takes me back to my childhood- summers spent in my garden in Kent playing with the dog,. Especially Sunday lunch when we would have a roast dinner followed by rhubarb crumble with custard or ice cream. This recipe is gluten free, vegan, no oil, and free from refined sugar

Timesaving Tofu Meatballs

Timesaving Tofu Meatballs

These may be the quickest 'meatballs' I've ever made! These little beauties low in fat, low in salt, high in protein, and are ready in a flash. Serve in a roll as a meatball sub, with pasta and marinara sauce with baked potatoes, or as an alternative to falafel.

Terrific Tortilla Española

Terrific Tortilla Española

Did you know that the word 'tapas' means 'lids'? These dishes were devised to fit on small plates used to cover drinks. I love tapas, but trying to make some of these dishes both vegan and oil free requires a little creativity. How does one make an omelette with no eggs? With chickpeas, of course!
