Peach & Blueberry Shortbread Crumble

[VEGETARIAN WITH VEGAN OPTION] I love a crumble! It’s such an easy pudding to whip up, and requires no particular forward planning. The fruit fillings vary depending on what’s left in the fridge, but I rarely stray far from my regular crumble topping, full of 

Shepherdess Pie

Shepherdess Pie

This is pure vegan comfort food at its finest. I’ve been making variations of this since I first turned vegetarian (terrifyingly, twenty years ago) and I was trying to replace a Sunday family favourite – shepherd’s pie. I have no idea when the vegetarian (vegan,

Southern Corn Bread

This is a classic. It’s the perfect way to mop up your plate of chilli or any spicy stew really – and as it’s winter, there’s plenty of those going on in this house! It is also now my vegan topping of choice for my 

Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala)

Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala)

I love this recipe – it was the first curry I ever made! I have no doubt it’s not quite ‘authentic’, but who cares when it’s got so much going for it. It’s super healthy, naturally vegan and I’ve been making it for about a
