Colourpop Garden Furniture Project, Part One

Our garden has been looking very neglected for a long time. We do try, but green-fingered skills don’t seem to come naturally to us, even the grass is stubby and scruffy! I’ve planted so many flowers and plants only to have them devoured by slugs and add to that some neglectful watering and you have a recipe for disaster.Bearing this in mind I decided to … Continue reading Colourpop Garden Furniture Project, Part One

Tasty Tuna & Rice Salad

I love to make dishes where everything is chucked in together, not only does it save on washing up (which is clearly a good thing) the variety of textures and flavours can really lift a few simple ingredients into something absolutely delicious.

Deliciously Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

You can’t beat a chocolate chip cookie, crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle and with the perfect ratio of cookie to chocolate chip, they’re surely dessert perfection.

The recipe is super simple … Continue reading Deliciously Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

When scrabbling around an empty fridge minutes before you need to run out of the door, food sculptures aren’t really top of the … Continue reading Decadent Dairy Free Banana Cake

A Pizza the Action

We needed a quick lunch today so decided to rustle up one of our speedy favourites – tortilla pizzas made with tasty Violife dairy free cheese. This is always our go-to as not only is it free of dairy but also soya too, plus it melts in a wonderfully gooey way which is obligatory when it comes to pizza. We topped ours with tomato purèe, … Continue reading A Pizza the Action

Soup, Soup a Tasty Soup

No, it’s not carrot and coriander (or chilli chowder for any Mighty Boosh fans) but a medley I have christened Spiced Butternut Munchkin. Bursting with sweetness from roasted butternut squash and munchkin pumpkins and livened up with a kick of cumin and chilli powder, it’s the perfect warmer for a winter’s day, plus it’s soya free, dairy free, egg free, gluten free and peanut free … Continue reading Soup, Soup a Tasty Soup
