Butter Bean Stew and Dumplings is a very hearty gluten-free, vegan dinner. Perfect when you need a warming, filling and nutritious meal. Dumplings are a really hearty, warming topping to a stew. Baked so they become slightly crispy on the top and soft and pillowey on the bottom. Heavenly! I love the way the dumpling […]

Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Walnut Tart
Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Walnut Tart is the perfect winter supper. This is kind of like a quiche but with no bacon or eggs in sight. Totally gluten-free and vegan, this tart is fabulous hot or cold. It is robust enough to handle being ferried around in a cool bag with a bottle of wine […]
