Rich, Vibrant Beetroot Soup is gluten-free, vegan comfort food at its best. The most amazing colour combined with the incredible deep, earthy flavour is wonderful. Served hot in winter and cold in summer this is a soup for any occasion. Rich, Vibrant Beetroot Soup is inspired by borscht. There is much discussion as to where […]

Vietnamese Summer Rolls
I adore Vietnamese Summer Rolls. They are one of my favourite summer gluten-free, vegan dinners. Last summer I think we ate them several times a week all summer and still did not get fed-up with them. They are the ultimate summer weekend lunch or dinner. I love to bring the filling to the table with […]
Beetroot and Millet Mega-Salad
It’s the height of summer, you want something that tastes delicious, is light, healthy and nutritious and that something is Beetroot and Millet Mega-Salad. Wonderfully free from gluten and totally vegan! Beetroot is such an amazing ingredient: raw beetroot tastes as good, if not better, than cooked however, both are amazing; I love the colour […]
Pan Fried Asparagus with Olive Oil and Lemon
Pan Fried Asparagus with Olive Oil and Lemon is wonderful. Simple, tasty, gluten-free and vegan. In-season asparagus is amazing. It really is not worth buying asparagus that is not in season.

Panelle with Spinach, Carrot, Caper and Lemon Salad

Fennel, Radish and Orange Salad
Gluten-free vegan Fennel, Radish and Orange Salad makes great use of small, delicate and slightly sweet fennel bulbs and all their aniseed flavour. Fennel is an underused salad ingredient. It is light and crunchy and has an amazing aniseed flavour that works so well with mustardy radishes and citrus sweet oranges. With the juice from […]
Carrot and Lemon Soup
Carrot and Lemon Soup is early summer in a bowl. It is gluten-free and vegan and light, full of flavour and makes seasonal produce sing. I have to confess I am not a fan of cooked carrots – they are often way too sweet for me and unfortunately remind me of school dinners I refused […]
Elderflower Cordial
Elderflower Cordial is summer in a glass. Light, sweet and full of the scent of summer (and naturally gluten-free and vegan). The elder tree begins to flower in hedgerows (and wherever the tree crops up) in early summer and this is the best time to collect the flower heads – just before they are all […]
