Chilli Sin Carne
Great to Take to a Pot Luck Gluten free, vegan Chilli Sin Carne can be as ‘hot’ as you dare. When I was at university we were regularly served ‘Vegetable Con Carne’ which was vegetarian – there was a misunderstanding of the Spanish language there – but we knew what it meant. It wasn’t a […]
Potato and Olive Tart
Make Ahead of Time – Easy and Substantial I’m a big fan of tarts and this gluten-free, vegan Potato and Olive Tart is one of my favourite supper dishes. It’s super quick and easy and if you use ready-made pastry it’s even quicker and easier. This is delicious. I also love this cold for lunch […]

Carrot Parsley and Butter Bean Soup
Carrots and parsley and butter beans are the perfect match in this soup. Carrot, Parsley and Butter Bean Soup is light, full of flavour and makes seasonal produce sing from the rooftops. I have to confess I was (and still am sometimes) not a fan of cooked carrots – they are often way too sweet […]
