Grandma’s Blackberry Jam Recipe
So I made blackberry jam, and I canned it, which I’ll talk more about at the bottom of this post. Here’s the recipe I used (it was very simple). This is a standard jam recipe but it’s vegan and gluten free: 1. Go pick some blackberries. I got 300g. Blackberries grow wild on brambles. 2. […]

I’m not vegan anymore (but I still eat vegan food).
I haven’t talked about food for a good long while, and there’s a reason for that: I’m not vegan any more. And I haven’t been for a while. You may remember my New Year’s resolution was to get back to veganism again. It didn’t really work out. Between the 9 month mixed state I’ve been […]

Meat Free Monday: Sneaky Ingredients
I just wanted to talk today briefly about the ingredients in food. I know most vegans check their food religiously, but recipes change and vegetarians often don’t actually check ingredients (I’ve only ever met one who did, and he doesn’t bother any more). That’s not a criticism it’s an observation. We tend to rely on […]

Oregano Pesto?? Vegan Pesto??? You better believe it!
I did an experiment yesterday; I wanted to know whether I could make vegan oregano pesto, and whether coriander pesto would be remotely tasty. Ingredients for Oregano Pesto: 1. A tablespoon of dried oregano (can use fresh, in which case you don’t need the boiling water). 2. A teaspoon of boiling water. 3. Half a […]

The Vegan Lasagne (Lasagna) Challenge
So I wanted to know if there was a quicker way to do lasagne than this. That’s how, on Saturday, I set myself the Vegan Lasagne (Lasagna) Challenge. Using just the ingredients I had in the kitchen, I had to make a vegan lasagna in 20 minutes or less (prep time). I had no dairy […]

Meat Free Monday: Vegan Lasagna
Dairy Free Vegan Lasagna (In England, we spell it lasagne, but I’ve used the American spelling as I know most of my readers are American/Canadian): This post contains an affiliate link. This recipe takes some time (I take just over an hour) so do it on a weekend day! What better way to celebrate rabbit […]

Recipes: Easy Vegan Wedding Food For 75 Guests
All the recipes I did for my wedding are below. We got Lebanese, Caribbean and some store bought cakes. As I said in my previous Wedding Wednesday post, we really struggled to find any single caterer in York who would cater to a vegan wedding. I phoned some places, and I didn’t even get quotes […]

Meat Free Monday: More Vegan Cheese Sauce Recipes
Given how well my first two cheese sauce recipes went down last week, here’s two more. They’re a bit more complicated but I’ve made pasta and cheese in all of these methods and can vouch for the fact that it will scratch an itch, even if it’s not remotely nutritious (more advice on making this meal […]

Meat Free Monday: Mac and Cheese Recipes 1 and 2
Pasta and “Cheese” Sauce Before I developed a milk allergy, my favourite food was mac and cheese, although I would make it with lots of different shapes and sizes of pasta (one of my favourites was pasta shells, because they suck up the sauce). Since I’ve been dairy free, I’ve tried a lot of different […]

Meat Free Monday: Kale Spinach And Vegan ‘Cream Cheese’ Canneloni
Recipe A brief note about measurement: I believe that people go a bit mad sometimes with measuring things to the very gram, and that it’s more important to get a feel for the amount of each ingredient and how they interact with one another, which is why I work in cups (the American measurement; you can buy […]
