Ultimate Lasagna

Lasagna has always been a favourite food of mine, and since going vegan I have experimented a lot to make a lasagna that I am truly content with. A lasagna that comes out the oven and I have to stop myself eating it all before I portion it out! I have now got there, andContinue reading “Ultimate Lasagna”

Cashew Cheeze

After eating Luigis vegan pizzas where they top them with their homemade cashew cheese, I just had to try make some myself at home! This cheese is awesome on top of a pizza. It’s not sticky like vegan cheese alternatives, and makes food cheesy while being a healthy alternative. After I’ve spread the sauce onContinue reading “Cashew Cheeze”

Chocolate Oreo Truffles

These little chocolate truffles are too good! A recipe that is popular with many people I know, you only need 3 basic of ingredients to make them. You can also get creative with the flavour and the decoration, making them a win for any occasion.

I use flora buttery) Put yourContinue reading “Gingerbread Men”

Vegan Donuts (& donut balls)

These are so good, but still in early stages of development. The donut balls are pretty bang on though. So delicious, they disappear when I take them into the workplace! (I’d like to experiment with the ring donuts, filled donuts, and frosting.) Ingredients: 50g vegan butter 120ml soy milk 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil (andContinue reading “Vegan Donuts (& donut balls)”

Chocolate Cake

The best chocolate cakes I’ve made are with this vegan recipe. Super soft, fluffy and irresistible. It’s a win win! Switch up the frosting by using chocolate cake spreads (plenty of accidentally vegan ones) layered throughout. Ingredients: 300ml soy milk 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice 150g vegan butter 3 tablespoons of golden syrup 275g selfContinue reading “Chocolate Cake”

Luigi’s Vegan Pizza

One of our favourite takeaways, and favourite vegan pizza is the infamous Luigi’s in Dundee. Fantastic food (wide menu including a vegetarian and vegan one) and great service. What makes their vegan pizzas stand out is their homemade cashew cheese. My favourite topping is their vegan pesto and sun blush tomatoes! (Order the dough puffsContinue reading “Luigi’s Vegan Pizza”

Banana Pancakes

I love these pancakes! More than the plain ones I used to make. These are so soft and delicious, and have all the banana goodness within them, I haven’t bothered to try another vegan recipe for pancakes. Ingredients: 156g self raising flour 2 tablespoons of caster sugar 1 teaspoon of baking powder pinch of saltContinue reading “Banana Pancakes”

Creamy Broccoli & Mushroom Tagliatelle

This is my first favourite creamy pasta I’ve made since going vegan. Pretty easy, you could throw in some vegan bacon into this dish too. Ingredients: half head of broccoli sliced into smaller heads. half pack of button mushrooms chopped into small pieces tagliatelle (desired amount) 1/3 red onion chopped garlic (preferred amount) 3-4 heapedContinue reading “Creamy Broccoli & Mushroom Tagliatelle”

Triple Chocolate (Biscoff) Tiffin

Tiffin’s are so versatile, you can make them crunchy, sticky, light, heavy, and use a variety of ingredients to change the flavour/look. This is a rich, chocolate, caramel tiffin using biscoff and oreos. What makes this vegan is the type of butter and chocolate I use. There are many great ‘milk’ and ‘white’ chocolate alternativesContinue reading “Triple Chocolate (Biscoff) Tiffin”
