Warm Lentil and Roasted Tomato Salad
I have just made the most delicious warm lentil and roasted tomato salad imaginable. I’ve literally just finished eating it, and wanted to share it with you right away. I get a bit tired of regular lettuce salads, particularly in the winter when at lunchtime, I want something a little more hearty – so this […]

I love this vegan chocolate mouse because it is the perfect vegan dessert. I’ve been on the look-out for a healthy vegan chocolate dessert that will be tantalizing enough for a Valentine Treat. Here it is. Our wonderful Dream Team Expert, raw food chef – Rachel Carr, has come up with a winner. Enjoy! This is a […]
Gluten-Free Flax Bread
As you may have noticed, I’m on a bit of a gluten-free baking kick right now and the crowning glory of my recent efforts is this loaf of bread. I have baked dozens of them in an attempt to get it absolutely right, and I think I’ve just about nailed it. This Gluten-Free Flax Bread […]
Roasted Beet Orange Hazelnut salad
I have bunches of beets so I decided to make this roasted beet orange hazelnut salad! I can’t seem to stop buying them, and they always come in my farm box. I wanted to have a go at making the ultimate Seasonal Salad – one that is hearty, and that combines different tastes and textures. […]
Meyer Lemon Gluten Free Cake
My latest gluten-free creation was a Meyer Lemon Gluten Free Cake and even though I’m saying it myself, it’s pretty spectacular! For some bizarre reason, I’m on a gluten-free baking roll right now. I just love experimenting with different flours to see if I can create a delicious sponge without using white flour. I wanted […]
Best Gluten-Free Muffins
I have a number of friends who have been told to avoid gluten, so I’ve been experimenting like crazy with all kinds of recipes for the perfect muffin. Too often gluten-free breads and muffins can either be hard and dry, or have a slightly “beany” taste, which I really dislike. I’m not wild about many […]

Healthy New Year’s Alternatives
This is the week when millions of Americans resolve to get healthy – diets are started, fitness regimes are planned, and everyone takes a deep breath in the hope that they’ll be able to stick to their new regime. Sadly – most don’t, because denying ourselves the things we love never works long-term. I found that […]
Pink Beet Pancakes
I customized this recipe for pink beet pancakes a little, as I wanted to use a little less sugar, but the result is still sweet enough because of the roasted beets always slightly caramelize. While my in-laws were visiting for the Holidays, I wanted to pull something really impressive out of the bag for breakfast, […]
Holiday Stuffed Butternut Squash
I’ve been cooking up all kinds of Seasonal veggie entrees for my family for the past two weeks, and their favorite is this stuffed butternut squash, which I think makes a perfect vegan Holiday Meal. If you’re not veggie and having turkey, it also makes for a lovely post-turkey (when you’re sick of the sight […]
