Sweet potato chocolate frosting:

2 large sweet potatoes
100g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 200ºC (4 […]

I would like to start by saying I have nothing against gingers (got some ginger hair myself underneath all this hair dye), so don’t go reading too much into this title.

In fact I love ginger, for many rea […]

I know cupcake frosting is typically made with vegan margarine and confectioner’s sugar, which equals mad calories and sky-high fat percentage. I was interested in trying other ingredients to make an equally cr […]

I am very much enjoying my studies, but I won’t lie, sometimes I need to make a beautiful salted chocolate tart to calm myself a bit. Just looking at a slice of this silky chocolate tart makes me feel more s […]

Thank you Mum for all the wonderful birthday cakes I’ve had so far and for teaching me how to make them. If there was but one thing I needed to learn to successfully make it through this life, this is i […]

I must have been a hobbit in another life. I love walking barefoot, I’m fond of things that grow (it kills me not having a garden!) and I’m crazy about mushrooms.

Guys, I just can’t get enough of mushroo […]

One is a student, and one does not have a lot of money, although one is fortunate to have more than others and counts her blessings daily. But one had decided a while ago now to eat cheaply whenever possible; one […]

Mum used to make this cake from a recipe she’d found in something like Elle magazine eons ago (no offence, Mum). The original recipe called for beaten egg whites to be added to the batter. If you’re already sea […]

This recipe totally delivers: it does what is says on the tin. Fudgy, moist but with a good crumb; a deep earthy note that the beets add to the chocolate and makes it justheavenly. No need for ground flaxseed s […]

This smoothie doesn’t get any easier. You can count the ingredients on one hand, it takes about 2 minutes to make, and it tastes like dessert to boot! Instant happiness in a mug :)
Makes one large s […]

I believe with all my heart that if I don’t get a good breakfast–a happy breakfast–I’ll have a rubbish day. My breakfast needs to smile me in the face first thing in the morning, wafting its delicious fragran […]

The original recipe (from Nigella’s new Nigellissima) contains quite a bit of cheese and cream. My take on this Italian recipe is made with butter beans, tofu, and almond milk, which considerably lowers the amount […]

It contains only plant-based ingredients–only 3 plant-based ingredients, might I add, so it’s super duper simple, too–and can be whipped up in under ten minutes. Maybe five, depending on your strawb […]

An overcast, typically drizzly dray in Scotland. I walk out of the cold and into the warmth of my home. It smells like butter, warm hugs, autumn, sugar and spice. Cookies. 
The winter drags on, though it is i […]

This Raw Avocado Cacao Mousse is possibly my second favorite. It is so surprisingly tasty, and you can’t even taste the avocado at all, but the fruit gives this mousse its silky softness, not to mention the vast […]

Serve these Cocoa Chai Hot Cross Buns with hot cocoa, tea, or coffee. These are also delicious sliced in half with a few banana slices sandwiched in the middle.

Gnocchi isn’t really pasta — it’s made of potatoes, which is why I have omitted the traditional boiled potatoes from this recipe. The original recipe uses real pasta, adding pesto, potatoes, peas, and green b […]

Don’t be discouraged if your noodles don’t turn out very pretty the first time around. Mine were short and ugly and very un-noodle-like the first time I tried making them. Practice makes perfect! (Or pretty.) […]

While the winter nights are still chilly, I like to make this tagine. It’s the perfect feel-good food.
If like me, you get home tired or don’t have a lot of time to cook, you can roast the butternut in the […]
