the gluten-free adventures of a compulsive feeder
Smooth, creamy & packed with green goodness! This is an iron & chlorophyll- rich one pot meal, perfect for warming the cockles of your heart.
The hearty base comes from potatoes, the rest is a hefty mélange of green vegetables. Nutritional yeast & parsley are added at the end for that extra creaminess & vibrant green. I usually add all sorts of spices to my soups, but this time I decided to let the lovely veggies shine for themselves….
This is simple, nourishing, protein-packed comfort food, which can be whipped up super fast. The only spices are warming cumin & turmeric, though chilli is optional if your tongue needs a tingle. Spiced onions & garlic are introduced to lentils & beans, then coconut milk marches in and captivates them all with its magical creamy touch….
This is a new riff on my crowd-pleasing Blue Bounty Bites. Soft & succulent, these not-too-sweet treats are infused with earthy matcha (green tea powder) and punchy peppermint, then smothered in a layer of dark chocolate. Matcha contains vitamins A & C, and – like dark chocolate – it’s rich in antioxidants. So this isn’t only a delicious treat, it’s also damn healthy….
Only a handful of ingredients, and oh so good! Grated sweet potato is bound with an ever-versatile chickpea flour batter, while the feisty kick of kimchi sends each bite to next level goodness….
Warning: these will call to you from the freezer, like a raw, ridiculously healthy choir. Soft, melt-in-your-mouth goodness, made with only a handful of nutrient-dense ingredients. Nothing complicated here, all you need is a mixing bowl or two….
Hearty! Nourishing! Protein packed! Flavoursome! Beans & quinoa are gently simmered in tomato & spices until a soft, thick stew emerges. I’m loosely calling this a chilli, though it’s not fiercely hot at all – there is some cayenne, but the other spices are smoked paprika, cumin & coriander….
Black beans! I know, right? Not the most intuitive addition to a smoothie, but a great one. It adds thickness & richness – and of course, a good plant protein punch. Don’t worry, the other flavours shine through & mask any overly bean-y flavour….
I have a serious crush on this cake. It’s so moist & stuffed full of fruit that it’s almost a pudding. Plant-based & gently spiced, there are no eggs or dairy here, just pears encased in a simple naturally sweet batter….
This is a plant-based mash-up of butter coffee – instead of coffee, I’ve used matcha, and instead of dairy, I’ve used coconut butter. Oh, and I’ve served it cold. The result? Chilled, creamy, smooth, rich, green deliciousness….
This is a cute, light, vegan loaf, speckled with sunflower seeds. While I do love the ritual & slow art of yeasted breads, I equally love the quick simplicity of a soda-based loaf. In this recipe, all the ingredients are loaded into a bowl, mixed well, then baked until wonderfully golden….
