Plum & Lime Cake
This is a lovely little crowd-pleasin’ cake, quick & simple to whip up. The batter is spiked with tangy lime zest, while the topping is juicy tart plums – using tinned plums means you can enjoy this treat year-round. No fresh limes? Try lemon! Equally zestily delicious!
…Three Ingredient Cookies
Cute, quick, not too sweet, simple, delicious! And yes, only three ingredients to make the actual biscuits. Got ground almonds? How about maple syrup? And nut butter of your choice? Then you’re good to go!

Aubergine Salad with Sesame & Herbs
Aubergine is one of my favourite summer vegetables (well, technically it’s a fruit, right?) thanks to its awesome versatility, and this recipe is no exception: you can simply serve this as a side salad, or smear it onto crackers, use it as a sandwich filling with salad greens, have it on toast for breakfast…
…Tangy Lemon Tart (GF, vegan)
This was a trial recipe that instantly became a family favourite. We all love citrus & this wee tart packs a hefty lemon punch! Served chilled, it’s soft, jelly-ish, zesty, encased with a not-too-sweet simple pastry. I’m in love.
…Ginger Fruit Loaf
I was trying to meditate one evening, but my monkey mind kept wandering off & I found myself thinking about trialing a fruity loaf spiked with ginger. The next morning, my daughter got up & said “I dreamed about trying to make a ginger fruit cake!” That was it. Game on! This simple little loaf is quick to make, satisfyingly spicy & delicious when eaten warm & fresh.
…Smashed White Bean Spread
Chunky, savoury, tangy, creamy, delicious! I’ve seen spreads or dips similar to this being labeled as vegan ‘tuna’ – while it obviously doesn’t taste anywhere near fishy, it does give you an idea of how you can use it, like a classic tuna/mayo combo. Finely chopped gherkins give that satisfying sour burst, balanced by crunchy celery & creamy tahini.
…Chocolate Sweet Potato Whip
With only 5 ingredients, this is a versatile wee recipe – you can use it as a luscious cake frosting, or team it up with chia pudding for a simple rich dessert. And who doesn’t love a healthy sweet treat where the main component is a sneaky vegetable?!
…Fermented Simple Socca
I have a serious crush on chickpea flour. So savoury, so satisfying, so versatile! I’ve been making chickpea fritters for years, always blending the batter with vegetables then frying them, but it’s taken me this long to discover socca, the European traditional flatbread. Since socca doesn’t have an overwhelming taste of its own, it’s a perfect blank canvas for loading up with flavour.
