the gluten-free adventures of a compulsive feeder
Oh so soft & deliciously creamy! I seriously can’t get enough of this tart. It’s so simple, yet feels utterly decadent. The rich yet paradoxically light filling comes from banana & peanut butter – as the name suggests – but the secret weapon here is silken tofu, giving a delightfully smooth silky texture. It’s like a mousse crossed with a cream pie crossed with heaven.

This is a bigger, pimped-up version of my mini ganache bites recipe, which has always been a hit. Not one person has ever guessed the secret main ingredient! The ganache filling is light & soft & melts in your mouth, like a wonderfully moist mousse….
Risotto is such divine, hearty comfort food. I enjoy the traditional ritual of spooning hot liquid into the rice mixture, but when I don’t have time to stand around stirring, I love this easy oven baked method. If you don’t have or like fennel, swap it for another seasonal herb. Lemon is a real flavour star here & will go well with everything….
No food blog is complete without a recipe for chocolate chip cookies, right?! Quick, simple & not too sweet, these nutritious little biscuits are lovely eaten fresh, or dunked in a cup of tea. Tahini acts as a rich, mineral-laden binder, a creamy compliment to sweet maple syrup….
Triple nut butter, I hear you ask? Yep, that’s because there’s peanut butter in all three layers of this decadent slice (you can swap it out for almond butter, but I’m a PB freak from way back) The base is a simple nutty date ‘dough’, the luscious middle layer of caramel involves dates & nut butter blended until smooth, while the chocolate coating is a rich blend of cacao, maple and – you guessed it – nut butter!…
A hearty, smooth, one-pot wonder! Simple to make, this soup is thickened with red lentils, and gently spiced with curry powder & ginger.…
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….
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….
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….
