This is my long-time fall back chunky chocolate chip cookie, enriched with oats and soft brown sugar. I initially posted this recipe in 2012, so it is definitely time to revisit this firm favourite and update the recipe. I used to call them Old Town Oaties as we used to live in Clapham Old Town, and I made these a lot for visiting friends, and they were always hugely popular. Having revisited the recipe and made some tweaks, I can confirm that these are still hugely popular! But now i’ve updated them to Loaded Oaties because that’s what they are – soft and oaty chunky cookies absolutely loa ..read more

There’s nothing like a mousse is there, but in my opinion there is a real lack of good vegan mousse options. The light as air texture of a mousse makes for the perfect dessert after a filling meal, and it’s a pudding that i’ve always had a fondness for, especially fruity flavoured mousses. Jump to Recipe I have an amazing chocolate mousse recipe in my cookbook that uses aquafaba, but it’s difficult to get the right texture out of aquafaba if you’re not using chocolate. After all it’s the cocoa solids that give the mouse structure and you don’t end up with a puddle of mousse rather than an air ..read more

Crisp and buttery these are traditional Easter biscuits but made dairy-free, egg-free and vegan friendly. The thin fluted shortbread biscuits are packed full of mixed spice and fruity currants and finished with a scatter of caster sugar. Whilst chocolate is all the rage at Easter, no Easter time tea platter is complete without some of these biscuits. They may sound less extravagant than some of the Easter creations you see, but what with piles of sticky hot cross buns and chocolate eggs as far as you can see, something a little more restrained like these deliciously moreish little biscuits a ..read more

Jump to Recipe Every year I like to try and create a new vegan hot cross bun flavour and often scour the shops to see what’s ‘in’, and this year blueberry seems to be everywhere.

Apple muffins are great at any time of day – they’re delicious for breakfast, make a great snack, or even work as a nice pudding if warmed and served with custard. This recipe for vegan apple muffins is one you definitely need to bookmark. Jump to Recipe These dairy and egg-free muffins have a wonderful light texture and the apple add a surprising depth of flavour and some juicy interest in the light fluffy sponge. I’ve chosen to make these just flavoured with cinnamon but you could leave that out, adding vanilla instead. Or how about a handful of juicy sultanas to give an old school baked a ..read more
