Vegan rum truffles I realise there's a fundamental problem with this recipe - it's based on leftover cake, which means there's an assumption that you'd have a cake and then think 'well, I don't fancy the r…

Things I've made that I didn't make up - pickles, jams and piccalilli
Inspired by a post on Vegan Dad's blog entitled Stuff I've Made But Did Not Make Up, I thought I'd share with you lucky little lot a few recipes that I've made that have worked out for me, on the offchance you ha…
This is another recipe I made up whilst trying to veganise something else. I had a bit of a yearning for clafoutis, and ended up with something that's a cross between a cheesecake and a bakewell tart. Either way, it's sug…

This recipe comes courtesy of my boyfriend, who has the dubious honour of being the guinea pig for any new recipe I'm working on. I've been messing around for a few days in an attempt to create a recipe for this blog. My …
Some things don't always look beautiful but are really quite amazing. Take the echidna, for example, a rather odd looking creation with spines and a questing nose that has a rather unlikely but fascinating sex life . Take the…
