Madeira cake with vanilla icing
My wife was having a tough morning at work today. She’s got a bad foot and is in a lot of pain. I made her breakfast of chopped avocado, tomatoes and spring onions with a slice of malted brown toast. She looked so sad and asked if there was any cake. Well, of course, there…
Lemon cream pie with chocolate pastry and fresh strawberries
On Thursday we visited a local farm for some ‘pick your own’ strawberries and raspberries. We ended up with far too many strawberries so I needed something to do with them. I found this recipe here and tweaked it a little to switch the full-fat milk for a non-dairy oat milk. In the original recipe…
Pear and almond tart
Pears and almonds go so well together. This dessert is so yummy it lasted less than 2 hours. I’ve based this on a recipe from Michel Roux Jr. making some changes to keep it non-dairy. I will try a vegan version without the eggs one day but I wanted to do it this way first…
Rhubarb in grenadine syrup
I have a glut of rhubarb from the garden at this time of year. Rhubarb crumble is nice and I’ve made a lovely chutney with it before too but I wanted something different. This recipe is simple and quick but best of all it tastes fantastic. I’ve found it goes really well with chocolate ice…

It’s a light coloured syrup, similar in consistency to treacle/molasses. To make it more ‘Christmas’ I’ve included some warm spices often…
No-egg meringue, vegan
Aquafaba, the miracle alternative to egg white. No, I couldn’t believe it either so I thought I’d try to make meringues with it. After all, meringue is the one dish where you MUST have egg whites! Right? What is aquafaba? It’s the water from tinned peas/beans. I used chickpea water from a tin I got…
Christmas spiced rice pudding
Yes, it’s only November but I’ve already got my Christmas tree up and fancied a rice pudding with some seasonal flavours so here it is. This is the tough bit…waiting for the dish to finish cooking so I can grab a photo………I’ll watch Pointless for a bit I think. Serves: 4 Ingredients 200g pudding rice…
