Recipes/Blog All of my family members go crazy for anything sweet and berry. They say it’s a perfect combination.

I wanted to create something plant-based that would work in the same way. The vegan ricotta in these fritters is so versatile and can be used for lasagna, cannelloni, and so much
Recipes/Blog Carbonara sauce is one of those non-vegan delights. It’s a dish I enjoyed before moving towards a whole-foods, plant-based diet. There was something so divine about the saltiness and egg flavoured, creamy sauce. A true Italian cook wouldn’t classify this recipe as Italian. In fact, I think most Italians would think this recipe is
Recipes/Blog As a kid, I have such fond memories of watching my favourite TV show of an evening whilst devouring half a packet (ok, maybe a whole packet –shh!) of Arnott’s Mint Slice.

Recipes/Blog I’m a total fan of any kind of cookie that is covered in chocolate, but when I created my own, wholefoods cookie, that is better than any store bought biscuit, then I’m one happy lady! I’ve been working on a few biscuits lately that are not loaded with butter and sugar. For all my
