If you love lemon desserts then there is no question you will love these babies of mine.  Created with instant zest, these slices will bring a smile to the dullest of moods.  Great with a cup of Earl Grey to round off a Sunday afternoon tea.  Or as a dessert to round off a light meal.  Fairly easy too make too.  I think they make a great gift too, and would be great for potlucks [...]

This is simply one awesome, sublime, decadent, smooth treat.  Back in the day I used to enjoy my Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut chocolate, and I have always been partial to an occasional truffle.   This creation provides both in one slice.  It’s very rich, and simply too good to be true !  Also easy to make, which makes it even more appealing. INGREDIENTS 200g non-dairy dark chocolate (get a good brand) 1 to 2 Tbsp molasses [...]

A rich yet light pancake.  I have made many versions, but this is by far the best – it’s got a crunch about it, it’s got a beautiful golden colour to it, it’s light in texture, yet rich in flavour, it’s better than egg pancakes I used to make and I am so excited to introduce you to the best vegan pancakes around (I have included a gluten free recipe here too – by substituting [...]

I don’t often make muffins or cupcakes (these are a cross version of both), cakes and such like, but when I do, I sin in the kitchen with delight, with much passion and enthusiasm.  I have been meaning to create a cappuccino cake for many months – so I made the time to create these wonders !!! I am really quite excited by the taste of these little coffee dreams, so much so that, without [...]

I know that there are a couple of certainties in our household – that anything chocolate gets the thumbs up, and that comfort puddings are always in demand at this time of year.  So, as preparations for the festivities get under way, it’s been my job to have some surprises up my sleeve to serve up when the orders come through to the kitchen ! And here’s one of them. This is for people who [...]

A most delicious dessert – reminiscent of the wonderful Parisian ‘tartes’, and a touch of British custard filling.  Here is a wonderful combination of flavours, with a great gentle base.  Serve to impress guests, or as a treat for yourself and family.  It is moreish, and you will love it, as it’s also easy to make. TIP : There are a few vegan custards powders on the market, google and see.  Here is one, and [...]

This is a wholesome, tender, delicious, simply bursting with flavour, chocolate bread & fruit pudding.  Inspired by memories of my childhood in Malta, where bread pudding was an occasional treat, which I relished.  So here is a veganized and modified creation of this traditional Maltese pudding (known locally as ‘pudina’), with a twist, and a chocolate dance treat for your culinary pleasure.  Enjoy. TIP :  For a decadent touch – serve with homemade cashew cream [...]

I had a mixture of 3 nuts and I wanted to make a flourless cake. I am nuts over nuts, and coconuts too, so here I have combined ingredients to bring you 3 exciting layers of a semi-raw cake, which is very rich in taste, but moreish and enormously chocolaty for that extra choco-kick.  I hope you enjoy it, and my only tip is leave it in the fridge overnight, and place in the freezer [...]

Mint & Chocolate – a solid marriage made to last.  A super after-dinner meal, particularly if you have guests, and have put a lot of effort into preparing dinner.  Well, this is smooth and absolutely sublime.
