About These Recipes

The idea with these recipes is to show how easy it is to make delicious, healthy vegan food that is simple to prepare. I prefer using natural whole food ingredients and do use some tofu, vegan margarine, soy milk and tempeh, but avoid using many meat and dairy replacement foods.

Some recipes I’ve adapted to make them vegan, some I’ve made up and some I’ve discovered and just want to pass on. I’ll link back to the source of the recipe whenever it’s not my own.

The ingredients for these recipes should be available at your normal food store. It’s always good to buy organic wherever possible, for the environment and for your taste-buds!

To see only recipes please search "recipes" in the search function on the right.

Agave Nectar

Introducing….. Agave Nectar - a brilliant substitute for sugar and honey in baking, cooking and beverages!

It comes from the Mexican Agave plant and the consistency of all the types I’ve tried has been like runny honey.

We recently bought it to put on porridge and since then I’ve used it in baking and cooking with great results. In baking it easily replaces honey and in cooking you use it as you would use honey or sugar to sweeten stir fries and curries.

The Groovy Food Company (pictured) say, “It’s 25% sweeter than sugar, and you can add it to cereal, sauces, cakes, tea, coffee, soft drinks and more without tainting the taste. Even better, it’s got a low GI (Glycaemic Index) content, which means it won’t yo-yo your energy levels like sugar can.”

A healthy, animal-friendly, delicious addition to our kitchen!
