Mutton, Celeriac and Sweet Potato Pie
This dish is my own take on a classic Shepherd’s Pie, using some slightly more interesting vegetables for the mash and mutton instead of lamb for the mince. Mutton is a fantastic source of protein and essential micronutrients, it tastes just as good as lamb - just slightly less sweet - and in my opinion, it is a more ethical and sustainable meat to choose over lamb. The recipe is gluten-free, and I made mine cow’s-milk-dairy-free, but it can readily be made without any dairy.
Baked Flat Peaches with Toasted Hazelnuts and Mascarpone
This baked flat peaches with mascarpone dessert is absolutely delicious. It’s such an easy recipe and quick too. Simply bake the peaches, and toast the hazelnuts in some coconut sugar, then top with mascarpone and a drizzle of honey. I wanted to create something with all the textures - juicy and chewy, soft and creamy and sweet and crunchy. The combination is just divine. You don’t need to use flat peaches, you could use any stone fruit for a similar effect. It’s also a good dessert to make if you need something simple and gluten free!
Hazelnut Twix Bars
Hazelnut Vegan Homemade Twix Bars that taste as good as they look and sound. These are dairy-free, gluten-free and refined-sugar-free! When it comes to sweet treats like this, I’m always going to be an advocate of balance and not making them a routine thing. I also recommend enjoying these straight after a savoury meal with plenty of protein in, as they will be digested with that meal and this will help to reduce any spike in blood sugar levels afterwards. There are still multiple health benefits to the natural ingredients in these so I will always recommend homemade over shop-bought processed foods.
Carrot, Swede and Orange Cake
A gluten free, veggie-packed take on your traditional carrot cake. Due to the coconut flour and ground almonds, the end result is a fairly dense but deliciously moist loaf. This is a great recipe for the winter months when there’s an excess of root vegetables around and you are looking for other ways to use them up.
Beetroot Chocolate Brownies
This has got to be one of my most tried and tested recipes and they really are divine. Beetroot is naturally very sweet and grated into this mix, it bulks up the batter and limits the need for a gluten-rich flour. These are rich, moist and chocolatey - give them a go and you won’t be disappointed.
