I can’t believe that this day has finally come. The day when I can say loud and proud that we’ve written a book. A beautiful cookbook that I can’t wait to share with you all. This book has been a labour of love. Hours and hours have gone into these recipes. From the simple ideas in the beginning to the making and taste testing to get each and every recipe just perfect for you all. I am so grateful to my family for all of their support in the making of this book. Without Daddy Journey, the photos and technical side of things would never have been achieved. Without my amazing and very talented brother, we would never have been able to bring you such a creative piece of writing. My beautiful weegans and my super amazing mum have allowed me to spend hours in the kitchen with no complaints eager to taste test every offering without bias. Without them, our recipes wouldn’t have been through such rigorous testing and have pushed me to strive for the best of the best for you all to enjoy. This book is full of over 50, whole food plant-based recipes. They are all […]
🎶Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue…🎶 OK, so it doesn’t contain anything blue but when you see this beautiful dish simmering away in front of you, you will really see the rainbow in it.

I am about to make one hell of a statement. Brace yourself for this. Are you ready? This is simply… take a deep breath… the best recipe I have ever made. There, the cats out of the bag! Now, I don’t say this lightly, as in my (not so ) humble opinion, I’ve made lots of amazing and very delicious recipes. However, this one is a baby that I am super proud of. This is the recipe that replaces that centre stage item in a Sunday roast or dinner party. It is the recipe that you can eat hot or cold for lunch, dinner or both. It’s the item that everybody loves so much that it’s going to end up wowing our Christmas crowd this year! Yes, it really is that good. Not only is this bad boy the mother of all things vegan delicious, it is also a powerhouse when it comes to packing a nutritional punch and an abundance of protein for you and yours. Loaded with nuts, seeds and whole grains this beauty of a dish will kick any average nut roast to the curb. Come on then, let’s crack on with it. It would be just […]
You know there are just those days when you need comfort food? It is usually in the cooler months but sometimes when you’re feeling tired, run down or just really blooming hungry you get a craving for a huge bowl of steaming, home cooked food. This is the recipe for you for when you are feeling the need for a hug from the inside. It is so warming, delicious and bursting with mouth-watering flavours, I promise you, you won’t be disappointed by this little piece of slow-cooked heaven. I have always been a fan of a good casserole. Even pre-vegan. I was concerned that after starting on a plant-based diet that these types of meals which usually centre around meaty flavours would somehow be lacking. Boy, was I wrong! The combination of the minted gravy along with the tender dumplings leave you feeling fully satiated. The removal of meat and dairy from this dish helps you feel light after eating. I think this dish would be the perfect meal to feed to both vegans and nonvegans alike and would make a great transition meal for people at the beginning of their journey as you really don’t miss the meat at […]
The other day I was looking through my ingredients in the kitchen only to realise that I had somehow managed to buy three lots of potatoes? Not sure how I managed this but this left me with the challenge of not serving up the same meal three days in a row! (Love cooking challenges!!) I know, I know, I’m a kitchen geek.🤓 Now, as a family, we can’t get enough of a typical potato salad but I think even the hubby would look at me like I’m stark raving mad if I popped it on the table several days in a row. Raised eyebrows and whispers that mummy had finally lost the plot spring to mind. So, on day one we produced the usual potatoes, vegan mayo and spring onion. On day two we roasted them with garlic and rosemary but on day three I was truly stumped. What else can you do with new potatoes, seriously? Then an idea struck me. Many moons ago (pre-vegan) a Polish friend of ours made an egg and leek salad with peas, mayo and gherkin in it and it was truly delicious. I thought the potatoes would give the same ‘bite’ as egg […]
I love this miso noodle soup!! It is full of goodness and it is one super (I refrained from saying souper) speedy recipe. There is something about broth style soups that give you that ‘feel good’ factor. They feel nourishing and comforting. Perfect for when you need a great big food hug! This was a bit of an experiment for me really as I had just bought some miso because I had heard it’s something us vegans should eat but I had never tried it before. Miso is a paste made from fermented soya beans and it’s a great source of iron, calcium, potassium, B vitamins and protein. After I did a little research I soon realised that miso was perfect for soups so I set about trying out a few recipes. I wasn’t sure if the kids would go for one with so many green veggies but sometimes you just have to use what you have am I right? I couldn’t have been more wrong though as the kids loved it! Maybe it was the novelty of eating out of jars but they both sank the lot. (Happy mummy!). That being said this recipe is so versatile and you could chop […]
