VEGAN PLUM AND CHERRY CAKE – inspired by Swedish cheesecake
This cake-meets-pudding is a deliciously fruity, subtly sweet take on a Swedish classic known as ostkaka (literally ‘cheesecake’). Baked cheesecake is definitely known to be a comforting treat, but it does not have to be heavy or incredibly rich. And Swedish style cheesecakes are not ordinarily baked with fruit, nor is the classic version of…

Try serving it dressed up with a scoop of oat ice-cream or a dollop of coconut yogurt. It’s delicately spiced, moist, peachy fragrant and fruity… and it takes just a couple of minutes to make!…

EASTER EGG DOUGHNUT NESTS- easy vegan, gluten-free decorated chocolate cake doughnuts
Before this Easter weekend officially draws to a close, I want to share the recipe for our homemade Easter treat this year.

GRAIN-FREE, NATURALLY SWEET VEGAN CHOCOLATE PANCAKES (a one-bowl, easy gluten-free recipe)
As cafés and restaurants are off-limits for so many right now, those of us who love a good weekend brunch out surely miss having the option to enjoy one. Thankfully we can still enjoy a long breakfast or lazy brunch at home. And, in the case of this recipe, all it takes is one bowl,…
