Lotus Biscoff Slice
- 30 ' Prep. Time
- 12 Serves
I discovered the glorious, crumbly and delightful Lotus Biscoff during an afternoon tea, where I was scanning the ingredients list of a range of biscuits presented to me. I was about to give up and just sip on some black tea (yum!), when I discovered that these delicious treats are not only vegan, but versatile enough to make a range of vegan desserts.
Vegan Noodle Soup
- 30 ' Prep. Time
- 4 Serves
It's getting colder in Sydney, and slowly my fridge is getting stocked with wholesome winter ingredients to keep my *always cold* body warm.
This soup is really easy to make, has a small kick to it and is can be easily adapted to suit you spice preferences. Cruelty free and great for weeknight dinners.

Healthy Zucchini Brownies
- 30 ' Prep. Time
- 12 Serves
I always seem to have zucchini left over, and rather than making yet another zucchini-based dinner (all respect to zucchini dinners, they're great!) I like to make the most of what I have by making my Healthy Zucchini Brownies.
They're really easy and low in sugar, but if you like your desserts to taste sweet feel free to add more sweetener to the recipe. I usually make a big batch and freeze it, but these brownies taste particularly good warm from the oven.
Healthy Berry Slice
- 30 ' Prep. Time
- 8 Serves
As regular readers know, dessert is my favourite meal of the day. I often think about how surprisingly easy it was for me to become vegan, and yet how difficult I find it to skip dessert. Sure, dessert may not be the best thing for my teeth or waistline, but eating animal products has such a huge impact on the world around me, cutting it out and continuing to do so is easier than ever. As for dessert, we forge on!
My Healthy Berry Slice makes dessert much less sugary but still all kinds of sweet. The recipe uses very little sugar (but you can certainly add more, to taste) and is packed with wholesome, healthy ingredients. It freezes well and tastes great as a morning tea treat.
Vegan Crepe Cake
- 30 ' Prep. Time
- 8 Serves
Made with my lovely friends from Nature's Charm, this recipe is easy, tasty and the perfect celebration treat. My Vegan Crepe Cake combines a stack of crepes made using my classic recipe, layered with Nature's Charm Coconut Whipping Cream and topped with Nature's Charm Chocolate Fudge Sauce (links to products in the list of ingredients).
You can make the crepes in advance to save time before a special event, and serve with your favourite vegan ice-cream. Totally cruelty-free and delicious!
Vegan Fish and Chips
- 45 ' Prep. Time
- 2 Serves
My first time cooking with the magical banana blossom was a SUCCESS! The texture of this mysterious flower is perfect for vegan fish, and I'm already planning all of the other recipes I can adapt to include it, like curries, cutlets and buddha bowls.
Made using Nature's Charm Banana Blossom, my Vegan Fish and Chips recipe is really easy to follow and pretty quick to make, and serves (pardon the pun) as such a lovely, comforting and indulgent dinner or lunch. Between tempeh, tofu, jackfruit and banana blossom, it's an exciting time to be a vegan!
Vegan French Toast
- 15 ' Prep. Time
- 4 Serves
Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and hot straight from the pan, weekend brunch just got a whole lot better. My Vegan French Toast is so easy to make it's ready in 30 minutes, and only requires a handful of ingredients you probably already have. While it's not the healthiest breakfast option, it is made with wholesome ingredients like banana, almond milk and linseed meal, can be created with that stale bread you're not sure what to do with, and makes for a perfect weekend indulgence. I drizzle mine with maple syrup but feel free to choose your own favourite toppings and go nuts!
Vegan Bangers and Mash

Black Forest Cake (vegan & gluten free)
- 01 h Prep. Time
- 6 Serves
With a sweet cherry filling, a creamy coconut layer, a soft chocolate sponge and a rich ganache drip, my version of the famous Black Forest Cake is the dessert your next dinner party, festive event or birthday celebration needs. It's vegan and easy to make, and can easily be made gluten free for your Coeliac friends. All of the elements can be made in advance and the cake and ganache can be frozen, making it stress-free as well as delightfully delicious!
Vegan Sticky Date Puddings
- 01 h Prep. Time
- 8 Serves
Although I try to keep a healthy, clean and wholesome diet, some occasions call for a rich, delicious and utterly indulgent dessert, and my Sticky Date Puddings with Whiskey Caramel Sauce falls right into that category. This dessert is made by combining a soft, sweet date pudding, a creamy vanilla buttercream, crunchy gingerbread snaps and a thick, whiskey infused caramel sauce. Served with vegan ice-cream, it's guaranteed to impress anyone with a sweet tooth, and is the perfect treat to present at special occasions, festive celebrations and dinner parties.
Spirulina and Edamame Green Bowl
- 45 ' Prep. Time
- 4 Serves
As a vegan cook, you can never have too many salad, veggie or buddha bowl recipes, especially if you make a lot of your own meals or enjoy entertaining. My Spirulina and Edamame Green Bowl is packed with all sorts of healthy goodies, and feel free to experiment with additions of your own. If you can't find spirulina noodles, use another type of noodle like vermicelli or udon.
Vegan Apple Pies
- 1 h Prep. Time
- 4 Serves
Apple pie is one of those classic, hearty and comforting desserts that often takes me back to a particular time, place or memory. It's so yummy when served warm with a scoop of ice-cream, and there's not reason vegans have to miss out! My recipe is easy to follow and makes four individual pies or one small share pie, and uses the technique I read about years ago (I wish I remember where!) of microwaving the apple filling prior to cooking the pie in the oven, giving the apple an extra chance to cook through and leaving you with a soft filling and crunchy crust. It's another one of my recipes that also freezes well, so make a batch before a dinner party and reheat in the oven just before your lucky guests arrive!
Chocolate and Cinnamon Babka
- 02 h Prep. Time
- 8 Serves
Babka always makes a wonderful dessert, morning tea snack or sweet treat for sharing. It's made up of that winning combination of bread and chocolate, which are two of my favourite things, and is so versatile allowing for different types of fillings, spices, and flavours. If you're not planning on serving it for a group, cut it into pieces, place in the freezer and heat when you're ready to enjoy (the chocolate will melt a little too - yum!).
Easy Rhubarb and Apple Tart
- 01 h Prep. Time
- 8 Serves
Sweet, tart (pardon the pun), fruity and very easy to make, this dessert is a great one for high teas, parties or any occasion that needs a bit mor...
Kelp Noodle and Papaya Salad with Peanut Dressing
- 40 ' Prep. Time
- 4 Serves
This is one of my FAVOURITE salad recipes, because it combines all of my must-have elements: it's healthy, crunchy, packed full of flavour and vegan. If you don't have kelp noodles you can substitute them for vermicelli, but I'd highly recommending trying to get your hands on some as they provide such a lovely texture to this crowd-pleaser. Make a big batch and enjoy it throughout the week, and definitely serve it at your next dinner party with some grilled tofu, smashed avocado and sweet potato fries. Yum!

Matcha has so many health benefits, and is being incorporated into desserts, cakes, lattes and all sorts of treats these days. This is a super fast, tasty and wholesome recipe that makes a convenient sweet snack. Store at room temperature, in the fridge or in the freezer until ready to eat!
Choc Chip Peanut Butter Cupcakes
- 12 Serves
Perfect for a celebration, my Choc Chip Peanut Butter Cupcakes are sweet, soft, moist, rich and totally delicious. They're easy to whip up and look fantastic as part of a morning tea or party platter, and in addition to being egg free, dairy free and vegan, can easily be made gluten free too. Once baked they can be frozen until ready to serve, or stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

- 05 h Prep. Time
- 4 Serves

Tomato and Black Bean Soup
I'm always inspired to create new soup recipes as the weather gets cooler, but honestly, I could eat this soup all year round. As someone who loves hearty food, I eat soup for two reasons: firstly, to feel warm and full, and secondly, because it provides a solid excuse to eat toast. This ticks both boxes, and is made using delicious black beans, veggies and spices. Make a big batch and store it in the fridge, and have your sourdough ready.
Strawberry and Coconut Friands
- 25 ' Prep. Time

Tofu Rice Paper Rolls with Peanut Sauce
- 01 h Prep. Time
- 12 Serves
Rice paper rolls are one of my go-to meals when I want something healthy, fresh and light, but at the same time filling and extra tasty. They take a little time and patience to create, but make a fantastic meal for dinner or lunch and are a hit at parties and events. You can use any fillings you have on hand and be as creative as you like, too!
This recipe includes a peanut dipping sauce which can be made in advance, and used in tonnes of other recipes or used as a sauce for your favourite vegan protein. Yum!
Miso and Brown Rice Balls
- 01 h 35 ' Prep. Time
- 20 Serves
Crunchy, tangy and full of protein, my Miso and Brown Rice Balls are the perfect freezer snack that can be added to almost any veggie base. Most of the ingredients will probably already be in your pantry, and once you buy a packet of miso paste you’ll find yourself using it in everything from salad dressings to stir-fries. Don’t be afraid to throw in your own combination of spices, too!
Vegan Opera Cake
- 03 h Prep. Time
- 12 Serves
I love coming up with decadent, extravagant and indulgent desserts, especially when the results are so fabulous! My Vegan Opera Cake combines a fluffy sponge, a creamy buttercream, a rich coffee syrup and a smooth chocolate ganache. It takes time, concentration and effort, but the results are well worth it. It's looks beautiful as the feature of a high tea, morning tea or party platter, and can be made in advance and frozen until needed. It's a rich and complex cake that will hit all the right spots.
*Try not to confuse the layers. Your opera cake should be made up of (from top to bottom): croustillant, sponge, coffee syrup, buttercream, sponge, coffee syrup and ganache.
Lentil Shepherd's Pies
- 4 Serves
Whether you're hosting a dinner or just looking for a winter warmer, nothing is more hearty than a pie (or better, many pies!). My Lentil Shepherd's Pies are healthy, made with veggies and spices, free of cheese, dairy and meat, and taste fantastic. You can prepare the veggie mix in advance and even freeze it, making it an ideal dinner if you don't have a lot of time. You can experiment with the veggies you have in the fridge, and even top with sweet potato or pea mash if you'd prefer.
Easy Banana Celebration Cupcakes
- 15 ' Prep. Time
- 16 Serves
Banana cupcakes are a classic choice for the vegan baker, as the banana makes a wonderful egg substitute, and adds a lovely moistness (sorry, I kno...
Crunchy Corn Fritters
- 10 ' Prep. Time
- 4 Serves
Another day, another vegan breakfast! Corn fritters used to be my go-to order at breakfast cafes, but it's tricky finding a place that does them without eggs, and many even have added cheese and sour cream to this crunchy delight. As regular readers know, I've recently committed to creating a vegan breakfast menu, with versions of my favourite non-vegan snacks that taste as good as the real thing (maybe even better, but let's not brag). Serve these with a tangy relish, vegan sour cream or heap of smashed avocado!
Super Soft Hot Cross Buns
- 03 h Prep. Time
- 12 Serves
I was speaking to a Ukrainian friend who asked what kind of food we enjoy in Australia during Easter. I thought about it and said, 'We don't really have any Easter specific food, except for maybe chocolate eggs.' Shameful! How could I forget about the magnificent hot cross bun!
Store bought varieties of this soft and filling treat usually use dairy and eggs, and have loads of sugar added on top of the already sweet dried fruit. My Super Soft Hot Cross Buns are not only free of dairy and eggs, but are lower in sugar than your average bun. They take patience and a keen eye, but you'll be so satisfied when you smell your glorious warm buns in the oven (that sounds weird but I assure you I'm being genuine), and feel a fabulous sense of accomplishment. In my experience, any kind of bread or pastry making is really rewarding.
You can add extra dried fruit, mixed peel or whatever you have on hand, and more sugar if you like a sweet bun. They taste divine when warmed up, but can store in an airtight container for a couple days and freeze well. This recipe makes 12 big ones, but you can divide the mixture differently if you want them smaller - just heat them up when you're ready to eat, add a schmeeeeer of vegan butter go for gold.
Fluffy Vegan Pancakes
