A perfectly easy to prepare taste of spring that is vegan friendly, lower in refined sugar and higher in fiber than traditional rhubarb crumbles. This puckering-sweet recipe is great on it's own, but also wonderful in the morning served with yogurt, or with non-dairy ice cream as a dessert!

Creamy Winter Leek, Potato & White Bean Soup
Well, the holidays are officially over. This time of year, I often fall prey to "the lag" when the only energy I can muster is to pull on warm socks, curl up by the fireplace and eat soup (all day). Nevertheless, tasks need accomplishing, wild-lings need chasing, and winter vegetables need tending to. It never ceases to amaze me the resiliency of some plants. A few weeks back, we had a very hard ...
SMOKY CHICKPEA ‘TUNA’ ON RYE with SPINACH & AVOCADO
Chickpea tuna has been on my recipe to-do list for ages. Let me just say, lunch was so good today and I'm so happy I finally got around to making a version of this amazing plant-based lunch staple. A big thank you to Food52 and Minimalist Baker for the recipe inspiration here. I remember growing up really disliking tuna; the not-so-pleasant aroma seemed to penetrate every corner of the school ...
