This Vegan Spaghetti Bolognaise recipe has its own kind of love language going on. It’s talking in fried mushrooms and simmered tomatoes and singing in cloves and carrots and dancing in red wine and mixed herbs. Oh yes, you’ll feel the love with each mouthful of this moreish vegan dish. Nevermind the spaghetti, you can…

Roasted Butternut and Red Pepper Soup
You may tell from the number of soup recipes on this website, that I really enjoy the idea of nutritious liquid in a bowl (or cup in this case). The toasted and buttered piece of ciabatta may also play a role in my soup-loving ways, for what is a soup without something to dunk in…

Delicious Date Balls
I’ll admit upfront, I’m a “Date Ball” convert. Love em. Before changing over though, the thought of eating a Date made my face contort and my shoulders hunch. Dates! Ugh! Those are dried, sticky and overly sweet fruit with a gooey texture that moms try and give their kids to get their kilojoule intake up, right? …
Red Lentil and Lemon Soup
