Eggplant Parmigiana [gluten-free, dairy-free]
My all time favourite vegetable has got to be Eggplant. It’s just such a versatile vegetable; my favourite is to have it cut into thick ‘chips’ and baked with fish on a friday night.

Vegan Sausage Rolls

Regularly crumbling and falling apart and frequently lacking flavour. Commercial vegan sausage rolls are often filled with fillers and binders, making them less attractive to a real food nutritionist like myself. The key thing … Read More
