My dear friend who hates all things vegan and constantly renounces me for only “eating air” said these were actually half decent and that I should share the recipe. Much as I hate to say he’s right, doing so means I get to bake and eat them again, so, yeah.
This year’s Great British Bake Off saw the first ever Vegan Week, and whilst I was disappointed by the constant refrain, “It actually tastes alright,” the delectable treats baked throughout the series have inspired me to flex my baking muscles once more.

On those kinds of days, I eat pie. And, it just so happens it’s National Pie Week! So, thank … More Vegetable pie
Scrolling through my posts recently, I realised how gross my photos made my food look.
