Move over coconut water, there’s a new, cool plant water kid on the block. I speak, of course, of maple water, which is popping up all over the place lately. Hell, if Vogue magazine can feature it, so can we… I’ll be honest, maple water doesn’t taste of much really but that has its benefits….
Vegan Cranberry Tiffin
Tiffin is a sweet little treat made with chocolate and broken biscuits. It originated in Scotland (I’ll admit I’ve just learned this) but came into its own when it met my kitchen. Ha, not really, but this quick and easy recipe definitely gives traditional tiffin recipes a kick in the butt. I won’t even go…
Pistachio and Cardamom Marzipan
These vegan treats are delicious, super simple to make and would be lovely Christmas gifts. I don’t think I can really pretend that a food containing nearly a quarter sugar is healthy, but pistachios are great sources of mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin E and iron. Just make sure you share them around and don’t eat them all. (Believe…
Vegan Chocolate Coconut Treats
If you’re not a fan of coconut look away now. These are the most delicious, most coconut-y, vegan, chocolatey sweet treats ever. These also demonstrate just how much we get from the humble coconut. They contain creamed coconut (the kind comes in a block), coconut milk, dessicated coconut and coconut essence. The dark chocolate balances the…
Vegan Roast Beetroot and Lentil Paté
You know we Veggie Runners like to pack a good lunch box. You also know that we love a bit of beetroot, especially the roasted kind that is scientifically proven to make you run faster. Finally, you will be well aware that tasty, versatile dishes make us very happy indeed. This Vegan Roast Beetroot and…
Our Favourite Vegan and Vegetarian Cookbooks
The trend for healthy eating shows no sign of slowing and there are some fantastic new books on the market to help us all cook exciting food while doing our bit for the planet too. It’s been a bumper year for vegan cookbooks and this list brings you the best of them so you don’t have…
Samphire and Cashew Cream Flan
Samphire is my new favourite food. Official. It’s a good source of Vitamin C, so sailors used to eat it to ward off scurvy, an obscure enough reason to love any ingredient, IMHO. It’s also fresh-tasting, delicious and a great vegan source of calcium. I like the way Jane Rowney describes it in Weekend Notes:…
Hazelnut and Date Breakfast Smoothie
As you know, we Veggie Runners love a hearty breakfast. Indeed, sometimes we love breakfast so much we have two. True fact. Occasionally, though, life gets in the way – flights to catch, early meetings, even earlier runs, that kind of thing – and the best option is to have a breakfast shake ready to…
Green Tea, Kale and Cacao Nibs Smoothie
This Green Tea, Kale and Cacao Nibs Smoothie brings together some of the healthiest ingredients on the planet. If you don’t feel zingy after drinking this, you probably need some serious help. Or another serving – we’d definitely recommend trying that option first. This smoothie is bursting with goodness, is rich in anti-oxidants and can help…
Chocolate Orange Popcorn Energy Bars
Yes, you heard that right! These are some of the yummiest hits of vegan foody madness that you’re ever likely to lay hands on. Popcorn is having a big moment these days, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. It’s positively trendy and there are dozens of gourmet (really?) flavours in the shops right now. No one has…
Quinoa and Pomegranate Salad
We could have called this Quinoa and Pomegranate Salad a superfood salad but we don’t like to follow the pack. It is, though. It’s food, it’s salad and it is straight-up super, packed full of ingredients that nutritionists wax lyrical about because they are so unbelievably good for you. Let’s call it a really, really great…
Turmeric and Citrus Spiced Almonds
Turmeric is the ‘It spice’ of the moment, and with good reason. The curcumin that gives it a shocking yellow colour has been linked to health benefits ranging from heart-health and digestion-settling, to even fighting cancer. The only way it can be improved upon is to combine it with the nutritional ‘It food’ – almonds!…
