  • Sunday Recipe: Cardamom Rose Coconut Date Delights

    Raw sweets are often based on coconut, date and nuts for good reason: it’s a delicious combination.

A great alternative for almost any creamy sauce can be made from nuts and seeds: like today’s recipe which is based on cashew nuts, which are a…

    There are some French food experiences that a vegan is never going to have, but there are some that we can really enjoy and one of them is drinking a delicious chocolat chaud. This week I went to a place that does a vegan hot chocolate that’s also organic and really, really good: the shop…
