When your friend comes ‘round for the day, and brings home-made gin! 💗 (at Margate, Kent)

My yummy super-quick and easy vegan Bolognese rolls are made from basic supermarket ingredients, and guaranteed to put a smile on the face of all who try them!

No roast dinner is complete without a goodly pile of roast veggies, right? These maple roasted root vegetables are so easy to make, and utterly scrumptious!

Perfect for using up veggie scraps, this simple home-made vegetable stock makes a great base for soups etc. and is a great, nutritious drink if you're poorly.

Ready in 8 mins, and only 174 cals, this creamy vegan tomato bisque owes its smooth velvety texture and richness to B Vitamin-rich sunflower seeds.

This vegan old-fashioned English tea loaf is easy to make, jam-packed with plump, moist, sultanas and raisins, and is the stuff of delicious childhood memories!

My great big list of festive vegan drinks will solve all your seasonal drink dilemmas; whether you drink alcohol or not, there's something for everyone here!

Ribollita is a hearty vegan pottage, full of seasonal vegetables, and bulked out with bread. Easy to make and incredibly frugal, it's a perfect winter warmer!

This vegan caprese il Tricolore is one of my all-time favourite salads at any time of the year. It's light, it's refreshing, and really simple to make.

Tart and tangy, crunchy on the outside, and soft and juicy on the inside, these vegan fried green tomatoes are the perfect way to use up any unripe tomatoes you may have lurking around. . Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistlestop Café is one of my all-time favourite films, and I’ve watched it about a hundred times. OK, maybe six or seven. An argument could be made for eight. Anyway, my point is, I’ve watched it quite a lot. And each time, I’ve wondered what actual fried green tomatoes taste like. . Presumably, pretty darn good, given how popular they seem to be. . After years of wondering, I finally got to try them in 2013. Not in Alabama. Not in New Orleans. But in Chiang Mai, Thailand. . Now, at this point, I should point out that the closest I’ve been to the American deep south is Los Angeles, which is to say not that close, and I’m absolutely certain that there are people in Chiang Mai who would tell me that the food at Miguel’s is as close to being authentically American/Mexican as raw phad Thai is… well, Thai! However, it doesn’t matter – the food tasted great, and didn’t make me ill. Surely that’s all that’s required? 😉 . I make no claim that these vegan fried green tomatoes are the same as you’d find in Alabama; for example, the cornmeal I have access to here might be vastly different. The sunflower oil I use to fry them in may impart a different taste. But I’m confident that you’ll love them regardless. .

What could be better than vegan Nutella straight from the jar? . Apart from an intravenous drip. . Nutella liqueur, of course. Vegan Nutella cream liqueur. . Or, more properly, vegan chocolate hazelnut cream liqueur. . Oh. My. Glob. . Guys, guys, this is amazeballs. . Back in my pre-vegan days I loved cream liqueurs; Baileys, Amarula, Mozart Chocolate Cream… but once I became vegan, they became off-limits. But at Christmas, when we spend time with friends and family, and the liqueurs come out, I can’t help but have a few pangs. . OK, it’s happened once. Or maybe twice. But my point is that cream liqueurs just feel like an essential part of Christmas, don't they? . Assuming you have a degree of self-control, and don’t just quaff it straight from the bottle (and no one would blame you if you did), this liqueur is fantastic as a base for cocktails or poured over vanilla (n)ice cream. It’s also pretty good drizzled over mince pies. . Grab the link for the recipe in my bio. You can thank me later. ;-) ----> https://www.yumsome.com/vegan-nutella-cream-liqueur/ . . . . #veganholidayfood #christmasfood #christmasfoodporn #veganchristmas #veganfoodisnotboring #veganfoodie #whatveganscook #veganfoodlovers #vegansofig #easy2bvegan #veganfoodie #veganfoodblogger #foodbloggers #huffposttaste #thekitchn #f52gram #food52gram #buzzfeedfood #thevegansclub #veganeatsplease #yumsome #veganfoodporn #veganrecipes #veganrecipeideas #veganrecipeshare #christmasdrinks #nutella #vegannutella #nutellaliqueur @cookbookplugin #cookwithcookbook

Perfect as gifts for Christmas, birthdays, or just to say "I love you", these vegan raspberry chocolate truffles are simple to make, and bursting with flavour. Keep them for yourself, or present them to your nearest and dearest - either way, they’re guaranteed to be a hit! . A while back, Foodie Flavours sent me a selection of their professional-grade flavourings to try out. Some I haven’t been too keen on but others, such as this raspberry one, are fantastic. . As we’re now in the run-up to Christmas, I’ve been thinking about edible gifts for our families and friends; I’ve made chutneys and jars of ajvar, and will be making some Romanian treats too. Obviously lots of Turkish Delight will be made, and a whole bunch of these raspberry chocolate truffles too. . Making and giving chocolate truffles as gifts is kind of a thing for me, so I’ve been playing around with different Foodie Flavours, and these raspberry ones are not only my favourite but my chief guinea pig’s (aka amato mio) too. . Making these truffles is simplicity itself, and only requires a handful of ingredients. Plus, the real beauty of these is that if you don’t want to add any flavourings to them, they are still 100% amazing, ‘naked’, as it were. .

These crunchy, tangy vegan fried green tomatoes are the perfect way to use up any unripe tomatoes you may have lurking around.

This time of year can be cold and damp and miserable, but for me, there are two things which make me forget all that, and really and truly appreciate midwinter; looking out of my kitchen window, and seeing snow-topped Alps, and mulled wine. . Mulled wine, or kuhano vino as it’s called in Slovenia, is surely the greatest winter quaff known to humankind. I adore it, I really do (and yet curiously, I only ever want to drink it during the winter). . Speaking of winter, Slovenia is, in my opinion, THE best place to be during the cold season. It’s the stuff that fairy tales are made of. In fact, living in Slovenia for a couple of years was a quite literally childhood dream come true for me. And my heart sorely misses it now I am back in Britain. . Because there are some odd people around who don’t actually enjoy wine (I know, right!), I’m also including a traditional French recipe for Cidre Chaud à la Cannelle (hot cinnamon cider). . For both of these recipes you can sub juice for alcohol. .

Aromatic, sweet, and soft, my vegan rose-flavoured Turkish Delight is really simple to make, and is a luxurious treat any day of the year… not just at Christmas time! . As a child living with my grandparents, Christmas meant one thing… well, actually, it meant a lot of things – but what I remember most vividly is being allowed to have a snowball (advocaat and lemonade), and the welcome appearance of the large round wooden boxes of rose and lemon Turkish Delight that made their way into our home every December. . For some reason, we only ever had Turkish Delight at Christmas time but for me, those soft, icing sugar-covered, delicately-flavoured rose and lemon cubes of confection heaven were the best thing ever. Better than the family visits, better than all the Elvis films on TV, better than the huge pillowcase-full of presents at the end of my bed. . Plus, I was a huge fan of the Narnia stories – and in particular, Jadis – so I guess it was only right that I should love Turkish Delight so much. . Today would have been my gran's 108th birthday, and I can't think of a better way to remember her than by sharing a recipe of something she loved so much! .
