Recipe: Roast Cauliflower & Chickpea Salad

At the moment it seems to be a tie between soups and salads as to what I’m enjoying cooking the most. I love the seemingly endless variety with both of them, with the added bonus that I can whip up a big batch that will see me through most of the working week for lunches. This salad came about after wanting to roast some cauliflower and the combination of cumin-coated cauliflower with a tahini-lemon dressing seemed too good not to try! Luckily, it turned out as delicious as I hoped and proved to be a hearty salad to get me through the afternoon at work.

Recipe: Banana Choc-Chip Quinoa Flake Biscuits

If you like I Spy Plum Pie on facebook (and if you don’t, maybe now is a good time to start?!) you might have seen these biscuits pop up last week, so I thought I should share the recipe! I bought some quinoa flakes for the first time a few weeks back and have been using them to make porridge in the morning as it’s just gotten too cold for my normal smoothies. I decided to try something different with the flakes and I had heard they make a good substitute for flour in biscuits and cakes, so took some inspiration from a bunch of recipes I came across and came up with these! They turned out pretty delicious too!

Baking for Allergies

Food allergies are something we seem to be becoming increasingly aware of, even if, like me, you are lucky enough not to have any. As someone that loves cooking, and particularly baking, for others I am often catering for people that do, so need to adjust my recipes accordingly. Obviously for egg and dairy allergies you can always seek out a vegan recipe, but sometimes it’s not easy to find one, or you want to adapt a recipe you already know, so I thought I would share some simple alternatives I have discovered over the years to make your baked goods allergy friendly.
