Notes

Recipe Creator :

A big thank you to Chef Ani for sharing this recipe for a dairy-free parmesan alternative. For more amazing recipes from Ani see her Website or Instagram page.

3 ingredients I always have in my kitchen:

Cashews are an absolute necessity in my kitchen. It is often the secret ingredient that adds a creamy texture to dishes without the need for dairy products.

Fresh lemons are a beautiful ingredient to have on hand. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to baked goods, soups, and salads and discover a bright citrusy note that takes dishes to the next level.

Almond flour is another staple pantry ingredient that can be useful in many vegan recipes. I love the tender crumb that almond flour brings to cookies, tarts, and cakes. Many of my recipes use almond flour because it is so delicious. It is also gluten-free, which is perfect for gluten-free baking.

What's your go-to comfort food recipe that you believe showcases the delicious possibilities of vegan cooking to sceptics and newcomers alike?

My go-to comfort food recipe has to be my Vegan Roast Turkey.

It makes a beautiful centrepiece and if served with mashed potatoes, vegan gravy, and roasted vegetables, is the perfect comfort meal.
