Baked Onion

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of October 2023 This dish goes well with anything such as potato, rice, quinoa, buckwheat, or couscous.  The sauce is as easy to make as it is versatile.  The prunes give it a sweetness while the vegan feta and onion blend their flavours together magnificently.

Vegan Meat Pie

  Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 9th of October 2023   Although there are many great vegan meat pies on the market, I miss the homemade variety.  Since making a pie is so easy if you are willing to cheat, I thought I would put this simple but tasty pie together.  It has a puff pastry crust with a vegan meat and gravy filling.

English Apple Cake

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 2nd of October 2023   What better way to celebrate a festival or just the weekend than with a slice of English apple cake?  This cake is flatter than most cakes, but is spread out more in a larger baking tin.  You can cut it into squares or into fingers. Notably, it is very easy to make and so tasty!
