Hi there, Reader One of my favourite things to do is bake bread, in particular sourdough. My husband jokes that I love Michael Bubbly (my sourdough starter) more than him! 😆 I've learned so much over the years, and felt like my sourdough bread recipe should be updated to reflect that. So here we are with a newly updated post with lots of little video snippets to show you the different steps. I include some free printable sourdough schedules to go alongside the recipe as an incentive for...

Hi there, Reader Tofu + box grater + some simple seasonings = Endlessly versatile golden, crispy and chewy Shredded Tofu! My nooch tofu is my most popular tofu recipe, but honestly, I'm finding myself making this shredded tofu more often because of its versatility. Use this shredded tofu just like shredded chicken or pulled pork, and even as a ground meat sub in dishes like bolognese. I give loads of suggestions in my post, but my current fave way is tossed in BBQ sauce, then stuffed in...

Hi there, Reader I published this Vegan Digestive Biscuit recipe back in 2016. It's the definition of an oldie but a goodie! Fun fact (in case you're wondering what they are) - Digestive biscuits are the most popular biscuit in the UK, with around 80 million packs being sold every year! 😱 That's a whole lot of biscuits! Anyway, I re-tested the recipe this past week and made some very small tweaks. Mainly because I noticed a mistake with the cup measurements that had somehow been there the...

Hi there, Reader Oh, we've been enjoying this Applesauce Cake! It's loaded with warming and fragrant spiced apple flavour, and smothered in buttery, brown sugar icing. Just perfect for fall! This one is really easy to make and perfect for weekend mornings, afternoon snacks, or just because you deserve a cozy slice (or two). I shared my applesauce recipe recently, but store-bought applesauce works just as well. I hope you love it! GET THE RECIPE More Fall Cakes: Vegan Pumpkin Cake "The best...

Hi there, Reader My 2nd new recipe this week. Who even am I? I'll credit my back (which is feeling much better at long last) for the sudden burst of recipe inspiration and desire to get my proper camera out at long last. Today, I am bringing to the table my new crunchy, ultra-clumpy Pumpkin Seed Granola. It tastes and smells like fall, and I've been loving it with some dairy-free yogurt and banana for breakfast. It's great for snacking straight from the jar too, and is naturally nut-free, so...

Hi there, Reader It's my birthday tomorrow, and it's a big one (the big 5-0 to be exact😳). I know age is just a number, but this one is hitting hard. I'm going out for a special meal tomorrow night (I'm not a party person), but I will be cooking up some of my favourite recipes to treat myself tonight and over the rest of the weekend, and thought it might be fun to share what I'm making. Please, nobody suggest that Mr A Virtual Vegan does the cooking. I don't want this birthday to be my last,...
