The Best Of May Is Here! πŸ’œ


Friends, hello.

It's that time again! How are we wrapping up May already?

Charlie turned 7 last week and very much approved of his birthday cake:

I've just finished photographing a very tasty and easy no-cook recipe that's going to become such a summer staple. It will be winging its way to you very soon. Make sure you've got some canned chickpeas ready to go! πŸ˜‰

I also made my No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake for the first time in ages and totally forgot how amazing it is. If you've never made it, you really should! Here's a quick pic of the leftovers:

And now let's take a look at some of May's highlights!

"I have been vegan for over 2 years, and by far this is the best recipe I have tried so far! Amazing! So creamy and lemon"y". Bravo!!!!" - Rochelle on Broccoli Pasta.

"Thought I had made way too many, but these got snaffled up straight away and were such a hit!" - Michelle on Greek Fries.

"This is THE best tofu I've ever made in 8 years! Not kidding. So easy to make too. I ate almost 1/2 the pan with my fingers just waiting for it to cool down." - Lyn on Nutritional Yeast Tofu.

"So I have to be honest - I looked at this recipe and thought "yeah, na this isn't gonna be great," but I've always found your recipes to be reliable, so I thought I would just trust the process and give it a go and WOW was I wrong - it was AWESOME! Cheesy crunchy popcorn chicken vibes - and I think the usually weird tempeh flavour added to the umami cheesiness of the whole thing. Thanks for another great recipe. This is a keeper." - Leonie on Nutritional Yeast Tempeh.

Hi there, Reader A generous tumble of crispy, crunchy croutons makes any soup or salad better, and by using up odds and ends of stale bread, you also reduce food waste. A win-win situation! I've had a crouton recipe on my website for a while, but I've recently added an air fryer version. It's perfect for the warmer summer months when you don't want to turn on the oven, and you can have them prepped and ready in under 10 minutes! I'll be honest and say that usually when I make these, the vast...

Hi there, Reader Thank you to all of you who left reviews on those recipes I shared recently that needed a little love! I really appreciate it. I thought it might be fun to take a look at the recipes on my website with the most five-star reviews. Not 4.5's or 4.9's. Straight up five stars! I don’t take your reviews lightly. I’m so grateful I get to bring recipes to your table, and hearing how they turn out in your kitchens is the best part. If you’ve been on the fence about trying something...

Hi there, Reader A few days ago, I was tidying my hard drive and came across an old recipe I once shared (years ago) exclusively on Instagram. Crispy golden Greek-Style Fries! I made them for our dinner that night, and they were really delicious, so I thought I'd get the recipe up on my website. These delicious seasoned fries can be made in your oven or air fryer; however, when using an air fryer, be cautious of overcrowding. I recommend either halving the recipe or cooking in 2 batches to...
