HOMEMADE VEGAN BUTTER {dairy free, gluten free, soy free, vegan}

No Comments

I cannot explain my EXCITEMENT to share this vegan butter recipe!

Pre-vegan, I was a butter lover. I loved it on toast, sandwiches, crumpets, baked potatoes, scones, potato cakes.. you name it. So it’s been an aim of mine to re-create a vegan butter for a while now, and I’ve finally nailed it!

Personally, I don’t like using the supermarket hydrogenated spreads and margarines too often. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with them (in fact they’re brilliant in baking) but I actually don’t think they taste very buttery when spread on toast, etc! Therefore, I wanted to create a slightly healthier buttery alternative – and here it is!

How about spreading some of this vegan butter on a warm slice of my Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread? Mmm.

VEGAN LASAGNE WITH A CASHEW BÉCHAMEL {vegan, gluten free}

No Comments

Lasagne is the ultimate comfort food. A big bowl with a side of peas is the most warming evening meal, especially during the colder months. Therefore, creating a vegan version was an absolute must! Layers of tasty lentil bolognese and creamy béchamel between perfectly cooked sheets of pasta – you HAVE to make this! It takes approximately the same amount of time it would take to make a regular lasagne… without harming any innocent animals! It’s a win win.

This is a very rare savoury recipe from me! If you’re looking for a dairy-free, vegan alternative to satisfy that cheesy craving – you’ve gotta try this! I often make cashew cheese as a dip or sauce to have with meals, but this recipe is sliceable and absolutely perfect for a cheeseboard. The trick is agar-agar powder – I got mine pretty cheap off Amazon! It can be made in under half an hour (aside from setting time) and is so so easy to make. Go go go!
