RECIPE HIGHLIGHTS

This recipe took me by surprise as it only contains apples (compote) as a wet ingredient. But it worked like a charm. I’ve cut it in 6 which made generous portions. It would feed 8 to 10 people esaily.

Ingredients

6 servings

250g flour

200g caster sugar

1 tbsp cornflour

2 tsp bicarbonate of sodium

1 pinch salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

50g cacao powder

500g apple compote, unsweetened

2 apples diced

Method

1- Preheat the oven to 160. Grease a 25cm square tin (I’ve used a round one)  with vegan butter.

2- Mix all the dry ingredients together.

3- Add the apple compote and mix gently.

4- Add the diced apple and give it a good mix.

5- Put in the tin and bake for an hour.

6- Remove from the oven and wait 20 minutes before removing it from the tin.

A British pub classic. This is the best sticky toffee pudding, not because I’ve made it. You can replace the pecan with nuts or not add any. Same for the pear in the sticky sauce.

Vegan foie gras

There is no need to force-feed your cashew nuts with Armagnac to obtain a cruelty-free vegan “foie gras” surprisingly close to the real one in terms of look, texture and taste.

Healthier Pizza Dough

Apart from laziness and lack of ingredients, nothing should stop you from making your pizza. This recipe is taken from the excellent Bosh! Healthy Vegan book offers a healthier alternative than a classic dough recipe as it uses a 50/50 mix of white and wholemeal flour. The white flour gives you the texture and flavour of a traditional pizza base, but the wholemeal flour makes it higher in fibre with a lower GI index.
