Vegan Malt Loaf recipe
This vegan malt loaf recipe from Matt Pritchard’s Dirty Vegan cookbook was the one which intrigued writer Lizzie the most. Mainly because it used tea! There are so many plant-based sweet treats available now but a lot of them are rather sickly sweet – this is quite different and also pretty dense so a slice […]
Chickpea Kickshaws with Coconut Sambal
If you’re looking to impress visitors, these chickpea kickshaws will do the trick. Unusual and tasty, these are from Matt Pritchard’s Dirty Vegan cookbook. These tasty little treats make the perfect starter, although they’re so moreish, it wouldn’t be hard to get through a whole batch in one go… The sambal compliments the kickshaws perfectly […]
Red pepper goulash
A hearty warming meal from the Dirty Vegan recipe book by Matt Pritchard. This was one of the first recipes Lizzie made and she loved it.

Drinks to keep you going through Dry January
It’s that time of year again; Christmas has been and gone and you’re left feeling a little pickled and possibly quite delicate so there’s only one thing for it, DRY JANUARY. Yep you think, a month of no booze should see you (and your wallet) right. For the first couple of days you’re fine, but […]
