As I’m a woman true to my word, I’ve got another beetroot recipe for you today. This time the beetroot gets a bit of kick from Sriracha and some gentle pan-frying action. It gets served in a delicious brioche bun, and with a side of seriously good homemade fries. What’s not to like? The texture of these patties took a few attempts to get right. Due to the fact that these vegan sliders are made up of veg, they are far less fatty than regular burgers, which is great for the waistline but not so great for making them hold together....

Sticky toffee pudding is our favourite British dessert. It’s very indulgent, rich and aromatic and it firmly belongs in winter. Each bite reminds me of my past London life. It takes me back to long Sunday walks in Hampstead Heath on sunny, winter days followed by a lunch in a cosy gastropub, a glass of red wine and a share (or whole if there was room) of sticky toffee pudding....

This meal is healthy, hearty, and bursting with Greek flavor. The chicken is marinated in a delicious, yogurt-based dressing and then baked to juicy perfection on skewers. Even better, grill these! (Ah, to have a grill and a yard… someday.) The last time I used yogurt as a marinade for chicken was for curried chicken salad. The coolness of the yogurt paired so well with the spiciness of the curry....

Quick note: basil, especially fresh basil, is hard to replace, especially if you’re trying to make a beautiful Caprese salad, or fresh pesto. And it’s much easier to replace the texture than the flavor for this herb. That said, here are the best substitutes if you do need to replace. Fresh Basil Italian basil has a soft texture, and a mild peppery flavor along with hints of sweet, minty notes....

I’m a good cook. I mean, I’m allowed to brag about that… I’ve built a career out of it with this website. But until now, I’ve had the HARDEST time making a good homemade bread. Am I alone in this?

‘I could never give up cheese’ – how many times have you heard someone tell you this once they find out that you are vegan? I always find it awkward and I never know what to say to that, to be honest. I get it, cheese IS delicious and addictive (here is Dr Neil Barnard’s explanation). I myself was a prolific cheese eater before I decided to go vegan five years ago, so I understand loving to eat cheese very much (it didn’t help that we used to live in Greece at the time and feta was our daily staple), but once you learn how much animal cruelty is involved in making dairy cheese, no emphatic, animal-loving person can ignore that, surely!...
