🌟🌟🌟RECIPE ON THE BLOG 🌟🌟🌟I love learning from people who are not only talented and completely amazing but who are lovely to work with too! Sharing space in my kitchen when I have my chef head on isn't always an easy job for me but it was a gorgeous delight with @lauren_lovatt at @rawjuicecamp last year as we spent most of the time dreaming up plates (fabulous), stuffing our faces with delish food (always) and serving our guests the best food we know how to make. 🌟🌟🌟MAKE & EAT THIS WITH ME AT MY NEXT RETREATS. DATES LAUNCHING SOON 🌟🌟🌟 This is one of the plates we PIMPED up: my much loved carrot cake recipe. Although I have eaten these cakes a thousand times I am sure I make them differently each time - the secret is to play and use up the nuts and seeds and fruits that you have in the kitchen rather than panicking about being specific with the recipe. That's how I roll I guess. Have you tried this recipe yet? Or one of your own? Recipe in blog link in bio. I thoroughly recommend the turmeric and lemon cream sauce (wowsers!). Always a permanent feature at camp (we love them with plant based superfood lattes) and now I am inspired to go mental pimping my plates!

**NEW RECIPE: SPINACH NOODLES WITH SAGE & ROSEMARY ** Perfect for winter wellness. Ready for some warmth today I decided that a hot meal was on the cards and I dragged out my big wok from the pantry... I created this super quick recipe that was outstandingly delicious, satisfying and warming. It’s oil free, crap free and plant based. I just don’t do calories but I can tell you that it was under 500 for the meal (if this floats your boat) and that’s with me assuming that the spinach was 300 calories or more (haha)...

** HOW TO CARAMELISE RAW VEGGIES ** All food prepared with love is an absolute delight. And these caramelised veggies are no exception. They’re also a perfect addition to any festive platter. I just love massaging the paste in to these veggies before they get warmed in the dehydrator (or oven) and turned in to deliciously sweet, caramelly veggies (or crunchy chips if you keep them in for longer!) The basic paste is used in several of my plant based recipes. Because it’s sort of a staple. It’s easy and it just works! You can find it in my ebook A Raw Christmas and in my carrot batons recipe (you simply have to try it!) INGREDIENTS 🌟4 parsnips, beetroots or any veggies (especially roots) 🌟 3 tablespoons Udos Choice, olive or Flax oil 🌟 water to blend (1/4 cup) 🌟 2 tablespoons tamari 🌟 4 medjool dates 🌟 4 dried apricots 🌟 2 tablespoons maple syrup, raw honey or other liquid sweetener of your choice METHOD Clean and cut the veggies in to halves or thin slices. Mix the other ingredients to form a batter in a high-powered or personal blender. Pour the batter over the veggies a bowl and massage with your hands until all the veggies are really well covered. Remove and place on dehydrator trays. Spread the veggies over the trays including any excess sticky batter and dehydrate overnight (9 hours) on 43. Keep warm until dinnertime or keep drying until you get crunchy veggie chips (can you wait that long?)

Yes!! It’s sooo nearly Christmas! Everything’s wrapped up n ready and I am immersed in preparations, it feels great! We will most definitely be enjoying these delicious stuffing balls with our festive supper! I love stuffing.. so bad. I could eat it in sandwiches, on anything, by itself, with all sorts… it’s the best! And this recipe really is champion! You can use this base recipe also to make festive crackers in the dehydrator too – trust me. It works on every universal level! Recipe on the blog using bio link: Ingredients Makes 12 – 20 balls 🌟1 white onion finely chopped 🌟 4 medjool dates (stoned and roughly chopped. 🌟 1 cup soaked buckwheat (soaked in filtered water overnight and rinsed and soaked and rinsed for a further 12 hours) 🌟 1 cup soaked sunflower seed mix (soaked in filtered water for 4 hours and rinsed) 🌟 ½ cup organic oats (not soaked) 🌟 1/3 cup soaked linseed (just one hour soak is fine. Just cover the seeds in water. Not too much) 🌟 10 fresh sage leaves (chopped or cut finely) 🌟 1 heaped tspn capers 🌟 1 tspn dried sage pinch salt & pepper to taste You will need: Food Processor Dehydrator or oven Method Start with the onions in the food processor. Pulse to break down (don’t over blend or you will puree it) Add all other ingredients slowly. Leave the mix chunky or as fine as you like it. Use an ice-cream scoop to make flat balls or use your hand to make round balls. Dehydrate on 42 overnight or for 9 hours, until dried but not too crispy (unless you like them crispy!) If using an oven dry for up to 4 hours on 50 (or lowest setting) with the oven door ajar. You’re very welcome. And Merry Christmas! #merrychristmas #vegan #stuffing #recipe #plantbased #nomeat #christmas #bringyourfoodtolife #cheflife #exploreraw #food #food52 #vegansofig #plantbaseddiet #pcos #festiveaf #detox #vegetarian #easyrecipes

Every year I love giving my Raw plantbased Christmas dinner a new look. When plating up I have some funky slate tiles I like to use and I can never get enough of my chef rings for dressing up some grub and making it look posh. It tastes better if it’s been tarted up a bit. Or is that just me? The creamy stash is a beautifully dressed dollop of creamy cauliflower and parsnip mash creamed together with cashew nuts and other flavours. Topping that is massaged kale (ever made love to a vegetable?) mixed with fermented sauerkraut. Topping it all (because it’s so pretty, incredibly enzyme rich which a winter diet really needs and always adds a dash of glamour to a dish) is a stash of mixed sprouts (mainly alfalfa). Eaten together these flavours complement each other so well. I encourage students to reach for all areas of the tongue and to blend tastes when pulling together a recipe. Not only should foods do this to excite the mouth if a dish is going to be enjoyed it really should have multi layers. By that I mean that there should be more than just one hit of flavour. There should be one hit after the next; a creamy aftermath to a sweet, deep initial taste and perhaps a waft of bitterness from seeds like sesame. Beautifully thought out recipes that create well-rounded dishes do this. And this dish does it rather well. Next to the mash stash is a heap of caramelised onions, holding a buckwheat and sunflower sausage surrounded by a porcini mushroom sauce. Want more?
