Two types of hummus
I’m getting loads of lovely cucumbers from the plants in the greenhouse already. Sugar snaps and strawberries too. Hummus goes well with sliced veggies and you can simply use those you like.

Read MoreLovely taste of spring… it’s asparagus season
While living in London I learned eating seasonably. I loved looking forward to newly harvested asparagus in the spring, followed by the cherry season and then delicious, fresh strawberries.

Read MoreLemon pasta a la Sophia Loren, vegan and gluten-free
I’m guessing Sophia Loren would get dizzy if she found out about my experiment with her famous lemon pasta recipe.

Read MoreLemon curd
When publishing a cookie recipe the other day I promised to give you a recipe of a lemon curd you can use as a filling instead of the jam. It was my daughter in law’s idea and those are now my favourite cookies. I added a bit of chopped nuts on top, and it made […]

These cookies are made from the same dough, but how the flavouring is included is a tad different. The vegan version has a bit more course texture, so getting the dough to obey you is a challenge.
