I made these easy vegan cookies, which were a hit, for the last London Vegan Potluck. Like with most dishes I bring to potluck, I throw a bunch of stuff in a bowl and hope it works (to anyone from the London vegan community who reads this, I confess you…
Baked Goods
Strawberry Chocolate Cookies
Strawberries are one of the many foods which are only worth my while fresh when they’re in season and local. Call me a snob, but these a fruit that do not ripen properly when picked early; this means those which come from a distance rarely make the cut when it…
Banana Bars with Peanut Butter Icing
This is a simple and wholesome banana cookie bar, a perfect on the go morning snack (as much as I hate the concept of food on the go). These dairy free banana bars are thin and light, with minimal fat (especially if you avoid the peanut butter icing) and have…

Classic Cut Anise Cookies

Vegan Scottish Shortbread

Baking Christmas cookies with my mother can’t be excluded from these precious recollections of my childhood, despite the fact that the older…

German Black and White Cookies
The last time I visited my family in the U.S. my mother passed along an old German baking manual and I recently got around to taking a look at its inspiring if somewhat dated recipes. A German book printed in the early 1970s at a guess, there’s no such thing…
Vegan Zucchini (Courgette) Bread
Here’s the problem: I love baking Why is that a problem, you say? Baking, despite what people think, is not easy. I gawp at those who claim to be incapable of cooking yet can create never-fail cakes, cookies with perfectly moist centres and crisp edges, breads which were exquisitely crafted….
