First, a quick aside: I use Endoca CBD oil in this recipe purely for flavour alone. There simply isn’t enough quality research to unequivocally state any of the medical claims about CBD oil are true. It is, however, a product garnering more attention, and so the research pool will hopefully…

Iced Sweet Thai Lemongrass Drink น้ำตะไคร้
There’s something about sugar in hot climes that is especially enticing, especially in the form of an ice cold glass of syrupy sweet liquid. It comes as no surprise then that this lemongrass drink is a popular refreshment in Thailand! In Britain we are usually much less fortunate with the…
Easy Home Made Pecan Hemp Matcha Milk Shake
I received a bag of hemp seeds a sample once and it was one of those ingredients that I kept intending to use but every time I looked at it I though “yeaaaaaah, no” and deep fried something instead. Since I’m currently trying to declutter my kitchen in order to…
Lemonade in Quadruplicate
Recently, I was lucky enough to enjoy a meal at the renown Vedge restaurant in Philadelphia. As I’d driven (3 hours each way just for the meal!) I was sadly unable to drink my wino self under the table. Yes, I was forced to browse the menu for abstainers, and…
A Tongue-Tingling Fizzy Sherbet Smoothie
Perfect for strawberry cheerleaders seeking an afternoon pick-me-up with a bit of a zing, this fast and easy smoothie will hit a thousand spots (no, really, it’s inevitable I’ll miss my mouth and dump half of it down me). What’s even better is there are only four ingredients! You can…
Lemonade Three Ways
Here in the South of England we’ve had a miraculous April. The past couple of weeks have been glorious, and even on the long bank holiday weekend just passed we only had an hour of rain. With average daytime temperatures in the mid-20s (celcius, kids) the whole weekend and a…
Welcome Winter with this fruity hot spiced apple drink
In case you didn’t know, winter is not, I repeat: not, my favourite time of the year. I crave brightness and warmth, beaches and forest hikes amidst sun drenched foliage, weather worthy of serious summery picnicking. Alas I do like a hot beverage, and rarely are they as satisfying as…
Eggnog Spice Coffee Syrup
You can obtain some pretty fantastic commercially available coffee syrup flavours, but if there’s nothing on hand and you want a basic homemade syrup then here you go. It’s both easy and tasty, and will help you and your kitchen welcome in the seasonal drama. If you’re into that sort…
Simple and Fresh Ginger Lemon Tea
I’d planned on posting this recipe anyway, but Michelle over at My Zoetrope has named ginger and lemon as this week’s vegan mofo iron chef challenge. Call it a cop out entry (really, this is a stupidly easy thing to make), but you’ll be grateful once you try it. So…
Raspberry Choco Smoothie & Vegan Brunch
Okay, okay, so my main point of this post is to encourage everyone (omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike) to purchase Isa Chandra Moscowicz’s latest book, Vegan Brunch. It just happens this very simple but also delicious recipe for a fruity chocolate smoothie goes great with brunch. See the muffin in…
