Lentil lasagne topped with my homemade almond parmesan (parmesan recipe on my blog). The secret to making my white sauce taste ‘cheesey’ is nutritional yeast, white miso and a couple of spoonfuls of @clearspringuk umeboshi paste. If you haven’t heard of it, it is a Japanese salt-pickled plum paste, which gives the sauce a cheese like tang!

I love all the new vegan products that we have here in finland. I tested @mokaurameijeri new vanilla flavour oat rahkis a few days ago. I added Some sea buckthorn, blueberries, gojis, dried rose petals and fresh mint and it was so good. The oat rahkis is thicker and creamier than regular yoghurt and worked perfectly with the sour berries. This isn’t a sponsored or gifted post, it is just a product I loved!

Strawberry and almond muffins (mansikka-mantelimuffinsit). I recently received a small gift from @nushfoods to celebrate the launch of nush products here in finland. It included a recipe for strawberry and almond Victoria sponge, which I tweaked to make these muffins. They are gluten and refined sugar free and topped with delicious @nushfoods strawberry and almond yog. Click the link in my bio or visit my blog for the recipe

Happy world vegan day! To celebrate - Black bean mochi soup with cavolo nero and sea vegetables! If you have tried mochi yet, you should! These pounded rice cakes puff up when cooked and are great in sweet and savoury dishes. I made a quick soup using @clearspringuk noodle broth, threw in some of my favourite vegetables, @clearspringuk black bean mochi and finished with a sprinkle @clearspringuk sea vegetables. Quick and delicious. #gifted

Ale-basted watermelon steak! Recipe in comments. Have you ever tried watermelon meat? Or would you give it a try? I have had this picture for a while on my phone but was unsure whether to post it. A while ago I was reading about the craze for watermelon ‘meat’ and decided to give it a go. I was surprised at the result, the watermelon didn’t disintegrate, however I wouldn’t say I particularly loved it either. The watermelon is still quite sweet and even with the addition of mustard you can’t escape the fact this is a piece of watermelon!

Throwback to my rice pudding with roasted cardamom plums. Perfect for autumn mornings
