Deliciously Ella’s Carrot Cake
I love carrot cake, it’s rich and comforting and in this recipe the burst of juicy raisins and the coconut sugar bring out the natural sweetness of the carrots. We use an icing made from cashew nuts, as we think they’re a great match for the flavours in the cake. INGREDIENTS For the cake 400g […]
Deliciously Ella’s Apple and Banana Spelt Muffins
Although spelt flour is best for this recipe, it also works with plain gluten-free flour. We tried other flours, including brown rice, buckwheat and coconut, but found they didn’t create the right fluffiness. Also, note that the dough does look quite thick, so don’t be surprised by that – it all comes together perfectly when […]

Deliciously Ella’s Mushroom and Cauliflower Risotto Recipe
When we’re catering for guests who may be a little sceptical of a vegan meal we tend to go with dishes that feel familiar and accessible, like a risotto.

Deliciously Ella’s Sweet Potato Noodles with a Creamy Peanut Satay Sauce
These noodles were quite a revelation to me. They’re so much heartier and more filling than courgette noodles, and this satay sauce really brings them to life. It’s so incredibly creamy, with subtle hints of chilli and tangy lime. Together they make for the best pick-me-up dinner, healthy but comforting and bursting with flavour. You […]
