Recipes

I'm a creative cook I often don't use exact measurements but most of these recipes are hard to mess up just go with your taste buds and heart!!

  • Add 1 teaspoon of stock powder ((vegetable or chicken)), 3/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of finely grated lemon rind and 3 tablespoons of honey and stir until it reduces and gets sticky
  • Add tofu back to the pan and toss around till each piece is covered and heated through again
  • Serve with rice, greens of choice and spring onions
  • You could use Chicken instead of Tofu

    Treats 

    Chocolate Nut Bars

    • Mix up your favourite bliss ball recipe, I use Almonds + Dates + Cacao
    • Instead of rolling the bliss balls flatten them into a tray
    • Cool in the fridge
    • Cut them into bars
    • Dip them into melted Chocolate
    • While the Chocolate is still wet add some salt and crumbled nuts on top 

     

     

     

    Raspberry Tart 

    • Once again use your favourite Bliss ball recipe  and press it into a tart pan
    • Let it set in the fridge
    • Melt 2 blocks of chocolate ((I use Raspberry Lindt)) with 1 small can of coconut cream ((the more cream the more soggy the tart filling will be))
    • Pour it into the tart case
    • Add rasberries
    • Let it set in the fridge
