Bone Broth: The Ultimate Recipe

30 November 2018 |

In my previous post I promised you a recipe to make the best, collagen-boosting broth: so here it is. (Don’t worry, any vegans out there can skip straight to the end). If you were paying any attention at all to my earlier ramblings (and I absolutely don’t blame you if…

Vegan Katsu Curry

10 August 2018 |

We all know that a vegetarian way of life is a better way: better for your health, better for the planet and, as yogis know, is one way of practising Ahimsa, the Buddhist practice of non-harm. In the Wannabe household – as I’m sure it does in many households across the…

Homemade Yoghurt: Helping your Health and the Planet

15 April 2018 |

I have a confession to make: I buy food in plastic packaging. Much though I’d like to, I haven’t been able to eradicate plastic from my life. I did try, but fairly early on in the experiment I realised the Wannabe family would soon starve if I continued along the…

Best Chocolate Cake Ever: Torta Caprese

16 March 2018 |

Torte Caprese is a cake that originates from the Italian island of Capri. Made with ground almonds (so gluten-free) and dark chocolate it is rich and indulgent and I think one of the best chocolate cakes ever.
