Easy gluten-free vegan christmas recipes…
Gluten-free Vegan Christmas Seed Roasts
I’ve been making ‘seed roasts’ for years now. Very popular indeed and an excellent addition to your main meal. Here’s a very popular loaf made with the most simple of ingredients. On Christmas day a few years back, we all wanted some kind of ‘nut roast’ type thing to enjoy with vegetables, roast potatoes and gravy. I rose to the challenge, feeling inspired to use sunflower seeds, rather than nuts. It’s been a firm favourite with family and friends ever since…
The flavours dance divinely in this roast loaf. The nutmeg and ground coriander add a welcomed warmth and delightful aromatic excitement for the senses. Nutmeg is wonderfully warming with its rich, sweet and fragrant depth. The gently sweet, nutty and citrus notes of ground coriander seeds complement the other ingredients to perfection.It holds together exceedingly well…
Gluten-free Vegan Christmas Potatoes and Veggies
Easy Roast Potatoes – Turmeric Style
There are lots of ways to do roasties, although I always prefer to use a minimal amount of oil (either olive oil or coconut oil) – just enough to give them a nice little bit of crisp, without feeling drenched or saturated in the stuff. Tasty and vibrant, they really hit the spot…
How to roast carrots easily
Roasting carrots creates a sort of alchemical change that brings your veggies to a whole new level of deliciousness. They add a nice colour to your plate too.

Easy Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Brussel sprouts – either you love ’em or you don’t. I absolutelyadore earthy greens in abundance and quite honestly, can just eat a whole plate full of them. So it only seems fitting that I share a recipe here for anyone wondering about roasting them. If you want other veggies roasted too, then use the same principle…
Gluten-free Vegan Christmas Gravy
This just works – it’s a real hit and it is very easy to make. You simply need water, onion powder, tamari (or shoyu) and onion powder. Wave a little magic and you are done haha. Well almost!
Gravy requires a thickener like tapioca starch, tapioca flour or cornflour/cornstarch. In this recipe, I bring in things like onion, garlic, mushrooms, leeks and saute them very quickly to bring out their flavoursome depths. I am also using garden herbs like parsley, salt or tamari and a pinch of pepper…
Gluten-free Vegan Christmas Recipes: Desserts
Xmas Fruit n’ Nut Truffles (no-bake)
These truffles are remarkably easy to make, with a bit of time needed for soaking in advance. They don’t require baking; are gluten-free; dairy-free; and also free from refined sugar. Avoiding all these things opens up a whole new world of delicious possibilities. I use dried fruit and orange to sweeten, along with nutritious nuts, seeds, and coconut to add substance, flavour and a fudge-like depth. The warming mixed spices dance and entwine to create a soft, wholesome bite of seasonal bliss…
Gluten-free Vegan Christmas Sweet Mince Pies
Move over Mr Kipling because these are gonna knock your socks off! The only problem with these is actually that they taste too good haha – so it’s easy to eat too many of them (good job they are healthy). Sweet mince pies are traditional pies of British origin, dating back through the centuries. Nobody quite knows how it got to be the pie it is today. All I know is that I love the taste of them, so I decided (of course) to make a Kind Earth version of them using gluten-free pastry and super healthy sweet mincemeat filling.
After Dinner Mint Chocolates
