VEGAN YOGI BOWL + A COOKBOOK GIVEAWAY! (GF, NF, V+)

There are probably 1000s of cookbooks on the market and being a plant-based foodie and food blogger, I've come accross loads in my time. To be honest after a while, they all start to look the same and there are few books that truly stand out. But in the cluttered cookbook section of any good bookstore, Cassandra Bodzak's vegan cookbook 'Eat with Intention' WILL stand out; in fact for me it already does which is why I'm delighted to be hosting a giveaway of her book this week, as well as sharing my own adaptation of her delicious Vegan Yogi Bowl recipe.

VEGAN GLUTEN-FREE TOFU TERIYAKI WITH RICE NOODLES FOR THE TOFOO COMPANY! (ChF, GF, NF, V+)

When I tell people that I eat a predominantly plant-based lifestyle, the first question I'm always asked is: 'Where do you get your protein from?' Though all plant-based foods contain protein - even fruit - legumes are vegan protein powerhouses! Soya beans are legumes and hence full of protein. They are also the key ingredient in TOFOO's naked tofu, which I used in today's recipe for delicious Vegan Gluten-Free Tofu Teriyaki with Rice Noodles

VEGAN CINNAMON APPLE ROLLS WITH SALVIA+LIMONE AND TWIGG STUDIOS (V+, ChF)

Two weeks ago I had the joy of working on not one, but TWO collaborations with some of the best food bloggers I know. First, at the start of the week I invited Aimee R. from Wallflower Kitchen into my home and together we made these fluffy vegan pancakes. (Sooooo yummy!) Then, later that same week Silvia from Salvia+Limone and Aimee T. from Twigg Studios popped by to bake today's insanely yummy vegan apple cinnamon buns. 

Those of you who read the blog regularly or follow me on instagram will know that Silvia, Aimee T. and I baked together once before earlier this year when we created this vegan matcha pistachio tres leches cake. So gorgeous, right?! We promised one another that very day we'd meet and bake together again and true to our word, we did!
