For me plant-based eating isn't a trend - as soon as I could get into the kitchen as a teenager I started to experiment (badly) to try and create the vegetarian food I wanted to eat.

Meat and two veg have always been off the agenda and through trial and error I was soon making the food I loved and I've continued to experiment ever since.

I think that everyone is different but for me eating a plant-based minimally processed diet full of vegetables, pulses, grains, nuts and seeds makes me feel the best (and of course it's good for the environment and animal welfare - happy days).

You won't find any limp lettuce of boring old school vegan food here though - when you're as obsessed with vegetables, flavours and spices as I am it's amazing what deliciousness can be created.

All my recipes are vegan, mostly naturally gluten-free (although I love a good sourdough), refined sugar-free but full of vibrancy and flavour. I try not to make my recipes overly complicated so they are as accessible as possible (I get turned off my complicated ones) I hope I can inspire you to love to cook as much as I do, with my easy, delicious and nutritious dishes.

When I launched Rebel Recipes in 2015 it was just a place to share my recipes and foodie passion. I had no idea where my food blog would take me. It's pretty amazing that this has now become my full-time job and I couldn’t be any more happy and grateful.
