Firstly some cookbook news!!
I’m so excited to tell you that I’ve been writing a cookbook! I’ve been beavering away on the biggest and most exciting project of my life for some time now and I’ve poured my heart into creating the recipes – I can’t wait to share it with you 🙏🏻
You’re going to find everything; warming comfort foods, dishes packed with flavour and spices, easy one pot meals, incredible desserts and much more. I’ll be sharing more news in the coming weeks on my social media channels with some sneak peaks.
My cookbook ‘Rebel Recipes – vegan food for the soul’ will be published on 26 Dec, and it’s available to pre-order now. Get your hands on a first addition – here’s the link 🙏🏻❤️

And now for the risotto – which has juicy mushrooms and is beautifully flavoured with basil pesto and lots of lemon.
Delicious just as it is but then (and I’m not sure why I haven’t done with before) topped with gorgeous bursting roast cherry tomatoes – They pop and their juices ooze into the rice. Amazing.
The final flourish – topped with more pesto, toasted pine nuts, a drizzle of balsamic glaze and rocket. So good!


I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

Did you know that I have a new cookbook?
It's called Rebel Recipes and I'm so proud of it. If you like my recipes I know you'll love my cookbook - It took me over a year to develop (and years in the making) and it's packed with deliciously vibrant veg packed recipes!

Looking forward to having this for dinner tonight!
I hope you enjoy! xx
Do you have to add the yeast? What is the purpose of this?
Hi Anna
The nutritional yeast adds a ‘cheesy’ flavour. Its not essential but improves the flavour.

Delicious!! I opted to use prepare pesto but it still turned out great. I followed this recipe exactly and it yielded upwards of 8 servings rather than 2-4.
Hi Shannon
Perfect! Must be my greedy portions!
Much love
